DetailsFlotation separates the metallic minerals from the gangue this way and - in the case of copper/ molybdenum ores - separates molybdenite from copper sulfide. The resulting MoS 2 concentrate contains between 85 and 92% MoS 2. Further treatment by acid leaching dissolves impurities like copper and lead, if necessary.
DetailsPoor floatability of molybdenite due to calcium and magnesium compound and the increased lime consumption have been claimed as the biggest challenges in Cu-Mo sulphide ores flotation in seawater (Castro, 2012) and new methods are required to reach high recoveries of both copper and molybdenum with an appropriated separation of gangue iron sulphides.
DetailsCurrently, both copper oxides and sulphide ores are actually being exploited in Chile, but sulphide ores predominate over the oxides (Bulatovic, 2007, Cochilco, 2012).Chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2) is the main copper sulphide mineral in these ores, which also contain varying amounts of non-valuable and undesired pyrite (FeS 2) (Bulatovic, …
DetailsGenerally, the main ore mineral is molybdenite (MoS 2) (Smedley and Kinniburgh, 2017), but due to the low abundance, Mo has not always been considered for extraction in primary ores and was deposited in the residues. Here, it can be enriched in certain areas of the heaps due to separation processes and pose as a secondary deposit with the ...
