Xanthates are by far the most widely used collectors in the froth flotation beneficiation of sulfide ores. However, the xanthate production process suffers from low yield, low productivity, long
Flotation Froth
This froth flotation method is applicable to lead and zinc sulfide minerals with different flotation behaviors due to different inset components, which can obtain the better flotation indexes while reducing the configuration volume of the flotation machine, reduce metal circulation and loss, decrease the flotation reagent consumption and simplify the process flow.
As for zinc, Figure 10 shows that, at 50 g/ton of chitosan, the recovery of zinc in the froth increased by 40% compared to NaCN at its optimum dosage which is undesirable in the differential flotation of sulfide minerals where lead and copper sulfides are floated in the first flotation stages while sphalerite is depressed.
The plant design for froth flotation of sulfide ores depends on its component and ore floatability. After crushing grinding and gravity separation of sulfide ores, the froth flotation plant design is conducted under mineral testing and floatation reagent design. Application: With 20+Years experience of EPC service & Beneficiation Plant Design.
In the ZnS flotation, the maximum separation achievable for ZnS using froth flotation has been shown to be a grade of 72.57% and a recovery of 95.43%. At this time, FeAsS removal of 87.8% (0.16% As) could be successfully accomplished under pH 11, and 800g/t Zn activator (CuSO4), 75g/t frother (AF65), 60g/t collector (AP211) and 600g/t As depressant (NaHSO3).

A Century of Innovation comprehensively describes the state-of-the-art research and practice in mineral froth flotation as known and practiced a century after its introduction.
Froth flotation can be adapted to a broad range of mineral separations, as it is possible to use chemical treatments to selectively alter mineral surfaces so that they have the necessary properties for the separation. It is currently in use for many diverse applications, with a few examples being: separating sulfide minerals from silica gangue

Froth flotation is a process for separating minerals from gangue by taking advantage of differences in their hydrophobicity.Hydrophobicity differences between valuable minerals and waste gangue are increased through the use of surfactants and wetting agents.
Froth flotation is a commonly used method for efficient separation of different minerals from finely grinded sulfide ore.The mineral level information is an important tool for the optimization of flotation process parameters as it is uneconomical to make mineral products with unacceptably low concentrations and to lose a share of the valuable .
Froth flotation recent trends flotation of sulphide istory of sulphide ore flotation dates back to beginning of 20th centuryulphide ores are major sources of base metals like copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt etceneficiation of these base metal sulphide minerals is predominating through froth flotation technique.

Sulfide Mineral Flotation Maurice C. Fuerstenau, Subhash Chander, and Ronald Woods INTRODUCTION Froth flotation was developed at the Broken Hill mine, Australia, a century ago with the flo- tation of the common sulfide mineral, sphalerite. With this development, billions of tons of worthless rock containing a variety of valuable metals became ore.
Dowfroth 250 Standard frother for a wide variety of applications. Recommended particularly where a good degree of selectivity is required together with high recovery for a broad range of fine/medium particle flotation systems of the sulphide minerals of copper, lead, zinc and copper/nickel. Dowfroth 1012 Strongest frother.
Examples of metal-containing sulfide minerals which may be concentrated by froth flotation using the composition and method of this invention include copper-bearing minerals such as covellite (CuS), chalcocite (Cu 2 S), chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2), valleriite (Cu 2 Fe 4 S 7 or Cu 3 Fe 4 S 7), bornite (Cu 5 FeS 4), cubanite (Cu 2 SFe 4 S 5), enargite (Cu 3 (As 1 Sb)S 4), tetrahedrite (Cu 3 SbS 2
sulphide minerals is predominating through froth flotation technique. This technology has acclaimed importance as a versatile process for beneficiation of vast variety of sulphide minerals. Due to flexibility of the process and remarkable development taken place in flotation technology and its ancillary systems, it has now become possible to
Froth flotation of Aljustrel sulphide complex ore 759 Froth flotation occurs in an aqueous medium which involves aggregation of air bubbles and mineral particles with subsequent levitation of aggregates to the surface and transfer to a froth phase. The degree of particle surface wettability determines attachment and aggregation.
Froth Flotation machine plays an indispensable role in the mineral beneficiation process, flotation is susceptible to a number of factors during the process, including grinding fineness, slurry concentration, pulp pH, pharmaceutical system, aeration and agitation, flotation time, water quality and other process factors.
3. Xanthate Application in Copper Froth Flotation. In the flotation process of copper ore, xanthate mainly reacts with Cu2+. Therefore, when processing minerals containing more Cu2+ on the surface, the effect of xanthate is stronger, and the order of its action is: Cu2S > CuS > Cu5FeS4 > CuFeS2. 4. Xanthate Application in Galena Froth Flotation.
The surface conversion of sulfide mixtures from a sulfide/sulfide to an oxide/sulfide system facilitated separation using the oxide collector Flotinor FS-2. Therefore, the approach of applying selective surface oxidation of mineral mixtures by low-temperature plasma pretreatment seemed to be a promising strategy for improving the separation efficiency of different sulfides by froth flotation.
The oxidized minerals of copper, chiefly the carbonate, can be extracted from ores containing them by methods which differ somewhat from those required for the flotation of the sulphide minerals ; the flotation of ores in which sulphide and oxidized minerals occur together has not been very successful up to the present.

Froth flotation is one of the steps which is generally performed before roasting and it deals with the surface chemistry of liquids and of the minerals to be separated. This process requires a particular setup to be performed which contains different components.
