Effect of Water-Air Microemulsion of Flotation Agent Solution on Flotation of Polymetallic Sulfide Ores

The enrichment of polymetallic sulfide ore is a complex task. Fine grinding carried out to reveal useful minerals, resulting in the formation microparticles. It difficult achieve floatation microparticles and fine minerals are lost with flotation tailings. problem microparticle can be solved by using air bubbles smaller than 50 µmin for process. Water-air microemulsion (WAME)of frothersolution obtained generator was used as microbubbles. effect WAME on studied ores gold-bearing from Kazakhstan deposits.The use WAMEin processing allowed themaintenance quality rougher concentrates, increase copper extraction Cu-Pb rougherconcentrate 7.41%, lead 5.98% copper-lead cycle (Cu-Pb-Zn-Fe ore), Cu-Mo 5.2%, molybdenum 4.7% copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo ore). indicators gold into gold-containing concentrate significantly improved comparison basic mode when scavenger cycles: increased 5.3 g/t, 4.27%.
