The present invention relates to flotation of sulfidic copper-molybdenum- and gold-containing minerals. More specifically, the invention relates to sulfoxy reagent-assisted floatation for separating of sulfides of copper, molybdenum and gold from pyrite, marcasite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, and other gangue minerals following aerating by an oxidizing gas and contacting by a sulfoxy reagent.
Keywords: acid leaching, copper removal, flotation tailings, re-flotation. Extractive metallurgy of heavy metals from sul-phide ores comprises several steps of separation and concentration processes, leading towards the final product - pure metal. The first step is flotation concen-tration, at which sulphide metal minerals are separ-
Flotation separates the metallic minerals from the gangue this way and separates molybdenite from copper sulphide. High rate thickeners are then used to thicken each of the copper and moly concentrates, and a vacuum drum (or other) filter dewaters the concentrates further before refining or storing until sale.
