Froth Flotation of Chalcopyrite/Pyrite Ore: A Critical Review
Frother: n/a. Pyrite ore in pure water. Particle size −74 + 37 µm. pH = 3–11 fixed with NaOH/HCl. Microflotation cell. Pyrite recovery was 90% at pH 3–7 and 80% at pH 8–11. However, with 40 mg/L of PAM, the recovery reduced to 60% at pH = 11. HPAM (40 mg/L) caused a dramatically reduction to 50% at pH = 4 and 10% at pH = 11.
