Low flotation efficiency has always been a problem in the separation of low-grade molybdenum ores because of the finely disseminated nature and crystal anisotropy of molybdenite. In this study, a novel kerosene–coal tar collector (KCTC) was prepared and used to explore the feasibility of improving the recovery of fine molybdenite particles.
Copper-molybdenum porphyry ore is one of the main sources of chalcopyrite and molybdenite, ... The XFG-II flotation machine with 30 ml cell was used for micro-flotation process under the atmospheric environmental conditions. The contact angles were measured by the static hanging drop method using the JC 2000 C contact angle …
It is therefore of significant importance to separate talc and molybdenite in flotation process. In sulfide ore flotation process, depressants, such as carboxymethyl cellulose [6, 7] and polysaccharide reagents (e.g. chitosan [18] and Locust bean gum [19]), are used to depress talc in the flotation process. However, imperfect effects are ...

This paper aims to understand the fundamental interaction mechanism between molybdenite and kaolinite in gypsum solution using kerosene as collector. Micro-flotation tests were conducted to study the effect of gypsum solution on the flotation performance of mixed −74 μm molybdenite and −10 μm kaolinite mineral. The results …
Molybdenite in high-altitude ores is initially recovered with chalcopyrite, which is then separated and floated to produce refined molybdenite. There are few studies on the influence of the sulfide ore flotation process under high-altitude and low dissolved low-dissolved oxygen (DO) environments.
The flotation experiments of single-mineral and the ternary artificially mixed ore were performed using an XFG-Ⅱ flotation machine (Jilin Machinery Plant, China) at an impeller speed of 1992 rpm.
Flotation results showed that molybdenite could be efficient flotation recovery from the artificial mixed ores after the EO pretreatment regardless of the mass rations of chalcopyrite and molybdenite. The surface analysis results illustrated that the surfaces of chalcopyrite and molybdenite were oxidized in the process of EO.
The invention discloses a flotation method for talc-containing molybdenum-zinc ore. The flotation method comprises the following steps: (1) grinding ore; (2) with metal ions and an organic inhibitor or an oxidant and an organic inhibitor as a combined inhibitor for molybdenite and sphalerite, carrying out talc flotation operation; (3) …
The natural floatability of molybdenum ore is good, so the molybdenum ore beneficiation process of direct flotation after crushing and grinding is often used. The useful minerals in copper-molybdenum ore are chalcopyrite, chalcocite, molybdenite, etc. In the production practice process, copper-molybdenum ore is often separated by flotation.
The outcomes of pure mineral flotation provided possible guidance for the selective separation of chalcopyrite and molybdenite using 3-Rd, and bench-scale flotation tests were further performed to evaluate its effectiveness on practical ore.

In this paper, the influence of Ca2+ on the flotation of a skarn type molybdenum ore and pure molybdenite mineral at pH 8 was studied using diesel as the collector. It was found that Ca2+ had little effect on molybdenum flotation at low concentrations. By further increasing Ca2+ concentration, the floatability of …

The interlocking of pyrite with chalcopyrite is the major causes of chalcopyrite access to molybdenum concentrate,. Most of liberated pyrite particles not depressing and have been introduced into molybdenum concentrate, • Molybdenite particles introduced into tailing are blade-shaped and mostly free,. Re-grinding in the flotation circuit, is the …
Most primary-molybdenite producers use a selective-flotation process in which molybdenite is floated from the ore while other sulfide and non-sulfide gangue minerals are depressed in the same step. The process was developed at the Climax mill. Standard laboratory rougher-flotation test procedure involved grinding a 2-kilogram ore …
