Electrical resistivities at 77 K and 300 K were measured by a direct current four-point method in commercially purity titanium plates after tensile deformations. The resistivities basically increased by the deformations. The Matthiessen’s plot shows good linearity.

The effects of various flotation parameters, such as flotation time, PAX dosage, slurry pH and air injection rate on beneficiation of copper from the low-grade copper ore were studied. The recovery of copper reached 93.1% and the grade of copper improved to 18.2 mass% from 0.4 mass% under collector-less optimum flotation conditions. The enrichment ratio of copper in the concentrate was 45. The copper concentrate obtained from flotation of the low-grade copper ore was treated by atmospheric leaching and high-pressure oxidative leaching processes. A maximum recovery (>93.0%) of copper was obtained by high-pressure oxidative leaching in the water, whereas the copper recovery was lower than 12% in the sulfuric acid solution under atmospheric leaching conditions. The copper concentration in a pregnant leach solution enriched up to 15.0 g/L under the optimized leaching conditions. The effect of impurity such as iron in the sample on the froth flotation and both leaching processes is also considered. A process flow for the recovery of copper from silicate-containing low-grade copper ores is proposed as a result of these studies.","PeriodicalId":20971,"journal":{"name":"Resources Processing","volume":"39 1","pages":"3-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77434832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leaching experiments were performed in Erlenmeyer flasks containing 200 mL of the sulfuric acid medium while agitated with a magnetic stirrer at 50°C. The addition of carbon black enhanced the kinetics of chalcopyrite leaching at an initial pH of 1.2. The extraction yield of Cu was 97% in 98 h in the presence of 0.2 g of carbon black, compared with 18% in the absence of carbon black. The acceleration of chalcopyrite dissolution did not occur without direct contact between the ore and the carbon black, suggesting that a galvanic interaction between the two materials plays a role in the improvement of the leaching rate. In the presence of carbon black, the redox potential fell below 600 mV vs. SHE with a decrease in the ratio of Fe(III) to Fe(II), and the leaching rate of chalcopyrite increased markedly. The enhanced kinetics of chalcopyrite leaching in the copper ore could be attributed to dissolution reactions at a low redox potential and to the galvanic interaction between the chalcopyrite and the carbon black.","PeriodicalId":20971,"journal":{"name":"Resources Processing","volume":"4 1","pages":"90-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83562561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
