摘要: A flotation model developed at the Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre was used to predict performance of copper rougher and scavenger circuits concentrator Mount Isa Mines. The describes kinetic response an ore in a cell terms floatability, characteristics froth recovery. float-ability parameters feed were obtained directly from detailed plant survey. Flotation analysis carried out for twenty different size-by-liberation classes account effects particle size liberation on flotation. This paper investigates capability behavior 20 banks.
