Effect of particle size on the surface oxidation and flotation behavior of galena particles in lime system

ABSTRACT

In this research, the effect of particle size on the surface oxidation and flotation behavior of galena in the lime system was studied. Coarse (?0.074 + 0.038 mm), intermediate (?0.038 + 0.025 mm) and fine (?0.025 mm) galena particles were used in the experiment. The dissolution tests, flotation tests, and sorption tests were accomplished. Through further analysis by XPS, the effect of particle size and lime was observed. The decrease of mineral particle sizes increased the adsorption ratio of collector and the dissolution of galena, while the hydrophilic product OH^?/Ca(OH)⁺ produced by dissolution occupied the dominant position, which led to the minerals hydrophilic.     

Investigation into the flotation response of refractory molybdenum ore to depressant mixtures:A case study

In this paper, bulk flotation followed by separation was investigated to concentrate purified molybdenite product from Jinduicheng molybdenum ores(Shanxi province, China). The bench scale tests mainly focussed on separation of molybdenite from other sulfide minerals using the new type of depressants.The effect of each single depressant, including organic depressant-modified dextrin(MD), P-Nokes reagent(PN) and sodium trithiocarbonate(ST), and their mixtures on galena, chalcopyrite and other sulfide ores, was examined in turn by changing the concentrations used in cleaner flotation tests. Closed circuit experiments were carried out under the optimal condition and satisfying recovery and grade of molybdenite concentrate could be achieved(86.294% and 53.157%, respectively). A potential reagent regime was developed, with more environmental friendly and more economical advantages due to the introduction of modified dextrin.

Pressure leaching of a lead-zinc-silver concentrate with nitric acid at moderate temperatures between 130 and 170 °C

The aim of this investigation was to study the oxidative leaching of lead and silver from a lead-silver concentrate containing galena, sphalerite, pyrite and argentite in nitric acid solutions above the melting point of sulfur (119 °C). The elemental sulfur formed was expected to agglomerate, thereby slowing its oxidation to sulfate and inhibiting the precipitation of lead and silver sulfate.The experimental conditions employed 0.13-0.65 M nitric acid, which is 3 to 15 times the stoichiometric amount needed to form sulfur, at temperatures between 130 and 170 °C. Higher acid concentrations have a favorable effect on silver and lead dissolution at 130 °C with about 90% Ag and 80% Pb extracted into 0.65 M nitric acid within 90 min. However, an increase in temperature caused a decline in the extraction of both metals, due to the greater amount of sulfate produced. Pyrite was found to oxidize directly to akaganeite and sulfate ion and promotes the formation of plumbo- and argento-jarosite. X-ray diffraction analyses of the leach residues show the presence of anglesite (PbSO₄), plumbo-jarosite (PbFe₆(SO₄)₄(OH)₁₂), elemental sulfur (S-β) and akaganeite (FeO(OH)). Enhanced silver extraction was obtained when the oxidation was carried out in the presence of citrate ion which was added to complex with lead and silver ions.
