The effects of electrical comminution on the mineral liberation …
The surface chemistry of the valuable mineral is a critical factor in determining separation performances by flotation and leaching. The formation of a passivating polysulphide film during chalcopyrite oxidation (Parker et al., 1981, Buckley and Woods, 1984) prevents flotation reagents from adhering to the surface and the valuable minerals can therefore not be …
