A method is provided for treating molybdenum concentrates in a roasting furnace having a first roasting zone and at least a second roasting zone, the concentrate containing residual flotation oil in an amount over 2% by weight which during roasting inhibits the roasting capacity of the furnace. The improvement resides in deoiling the molybdenite concentrate, feeding the …

The moly flotation circuit has similar groups of flotation cells with chemicals to float the moly concentrate and settle out the copper concentrate. Here, the less dense ore rises in the froth to be collected, while the gangue sinks to be discarded. Flotation separates the metallic minerals from the gangue this way and separates molybdenite ...

Abstract. Some points to be considered in the flotation of molybdenite containing clayey gangue were investigated, and based on the results obtained, the method of flotation operation was examined at the Daito mine, Shimane Prefecture.

Talc is one of the most problematic gangue minerals for molybdenite flotation owing to its strong natural hydrophobicity. In this work, pullulan polysaccharide (PU) was evaluated as a potential depressant in the flotation separation of molybdenite from talc. Bench flotation tests of single mineral samples and multi-mineral samples were carried ...

In the flotation of sulfide minerals, the separation of molybdenite and talc is a difficult problem. Talc is the main gangue mineral of molybdenite, it has good natural hydrophobicity and a similar layered structure as molybdenite, so inhibitors are often used to …

Interactions with gangue minerals Flotation schemes for the separation of molybdenite from ores are based on the inherent natural flotation of molybdenite. Chander and Fuerstenau (1972) undertook a detailed investigation to elucidate the factors that affect the surface properties of MoS 2 which in turn govern the natural flotation of molybdenite.

It is used for all types of ores and minerals (chalcopyrite, molybdenite, galena, sphalerite, gold, Froth flotation 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 ...

The Wushan Operation has been studied as a case study, particularly relevant to the copper-molybdenum separation circuit, in which efforts have been made to improve the quality of the molybdenum concentrate through diagnostic analysis. A key finding has been the appearance of coarser silicate minerals in the molybdenum concentrate due to their …

A process for separating molybdenite from copper concentrates containing copper and iron sulfides, gangue materials and an organic collector comprising (1) conditioning the concentrate in aqueous suspension at a pH below about 7 with a soluble metal salt; (2) contacting the so treated concentrate with hydrogen peroxide at pH of about 4 to about 8; (3) subjecting the concentrate …

Molybdenite [MoS 2] is the principle mineral host, with rhenium substituting for ... and a combination of hydrocyclones and fine screens (hybrid classification). Separation of minerals from gangue can be achieved using flotation or gravity separation. Flotation of coarse mine waste particles can be achieved using fluidised bed reactors (e.g ...

CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): Abstract – Molybdenite flotation in the Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex was studied as a function of pulp potential, controlled using two types of sodium sulfide, a mineral origin and a chemical nature. Air and either plant or laboratory nitrogen were used as flotation careers.

Similar to what has been shown in this present work on the depression of gangue, an investigation into the role of Ca 2+ ions on the surface properties of molybdenite in copper porphyries by Li et al. (2015) showed that …

molybdenite has been achieved with sulfide bulk flotation followed by selective molybdenite flotation by Na 2 S/NaSH addition, because Na 2 S/NaSH acts as a depressant for copper sulfide in the appropriate ... quality of separation between gangue and valuable mineral. It can can

An effective flotation approach is proposed for improving the recovery of molybdenite fines from a finely-disseminated molybdenum ore. To maximize the flotation recovery of molybdenum, process mineralogy of raw ore, contrast tests, optimization of operation conditions and particle size analysis were systematically investigated. Process mineralogy …

Particle size is a very important factor affecting flotation properties of molybdenite. In porphyry copper–molybdenite ores the flotation conditions (grinding, reagents, bubble size, etc.) all are optimized with respect to Cu and not Mo. Fig. 2 shows that the optimum flotation particle size for molybdenite is around 20 μm, and the size fraction 6.8 μm exhibits …

concentrate the molybdenite in the primary ore to a 90 to 95 percent purity concentrate.4 The remainder of the concentrate is primarily silica.5 Copper, iron and lead are the impurities removed as tailings by this flotation process. Several sequential stages of flotation also are used for the copper ore, first to separate the gangue, and then the

True flotation of non-sulphide gangue (NSG) only occurs due to attachment to molybdenite; the very low Mo grade of the ore results in very low NSG R max values. As a comparison, copper porphyry ore may exhibit NSG R max of 4 to 8%. The molybdenite recovery was generally poor under the standard size conditions with P 80 of 210 microns and "m ...

The recovery of molybdenite is independent of the variables investigated. The rejection of sulfide impurities from the molybdenite concentrate is dependent on the conditioning time of Nokes reagent. In the absence of depressants, the rejection of sulfide impurities, with the exception of pyrite, is independent of the pH in the flotation circuit.
