The natural types of copper ores are generally divided into sulfide ores (containing less than 10% copper oxide), mixed ores (containing 10 to 30% copper oxide) and oxidized ores (containing 10% to 30% copper oxide) according to the different proportions of copper oxide and copper sulfide. Copper (copper above 30%) three types. The commonly used beneficiation processes for different types of copper ores are as follows:
1. Single copper sulfide: generally beneficiated by flotation.
2. Polymetallic copper sulfide: According to its main components, you can choose the mixed flotation method, the preferential flotation method, the mixed preferential flotation method, the flotation and gravity separation combined beneficiation method, the flotation and magnetic separation combined beneficiation method, and the flotation beneficiation method. Processing combined with selection and hydrometallurgy, etc.
3. Mixed copper: Generally, flotation is used, which can be treated alone or together with sulfide ore; flotation and hydrometallurgy can also be used together, that is, the copper concentrate is first selected by flotation, and then the flotation The final tailings are treated by hydrometallurgy.
4. Copper oxide: generally treated by a combination of flotation and hydrometallurgy or a combination of segregation and flotation; ores containing high levels of combined copper oxide are generally treated by hydrometallurgy.
