Lead Zinc Sulfide Separation by Sequential Flotation
Copper Sulphate is universally used to activate sphalerite for subsequent recovery by "Sub-A" Flotation. This reagent is added to the conditioner along with the lime. An eight cell "Sub-A" Flotation Machine of the proper size as determined by test is recommended for zinc flotation.
