The ore was pulverized, sieved to liberation size and beneficiated. The mesh of grind was found to be 189 μm, and the liberation size was established to be 63 μm sieve size having the highest percentage of lead of 15.1% then enriched to 69.8% by froth flotation method and was assessed by using x-ray fluorescence (XRF).
The rougher and scavenger concentrates may be reground to a predetermined liberation size and then subjected to two or three stages of cleaner flotation to produce a final flotation concentrate. Cleaner flotation tailings is an intermediate product and is recycled within the flotation circuit.
Authors' comment: The Rmax parameter is affected by many factors e.g. the type of mineral, mineral composition, particle size distribution, oxidation degree, mineral liberation, and flotation system (flotation reagent and type flotation machine). It was shown that each ore has a different oxidation degree that might affect the Rmax value as ...
The determination of the liberation size of an ore is paramount in any process design. Therefore, th e main thrust of this research is to establish the size where optimum liberation of the gold from the associated gangue minerals occurs and also assess its susceptibility to the froth flotation process.
Oct 01, 2012· Highlights Rate data for flotation of fully liberated and composite galena particles has been re-interpreted. Rate constants of all particles show similar behaviour with respect to particle size. For a given fractional liberation, reduced rate constant k/k max is independent of particle size. A liberation function is defined, which is a function of the fractional liberation. The form of the k ...
10%· Considering this previous general model of liberation by size reduction as a good support, flotation kinetics is reviewed in order to provide evidence for the kinetic rate constants (seen as non-wettability parameters) as dependent on the grade distribution conditional on size.
It has recently been shown for various different ore types that the liberation properties of a given mineral in the ore remains consistent for a given size fraction irrespective of the overall particle size distribution. This is particularly valid for the finer size fractions relevant to the flotation feed.
In order to determine the influence of mineral liberation on flotation performance, a flotation model that incorporates liberation information explicitly has been developed ... characteristic recoveries were obtained from batch flotation results of individual size fractions and image analysis of feed and products. The validity of this model was

This communication presents a model structure for the flotation recovery of middling particles (10–90% liberation). Fourteen datasets from the literature were studied (galena flotation), which involved different flotation systems and operating conditions. The flotation responses allowed the model flexibility to be evaluated under a range of recovery profiles.
Mineralogical characteristics and flotation behaviour for lepidolite rich ... as a host mineral with an average liberation grain size below 300 µm. The other associated minerals in the ore are quartz, feldspar, along with minor quantities of phosphates, cassiterite, niobium,
The degree of liberation of sphalerite and galena was determined based on size from flotation feed (FF) and flotation tails (FT), as part of an extensive mineralogical process study. The bulk liberation of galena and sphalerite was 77% and 87%, respectively, in the flotation feed.
liberation [1]. Wills, continues, that for the process of flotation to take place effectively and efficiently many parameters should be well adjusted including an optimized size distribution of grains i.e. grind size, that will allow as much valuable resource to float and retain gangue as much as possible to the tails.
The mesh of grind was found to be 210 µm and the liberation size was established to be 125 µm sieve size having the highest percentage of copper of 11.9 and 14.9% copper oxide. The study recommended further investigation on ... flotation reagents, as well as oxidation more readily.

nominal plant grind size and a size-by-liberation analysis performed. The analysis revealed that equivalent liberation could be obtained at a grind size approximately 50-60µm coarser than the nominal plant grind due to the microwave treatment. Flotation testing indicated that an increase in copper recovery of approximately 1% could be
The liberation size of the molybdenum sample was obtained in a range of 10 µm and 800 µm. It was observed that chalcopyrite particles partially transformed to ... the particle size on the flotation is seen in Fig. 4. It can be seen from Fig. 4 that while the recovery of molybdenum increased gradually, the molybdenum content decreased as the ...
Flotation performance has proved to be strongly dependent on particle size and liberation. To obtain targeted metallurgical results, mineral particles cannot be excessively fine or coarse due to the typically low flotation rates caused by hydrodynamic cell conditions [1,2,3,4].Mineral liberation also influences the flotation recovery through its relationship with the collection probability and ...
Froth flotation is an important concentration process. This process can be used to separate any two different particles and operated by the surface chemistry of the particles. In flotation, bubbles are introduced into a pulp and the bubbles rise through the pulp.
flotation reagent and the Characteristics of flotation machine and so on[1-2]. Particle size plays important role in flotation processes, the liberation of ores and the detachment of particles, during which bubble coalescence are decided by it. There is an optimal particle size for a certain ore. If mineral
Jul 29, 2021· Approximately 60–65% of the particles are liberated in this size fraction, however as the particle size decreases to 150 µm, the degree of liberation has reached about 70%.
The 80 per cent passing size of the flotation feed with the conventional circuit was 125 microns. The Copper Concentrator has two parallel grinding lines, two roughing and scavenging flotation lines, and common cleaning, recleaning and retreatment sections.

Aug 01, 2000· Flotation analysis was carried out for twenty different size-by-liberation classes to account for the effects of particle size and liberation on flotation. This paper investigates the capability of the model to predict the flotation behavior of 20 different size-by-liberation classes in the rougher and the scavenger banks.
Jan 12, 2018· 3.0 Liberation and Comminution. 3.1 Liberation. In order to separate the minerals from gangue (the waste minerals), it is necessary to crush and grind the rock to unlock, or liberate, valuable minerals so that they are partially or fully exposed. This process of size reduction is called comminution.
