Factors Analyses Influencing Flotation Process of Mineral Ores

In the working process of flotation machine, the choice of flotation process should combine with mineral ores features (especially mineral grade and composition), ore beneficiation equipment assignment of the plant and other factors.

The process flow is just the general call of all working processes in the process of dealing with ore slurry. In the process of metal mineral flotation, if any process flow is applied perfectly, sorting accuracy and efficiency achieve the expected requirement and meet industrial application or not, every flotation operating procedure should be taken notice

Another factor deciding the flotation process is technological economic condition the level of which directly decides the complexity of flotation process. Obviously, any type flotation machine is not omnipotent; however bulk flotation process is the important method to improve the mineral utilization. Especially copper, gold, silver and other precious metal usually exist in the mineral intergrowth mode, so simple flotation process can't meet the actual demand and other ore beneficiation processes should be considered. To sum up, it is the complex and giant series systematic project.

As for condition concluding several or many metal ores, flotation process comes at the first. According to the metal content, precious degree and sorting difficulty, generally the process obeys the principles of from simple to complex, from easy to difficult and from more to less. At present, there is another common flow – bulk flotation. In the condition of mineral intergrowth, the useful metal and nonmetal of the mineral materials are refined and then collective concentrate will come out. Next each metal ore concentrate is refined one by one.
