Recent advances in machine vision systems make froth image analysis a promising tool for real-time monitoring, evaluating, and controlling flotation performance. This study investigates the characteristics of the froth in two mechanical industrial fl...
Intimate knowledge of the mineralogical assembly of the Yushui complex ore rich in Cu, Pb, and Ag is essential if efficient separation processing is to be conducted. With the aid of testing instruments, such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-r...
The present work investigates a comparative study between mechanical and ImhoflotTM cells on a mini-pilot scale and the applicability of one self-aspirated H-16 cell (hybrid ImhoflotTM cell) on an industrial scale on-site. The VM-04 cell (vertical fe...
Annually, hundreds of thousands of tons of slags are involved in the reverberator and flash smelting as well as converting operations of Cu-Fe sulfide concentrates to produce matte in the Sar Cheshmeh copper smelter plant, Iran, disposed in the landf...
High-phosphorus oolitic iron ore, treated by suspended flash magnetic roasting, contained 42.73% iron (mainly present as magnetite) and 0.93% phosphorus (present as collophane). Low-intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) was combined with reverse flota...
Custom copper smelters, which are dependent on purchased concentrates, are facing increasing economic pressures amid falling treatment and refining fees. With the declining availability of high-grade, low-impurity concentrates, copper demand is expec...
