Role of Sodium Sulfide – Copper Lead & Zinc Ore Flotation
Sodium sulfide is one of the most widely used alkali metal sulfides in the flotation of copper, lead, and zinc minerals in their oxidized form. The sulfidization process, developed in the U.S.A. in 1915-20 for oxide copper minerals flotation, is especially suitable for oxidized lead ores in which the gangue is usually basic.

60 Centuries of Copper: The Flotation Process
The Flotation Process. Until quite recently copper ore had to be hand-picked if the extraction of the metal was to be economical. In fact, in the last century, ores of 4 percent grade were regarded as almost valueless. Today such ores (which would be regarded as relatively rich in copper) are scarce; the great majority of mines contain the ...
