Effective costs of Copper Processing Grinding steel often contributes as much as, if not more than, the total mill energy cost, and the quality of grinding medium used often warrants special study. Grinding is by far the greatest energy consumer and this process undoubtedly has the greatest influence on metallurgical efficiency. Figure 4 shows ...

The proper oxygenation of pulp is an important parameter in the flotation of complex metal sulfide ores (Surface Chemistry of Froth Flotation, Jan Leja, Plenum Press (1982)).For example, it has been reported that conditioning of ore slurries with oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide can be used as part of a process to separate a desired copper mineral from unwanted iron …

Stage 2: Froth flotation The powdered ore is mixed with a special paraffin oil which makes the copper mineral particles water repellent. It is then fed into a bath of water containing a ing agent which produces a kind of bubble bath. This is a rare chance to see a mill and flotation building before the roof is built.

Surface finish refers to the process of altering a metal's surface that involves removing, adding, or reshaping. It is a measure of the complete texture of a product's surface that is defined by three characteristics of surface roughness, waviness, and lay. The surface roughness is the measure of the total spaced irregularities on the surface.
