The impact of milling media and chemical conditions in the milling process for the flotation of a mixed-sulfide ore
Chemical reactions during milling and flotation are mostly driven by interactions between minerals, reagents, milling media, and water chemistry. Furthermore, due to these interactions, the valuable minerals may become more difficult to float, especially in the case of polymetallic ore processing in closed-water circuits. This study uses a mixed mineral − galena (Gn) and pyrite (Py) − synthetic ore sample to investigate how metallurgical performance is affected using different milling media, pHs in the mill, and process water ionic strengths. Mixed potential, DO, and pH were closely monitored in situ during milling. Using Gn and Py as the minerals of interest allows the effect of iron (Fe) in the mineral to be decoupled from that arising from the mill shell and Fe-bearing milling media.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is to provide for the rapid publication of topical papers featuring the latest developments in the allied fields of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Its wide ranging coverage of research and practical (operating) topics includes physical separation methods, such as comminution, flotation concentration and dewatering, chemical methods such as bio-, hydro-, and electro-metallurgy, analytical techniques, process control, simulation and instrumentation, and mineralogical aspects of processing. Environmental issues, particularly those pertaining to sustainable development, will also be strongly covered.
