A sequential flotation process was proposed to separate arsenic-bearing minerals from copper concentrates (Fig. 15), in which a bulk Cu-As concentrate is produced first, and subsequent flotation stages at pH 11 and varying redox potential, from reducing to oxidizing conditions, are implemented (Tayebi-Khorami et al., 2017).
This process is called copper activation on pyrite flotation (Fairthorne et al., 1997, Finkelstein, 1997, Peng et al., 2012, Trahar et al., 1994, Voigt et al., 1994, Weisener and Gerson, 2000). The copper activation products can interact with flotation collectors, rendering pyrite surface hydrophobic in alkaline solution and resulting in high ...
The pyrite processing mostly in flotation, flowed by the gravity separation process, and gravity-flotation combination. For ore with simple ore properties, coarser grain size or uneven grain size, a single gravity separation process can be used.

It is usually associated with other sulfides with similar properties. Although the mineral …
The results of pyrite flotation with ethyl xanthate indicate that the formation of ferric dihydroxy ethyl xanthate on pyrite surfaces can either improve or deteriorate the floatability of pyrite, depending on the concentration of ethyl xanthate. Good flotation can be obtained when ethyl xanthate ions and/or diethyl dixanthogen are coadsorbed on ...
