Aug 04, 2021 Abstract In the present work, a biosurfactant-producing and sulfur-oxidizing mixotrophic bacterium (identified as Citrobacter sp.) was studied as flotation reagents to substitute for several hazardous chemical reagents to establish a cleaner and greener mineral processing. The mixotrophic bacterium Citrobacter sp. was adapted with galena (PbS)
The adsorption amount of pectin has a considerable effect on galena flotation, and the micro-flotation results showed that galena was stronger depressed in the presence of copper sulfate. This alteration could be attributed to the following mechanism copper sulfate increased the active sites on the galena surface and promoted pectin adsorption.
A flowsheet has been proposed to improve selectivity between galena and sphalerite in the lead flotation circuit. It includes the regrinding of the lead rougher concentrate prior to the cleaning stage due to poor liberation between galena and sphalerite. Keywords Froth flotation, Sulphide ores, Flotation activators, Flotation depressants,
Bioleaching of galena flotation concentrate 285 bacterial activity decline. The surface of galena is then covered with a passive film of lead sulphate, which makes further process of galena oxidizing impossible. The redox potential stays at low unchangeable level which indicates that there is no oxidizing of Fe(II).
Lead floatation separation works of floatability difference of different materials with ite great beneficiation indication. The floatability of galena, esp. the fine inlay galena is very great, so floatation separation is the ideal beneficiation way to
The floatability of galena, esp. the fine inlay galena is very great, so floatation separation is the ideal beneficiation way to get lead concentrate from fine embedded lead ore. The detailed floatation separation flow sheet is as below The crushed lead ore will be conveyed to the vibration screen to get ore of 0-5mm and 5mm.
Optimum galena flotation and galena selectivity against pyrite were achieved by selecting grinding conditions that enabled lead and iron oxidn. to be controlled. Aeration during grinding interfered with oxygen redn. occurring on the mineral acting as the cathode, as a result of galvanic interaction, and influenced the flotation of that cathodic ...
Apr 11, 2019 4. Xanthate Application in Galena Froth Flotation. The surface of galena is hydrophobic, so its easy for flotation. Xanthate is the common collector for the flotation of galena. When the pH is high, the galena is easily floated by the ethyl xanthate. The optimum pH for flotation is 7-8, which can usually be adjusted with sodium carbonate.
Sep 01, 2016 In lead flotation, act as an inhibitor of sphalerite flotation under alkaline pulp condition by deactivation. Similarly, sodium chromate (20-40 g/t) was applied to depress galena in zinc cleaning flotation.

SYNOPSIS These effects were investigated in batch flotation studies, and by the measurement of rest and pulp potentials. At Iow additions of sulphurous acid as the pH regulator, flotation rate increased with increasing concentrations of dissolved oxygen. The recovery of chalcopyrite dropped significantly below a pH value of about 6,5 at 25 p.p.m. of dissolved oxygen, and
Laboratory flotation tests were conducted to investigate the role of pH, zinc sulfate and potassium metabisulfite in the flotation of galena and marmatite in the Broken Hill orebody. Marmatite was depressed under alkaline conditions alone, however the addition of the two depressants, either individually or combined, resulted in the greatest selectivity.
Apr 23, 2016 Several processes have been developed for the separation of lead from zinc sulphides by two-stage selective flotation, but the only method that is employed widely enough to warrant a description in these pages is the one whereby the zinc minerals are depressed by sodium cyanide and/or zinc sulphate, allowing the galena, which remains unaffected, to be
