Abstract:
      Overgrinding of copper minerals is one of the causes of copper loss during flotation. The process of pre-classifying - coarse-grained grinding-combined reflotation can reduce the generation of -10μm refractory slime in the grinding process to a certain extent,and reduce the copper loss of -10μm in flotation,so as to improve the recovery of copper.In this paper, a comparative experiment was carried out between the mine mill direct grinding flotation of a low grade copper feed and the mill feed pre-classified-coarse-grained grinding-combined re-flotation. Closed circuit experiment results show that the control of the copper grade of copper concentrate is quite, mill feed directly grinding flotation of copper recovery rate was 89.87%, the mill feed graded in advance - grade coarse grinding - merger and flotation of copper recovery rate was 91.19%, which is 1.32% higher.
