Recovery of molybdenum and copper from porphyry ore via iso-flotability flotation

A copper-molybdenum iso-flotability flotation process has been developed to efficiently improve the recovery ofmolybdenite from Duobaoshan porphyry Cu-Mo ores.The effects of flotation approach,type of collector,feed particle sizedistribution,rougher pH value and reagent dosage on the recovery of molybdenite were evaluated systematically.The results suggestthat compared with kerosene and diesel oil,transformer oil has stronger dispersion capability in water media and better flotationselectivity for molybdenite,providing a higher molybdenum recovery under low reagent dosage.Moreover,compared with bulkflotation approach,the iso-flotability flotation approach using transformer oil as a collector can obtain superior Mo recovery(90.77%)and grade(0.80%)in the cleaner concentrate,and increase the Mo recovery and grade by over18%and5%in the final Moconcentrate,respectively.The results of commercial flotation further indicate that the iso-flotability flotation approach is a rationaland effective route to beneficiate the porphyry Cu-Mo ores.

Using Computer Vision and Intelligent Classification Techniques for the Classification and Selection of Brazilian Nuts

Aiming to improve the processes involved in the industrial beneficiation of the Brazilian nuts, this work used a new methodology based on concepts of computer vision and intelligent classification, with a focus on two of the various stages of the processing： classification according to the origin and selection. Using the proposed methodology for the selection of the nuts it was possible to distinguish between intact and broken nuts and between good and spoiled nuts with a very high percentage of correct identifications. Also to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed methodology, visual tests by human subjects were performed for the classification of the nuts, the results demonstrated that the intelligent techniques performed the same or better than the visual classification.

Effective recovery of chalcopyrite at low temperatures using modified ester collector

The effect of a modified ester collector named as BL on the flotation of chalcopyrite at low temperatures was investigated by micro-flotation tests,contact angle measurements,adsorption experiments,laser particle size analysis,cryogenic transmission electron microscopy(Cryo-TEM)and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)analyses.Micro-flotation tests proved that the collecting ability of BL for chalcopyrite was significantly better than that of N,N-diethyl dithiocarbamate propiononitrile ester(ester-105)at low temperatures.Combined with laser particle size,Cryo-TEM and FTIR analyses,it was found that the particle size of BL in water was smaller than that of ester-105,and the distributed density of BL was higher than that of ester-105 at low temperatures,indicating that BL dispersed well at low temperatures.Therefore,BL was more easily adsorbed on the chalcopyrite surface and improved the surface hydrophobic degree of chalcopyrite,which were also confirmed by the contact angle measurements and adsorption experiments.

Influence of Temperature, Water Quality and Collector Type on Flotation Performance of a Peruvian Phosphate Ore

The sedimentary phosphate deposit of Bayovar is located in a very dry area of Peru （desert of Sechura） which is close to the Pacific coast. It consists of seven superposed layers （beds） which call for different strategy of concentration. The ore is composed predominantly by apatite （84% in weight basis） plus silicates （16%）. To concentrate phosphate from beds 6-7, it is necessary to carry out further cationic reverse flotation of silicates, at neutral pH, to yield a concentrate which meets market specification. The new process was developed in laboratory scale by a collaborative program conducted between Vale S. A. and the University of Sao Paulo--Brazil. As water resources are very limited at Bayovar region, all the steps of concentration, including flotation, must be performed with seawater which must be continuously recycled. This work addresses some relevant topics related to the use of seawater in the reverse cationic flotation of silicates： influence of temperature, water quality （ageing and chemical composition） and collector type. The results indicate that amido amine works better than ether amine. If flotation is conducted with the former collector, the separation process is able to tolerate changes in temperature （25 ℃-40 ℃） and water quality caused by either evaporation or ageing.
