FROTH FLOTATION “So many variables influence flotation that it will be long before every one of them can be investigated and its influence on the process determined” The froth flotation process was patented by E H F K Pickard and John Ballot in 1906 19 years after the first cyanide process patents of MacArthur and the Forests

The next section describes these effects on the flotation of specific sulphide minerals EFFECT OF GRINDING MEDIA ON SULPHIDE MINERAL FLOTATION Significant progress has been made in recent years in identifying the role grinding media can play in flotation

Due to the high mobility of copper ions in numerous structurallyrelated phases copper sulphide Cu 2−x S 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 has been widely used as a starting template to fabricate various heterostructures via cation exchange Such nanoheterostructures can possess unique combinations of physical properties that could be useful in diverse applications

Being pyrite iron sulphide the main gangue mineral associated with copper sulphides it is of the main interest to study conditions to obtain selective depression of pyrite In the case of Cu–Mo flotation plants inorganic depressant reagents are commonly used such as cyanide Na 2 S NaSH or some sulphites

Dialkyldithiophosphinates are a new class of flotation collectors for base metal sulfide ores Structurally they are quite different from the conventional collectors such as mercaptans xanthates thionocarbamates and dithiophosphates Organophosphines and their derivatives form strong metal complexes Thus they offer potential applications in mineral beneficiation metal recovery corrosion
