CONCENTRATION OF OXIDE COPPER ORES BY FLOTATION SEPARATION

摘要

Oxide copper ores in subdivided form may be concentrated in a flotation separation process by slurrying said ores in an aqueous solution of a flotation reagent followed by generating gas bubbles in the slurry to float the oxide copper and recovering the concentrated oxide copper from the surface of the slurry, wherein the flotation reagent is a quaternary hydrocarbyl ammonium or phosphonium halide salt.
