A review is given of the processing of copper-nickel ores with particular emphasis placed on the rejection of the mineral pyrrhotite which is the principal source of sulfur in concentrates that are smelted. Methods of treatment that have evolved for processing ores from three different localities with slightly different mineralogical composition are described and the reasons for the processing
1/10/1996· The tech- nique proposed is a differential flotation process that exploits the ease of flotation of chalcopyrite in the complete or virtual absence of collector but in the presence of sulphur dioxide together with an effective complexing agent, such as dieth- ylenetriamine @ETA), and a frother, whereby both pentlandite and pyrrhotite are depressed allowing selective recovery of chalcopyrite
A new method for the treatment of Ni-Cu sulphides ores from the Sudbury region by differential flotation is presented. The method exploits the ease of

The pentlandite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite from Enonkoski ore ground in a steel mill floated easily without a collector at low pH values of 3–5 (Figure 1). The floatability of these three minerals was improved when the same ore was ground in a ceramic mill (Figure 2). This suggests that collectorless flotation in acidic pH can be adopted as

promotes the flotability of all principal sulphides in the ore leading to a bulk flotation concentrate. The ease of individual mineral flotability under normal aeration conditions, which is chalcopyrite > pentlandite > pyrrotite, changes to pentlandite > chalcopyrite > pyrrhotite under oxygen-deficient conditions. This behaviour is correlated with the catalytic activity ofthese minerals for
Although the treated chalcopyrite and pentlandite displayed low recoveries at all pH values, the treated pyrrhotite displayed high floatability at acidic and neutral pH. The recovery of the
Abstract. Pyrrhotite (Po) is one of the most abundant sulfide minerals in processing industry and must be rejected in most cases. Particularly, Po rejection and its selectivity against pentlandite (Pn) have long been a challenge due to similarities in the mineral composition of the two minerals and the collectorless flotation characteristics of Po.

Pentlandite is a catalyst for production of hydrogen and oxygen from water using electricity. It is said to be as effective at this as platinum, which is significantly rarer and more expensive.
The disadvantage of this method is the formation of a flotation pulp of large quantities of sludge, presents fine particles of chalcopyrite and pentlandite, which is not effective izvlekali in concentrates, lost with waste products (Abramov A.A. enrichment Technology oxidized and mixed ores of non-ferrous metals.

Most of the world’s nickel is extracted from the mineral pentlandite, (Ni, Fe)9S8, which frequently occurs in ores containing predominantly pyrrhotite and various non-sulRdes, some of which contain magnesium (Table 1). The nickel content in such sulRde ores is generally low (0.2}3%) and varies from place to place in the same deposit. The low nickel content of the present-day nickel sulRde

The PGEs are recovered by flotation and the flotation of the BMS is treated as a bulk sulphide recovery. In order to maximize PGE recovery, the recovery of all the BMS needs to be optimized. It is
