Texture and color appearance of froth is a discreet qualitative tool for evaluating the performance of flotation process. The structure of a froth developed on the flotation cell has a significant effect on the grade and recovery of copper concentrate. In this work, image analysis and neural networks have been implemented to model and control the performance of such a system. The result reveals...

The new copper processing plant of the Sarcheshmeh copper complex consists of two parallel circuits. After a primary crushing, the ore is sent to a SAG mill, and the product is further ground in a ball mill. The overflow of the hydrocyclones is fed to a flotation circuit that contains 8 rougher tank cells (RCS130), 3 cleaner cells (RCS50), 5 scavenger cells (RCS50), and a flotation column (as r...

The technogen concentrate containing copper sulfide was obtained by alkaline-sulfide leaching of tetrahedrite with Bi, Sb, and As contamination. which contains Cu-33.45%, Fe-14.14%, Ag-0.73%, S-23.87% were sulphation roasted under air, the optimum condition extraction from product studied. According to XRD SEM-EDS analysis, residue roasting at lower temperatures sulfate associated minerals such...

In the process of cyanidation gold concentrate from a smelting company, content copper and zinc in liquid gradually increased. production, acidizing is used to treat lean solution high concentrate, mixed products containing copper, other metals are produced. this paper, pH value precipitation 6.0 3.0 through theoretical calculation experiment. The separation realized successfully. product with ...

Gold was determined in copper concentrate by an instrumental neutron activation analysis technique using the relative method. The determination was repeated by radiochemical and chemical neutron activation analysis with the aid of an anion exchange strategy for the chemical separation of gold from the matrix (Fe, Cu, and Zn). Irradiation of copper concentrate samples was carried out in APSARA r...

The leaching behaviors of gold and silver from a complex sulfide concentrate in copper-tartrate-thiosulfate solutions were investigated this paper. Experimental parameters, including temperature, initial pulp pH, concentration copper, tartrate, thiosulfate, systematically studied. system exhibits promising performance dealing with the concentrate. Thiosulfate consumption could be greatly reduce...

in this study, effects of solid concentration, temperature, and initial fe2+ concentration on bioleaching of sulfide mineral (chalcopyrite) obtained from sarcheshmeh copper mine in the region of kerman located in the south of iran were investigated. a mesophilic iron oxidizing bacterium, acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has been isolated from a typical chalcopyrite copper concentrate of the menti...

Solvent extraction of copper from the copper leach solution obtained from the ammoniacal carbonate leaching of the Sarcheshmeh copper concentrate was carried out, and the performance of CP-150, LIX984N, and Kelex100 as well as the effects of different parameters involved were investigated. According to the results obtained, the extraction kinetics of all the three extractants was fast. High con...
