Abstract Aiming at the recovery of copper from smelting slag, a flotation approach was studied. It was found that this slag composed of fine particles with complex association and distribution, in which bornite was the main copper-bearing mineral after a detailed mineralogy analysis via polarizing microscope, SEM and XRD. Consequently, otation was attempted to recycle Cu in …

The copper ore treatment process in RTB Bor produces significant amounts of mine waste material such as: mining waste, flotation tailing and copper slag (Stanojlovic et al., 2014). Mine waste can be defined as waste materials that result from the ore exploration, mineral and pyrometallurgical processing. It is estimated that about 1,2 x 109 tons of mining waste, 0,9 x …
113· Copper slag flotation was studied on an industrial scale at a concentrator plant in the region of Atacama, Chile. This study consisted of the physical, chemical, and mineralogical characterization of the copper slag, along with preliminary flotation tests.
In this study, a hydrometallurgical method for the recovery of copper, cobalt, and zinc from copper slag flotation tailings (SFT) was investigated. SFT contains large amounts of valuable metallic compounds, such as copper, cobalt, and zinc. A
All these three furnaces produce fayalite slag as a byproduct. The slags contain copper with the content ranging between 0.8 to 5% copper. The slags cannot be discarded due to the high content of copper and hence they are sent to a milling and flotation plant (Slag Mill Plant) for liberation and recovery of copper.
81· Several researchers have investigated the possibilities of recovering copper from discarded copper slag. Gravity concentration, froth flotation, roasting and leaching are the three primary routes discussed in the literature. Among all the methods, flotation has gained the attention of most researchers because of its cost economics [35]. The effectiveness of the …

A smelting plant in Bor extract copper from copper ores and copper concentrates by a pyro metallurgical process. During years of operation, a considerable amount of copper slag has been generated as a by-product and has been dumped. Copper contents in these slags are as high as 0.6 up to 0.8%. As such, this slag could be considered as a secondary source for copper re …
The flowsheet of the slag flotation plant adjacent to Aurubis, Pirdop copper smelter is shown in Figure 1. For the aim of the current work, six process streams were sampled using two different sampling set-ups.
Various flotation reagents that are commonly used for copper flotation were identified, selected and used during the flotation test work in order to identify the best reagent best suited to float the copper slags.

214· Copper slag is a major waste produced in pyrometallurgical plants during the smelting and converting operations and has caused heavy environmental contamination. A pyro-hydrometallurgical process for the treatment of copper slag has been developed to accomplish recovery of nickel, cobalt, and copper and reuse of iron source. It was proved that the slag …

912· Due to their relatively high average copper content (about 1.5 wt%), a mineral processing plant based on the flotation process has recently …
Teniente smelting technology produce high copper concentration slag, which are treated to reduce the quantity of copper in the slag. The slag concentration in this slag is higher than some copper mineral weight percent. At the same time, seawater is an alternative for froth flotation, given the current prevailing water crisis. The present paper study of froth flotation of copper, …
