Some of the metals that can do the job are copper and lead. At a pH between 8-9 lead can activate sphalerite to cause it flotation. So the reason is during the flotation of the two there may be lead re dissolution from galena which may activate sphalerite to cause it flotation. It may best if you are doing bulk flotation of the two.

With this process, copper was recovered first with MBS depression of lead, zinc and pyrite. Lead was recovered after conditioning, utilizing cyanide as the base depression scheme to control sphalerite and pyrite. In these tests, a zinc flotation was also performed to measure the metallurgical performance of that metal.

Froth flotation is a physicochemical separation process in which a mixture of fine mineral particles is mixed with water in a large tank (cell), and a swarm of …

On lead-zinc ores, differential flotation of a part of the lead in the form of a high-grade lead concentrate may be accomplished. This fact is, in some cases, held to justify the use of such methods preceding froth flotation. ... Otherwise flotation should be the principal process, with gravity-concentration subordinate, if, indeed it be ...

The optimum conditions were evaluated in terms of the recovery of copper, gold and lead during the separation flotation process. For the flotation kinetics tests in different sizes, six products were obtained by dividing the ore sample according to the phased recycle of 0–0.5 min, 0.5–1 min, 1–2 min, 2–3 min, 3–4 min, 4–5 min. ...

Lab-scale experiments results show that the new process contributed to the flotation of the complex mixed sulfide-oxide lead and zinc ore regarding two aspects: (1) …

The green and eco-friendly flotation process to enrich wolframite under lead-free pulp is an attractive issue, which is promising to be broken through an innovative oxidation flotation approach with H 2 O 2 and N-[(3-hydroxyamino)-propoxy]-N-hexyl dithiocarbamate (HAHD).The flotation results indicated that in comparison to the …

The recovery of zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) from a citric leach solution of a non-sulfide type ore flotation tailing was examined utilizing sulfuric acid precipitation followed by solvent extraction using di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as the extractant. Following lead precipitation (98.9%) with sulfuric acid, the pregnant leach solution was …

Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral …

An excessive addition of activated carbon is harmful for lead and bismuth minerals flotation because all the reagents will be absorbed by the activated carbon. This problem will persist until saturate all the …

Flotation: The most common method for lead-zinc ore beneficiation is flotation. In this step, the finely ground ore is mixed with water and reagents, including collectors and frothers.

Flotation is widely used to concentrate copper, lead, and zinc minerals, which commonly accompany one another in their ores. Many complex ore mixtures formerly of little value have become major sources of certain …

A brief history of the one MCDM method, namely WASPAS, which would be the basis for the solution of the most appropriate Pb-Zn flotation circuit design, is considered in more detail. Zavadskas et al.
