According to the results from laboratory studies, increasing the dosage of starch from 0 to 1000 g/t increased the recovery of molybdenite flotation and reduced the access of copper minerals to molybdenite concentrate. In this case, molybdenum recovery (in lab tests) is increased by about 5% compared to the case of not using starch.

In the copper-sulfur separation operation, due to the large amount of lime and the fine grinding particle size, it has a greater impact on the corresponding flotation of molybdenite; in the actual copper separation operation, the copper recovery rate is …
Q1-2023 copper production of 16.5 million pounds, 4.5% over guidance. Q1-2023 cash cost 1 of $1.91 per pound, 11% lower than guidance due to strong molybdenum credits. $5.5 million returned to ...
FIRST ROUND: COPPER RECOVERY IMPROVEMENT. A blend of dithiophosphate (DTP), thionocarbamate (TNC) and mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) were added to the SIPX …
In this case, the recovery of copper to molybdenum concentrate is in the lowest possible amount compared to other cases. This is also confirmed in the recoveries obtained for molybdenum because according to Fig. 8, the highest grade and recovery for molybdenum at a concentration of 1000 g/t of starch have been obtained. According to …
