Lead and Zinc Lead and zinc ores are usually found together with gold and silver. A lead-zinc ore may also contain lead sulfide, zinc sulfide, iron sulfide, iron carbonate, and quartz. When zinc and lead sulfides are present in profitable amounts they are regarded as ore minerals. The remaining rock and minerals are called gangue.

of sphalerite as composite particles during lead flotation, and (c) the pulp pH was best maintained at natural pH during pre-flotation and at an elevated alkaline pH (pH 9.5) during lead flotation for optimal selectivity. In terms of depressants it was found that zinc sulfate specifically depressed sphalerite during lead flotation.
Froth flotation is a process used for mineral recovery that takes advantage of the hidrophobicity of different materials, that means that there are materials that will easily get attached to water while others will repel it. The ability of air bub...

Jul 17, 2018· Sodium sulfide is one of the most widely used alkali metal sulfides in the flotation of copper, lead, and zinc minerals in their oxidized form. The sulfidization process, developed in the U.S.A. in 1915-20 for oxide copper minerals flotation, is especially suitable for oxidized lead ores in which the gangue is usually basic.
Apr 27, 2016· Lead Zinc Sulfide Separation by Sequential Flotation. In the majority of the zinc operations, sphalerite (ZnS) is associated with galena and often sulfides of iron and copper. It is therefore essential to arrange the flowsheet not only for recovery of the valuable minerals, but also to selectively separate them into products acceptable to the ...
May 24, 2016· In this operation, a neutral solution of zinc sulphate is fed to the cell which contains a series of lead anodes and zinc-covered cathodes. The electric current leaving the anode would tend to oxidize the lead, but as lead oxide is not soluble in sulphuric acid, the surface of the anode becomes inert and water from the electrolyte is decomposed ...
May 07, 2014· This study explores the flotation behavior of chalcopyrite in the presence of different concentrations of sodium sulfide (Na 2 S·9H 2 O) at pH 12 under controlled potential conditions. It was observed that the flotation of chalcopyrite is not depressed completely when the pulp potential is low, even at high concentrations of sodium sulfide, i.e., 10 −1 –10 −2 mol/L.
Jul 12, 2021· The combination of T-16 + zinc sulfate inhibitor can inhibit zinc, activate copper and lead, and eliminate the effect of slurry viscosity, which can effectively realize the flotation separation of copper-lead and zinc. Activators It can enhance the action of minerals and collectors, so that the refractory minerals are activated and floated.
May 27, 2016· Zheng et al. studied the recovery of zinc from lead smelter slag by sulfidation roasting with pyrite in the presence of sodium carbonate.[18,22,23] It was found that Na 2 CO 3 addition could promote the sulfidation and flotation of zinc, but a satisfactory result always had not been achieved, ascribed to the fact that the ZnS particles ...

Jun 01, 2001· 1.. IntroductionPyrite is one of the major diluents of copper, lead and zinc concentrates. One explanation for the high flotation of pyrite in alkaline pH conditions is its inadvertent activation by copper either dissolved from copper minerals present in the ore or added in the zinc circuit to activate the flotation of sphalerite Bushell and Krauss, 1962, Voigt et al., 1994.
An efficient flotation process was developed to selectively recover elemental sulfur from a high-sulfur pressure acid leaching residue of zinc sulfide concentrate.
