Mineral identification of ToF-SIMS image from lead-zinc sulfide ore was achieved. • MCR-ALS is better than PCA in mineral identification. • The sphalerite, pyrite, calcite and quartz were activated by lead ions in high-alkaline lime systems.. Lead diethyldithiocarbamate are responsible for the loss of sphalerite, pyrite, calcite and quartz to lead concentrate.

Froth flotation and its modeling aspects
Basically, flotation operation can be viewed as a one-input (i.e., feed stream), and two-output (i.e., concentrate and tail stream) system. Typically, for a mechanical flotation cell, the feed slurry enters the cell continuously at the bottom by a gravity flow from a feed column adjacent to the tank, which then gets churned by the rotor-stator mechanism in the holding …

It takes advantage of the difference in the wetting properties of the ore and the gangue particles. Sulphide ore particles are wetted by oil. Gangue particles are wetted by water. Thus froth carries the ore particles to surface and is easily separated from gangue; Bauxite being an oxide ore froth flotation cannot be used.

Silver Gold Recovery Flotation Process
This installation was one of the first large plants to prove the value of flotation in the treatment of gold ores. At the outset, when the ore to be milled was mined at or near the surface, 80% of the values were recoverable by amalgamation, and a 90% recovery could be made by a simple amalgamation and table concentration process.

Froth flotation is a technique that is used selectively for materials that are hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Hydrophobic means water repelling and hydrophilic means water loving that has affinity for water. Froth flotation process starts with increasing the surface area of ore. Firstly, the ores are crushed into fine powder and mixed with water.
