FAQS on argentite froth flotation
What are common collectors used in argentite froth flotation?
Q: What are common collectors used in argentite froth flotation?
A: Xanthates, such as potassium amyl xanthate (PAX), are widely used as collectors. They selectively bind to argentite surfaces, enhancing hydrophobicity. Dithiophosphates may also supplement recovery in complex ores.
How does pH affect argentite recovery during froth flotation?
Q: How does pH affect argentite recovery during froth flotation?
A: Optimal argentite flotation occurs in slightly alkaline conditions (pH 8-10). High acidity reduces collector efficiency, while excessive alkalinity may depress mineral surfaces. pH modifiers like lime are often added for control.
What distinguishes copper froth flotation from zinc froth flotation?
Q: What distinguishes copper froth flotation from zinc froth flotation?
A: Copper flotation typically uses xanthates at pH 9-11 with lime as a depressant for pyrite. Zinc flotation often requires activation with CuSO₄ and operates at lower pH (5-7). Sequential separation is common in Cu-Zn ores.
Why is depressant critical in zinc froth flotation?
Q: Why is depressant critical in zinc froth flotation?
A: Depressants like NaCN or ZnSO₄ inhibit iron sulfide minerals (e.g., pyrite) from floating. This ensures selective zinc concentrate formation. Proper dosing improves grade and reduces downstream processing costs.
Can argentite and copper be floated together in a bulk concentrate?
Q: Can argentite and copper be floated together in a bulk concentrate?
A: Yes, if ore composition allows shared collector systems (e.g., xanthates). pH adjustments and selective depressants may optimize separation later. Economic factors often dictate combined vs. sequential processing.
