Inside the ball mill, the crushed copper ore will grind the ore to about 0.2 mm with 3-inch steel balls. This copper ore slurry is finally pumped to the flotation deck. This copper ore slurry is finally pumped to the flotation deck with the fine sulfide ore (~-0.5 mm) going to froth flotation cells for recovery of copper.

In 1993, the company started operations for consolidated treatment of mixed copper oxides and fully sulfide copper ores and the use of thin-layer leaching. Mobile heap stacking on reusable pads was used for crushed ores (90% less than 12.5 mm) which were pre-agglomerated using water and sulfuric acid. Initial capacity was 45,000 tons of copper ...

GOLD RECOVERY BY FLOTATION. A test on a sample, crushed to pass a screen of 120 holes per linear inch, containing $37 gold and 4.8% copper, gave a recovery by flotation alone of 90% of the gold and 98.5% of the copper, but left $8 gold in the tailing. The concentrate carried 44% insoluble matter, which could be reduced by re-treatment.

Mining produces ores with less than 1 percent copper. Concentration is accomplished at the mine sites by crushing, grinding, and flotation purification, resulting in ore with 15 to 35 percent copper. A continuous process called floatation, which uses water, various flotation chemicals, and compressed air, separates the ore into fractions.
