N-Hydrocinnamoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine Float sphalerite Copper sulfate activation |
Résumé : |
N-Hydrocinnamoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (HCNPHA) was determined to float sphalerite without copper sulfate activation. However, the concomitant flotation of sulfidic (pyrite) and nonsulfidic gangue (silica) minerals significantly reduced the grade of the float concentrate. The addition of only 200 g/t copper sulfate, which is ∼20% of that which is being used currently in the xanthate reagent scheme, improved the grade and the recovery. Seven different types of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-1−CMC-7) were tested. CMC-1 was found to be the best as a depressant of gangue flotation. Copper sulfate appeared to differentiate the sphalerite surface well and facilitated chelation while the CMC changed the frothing characteristics of the slurry and prevented entrainment of gangue into float concentrate (froth). Studies on flotation kinetics also confirmed the improved selectivity attained by using copper sulfate and a CMC. The selectivity index (SI) for sphalerite, with respect to pyrite, improved from 0.88 to 2.35 when copper sulfate was added, and that for nonsulfidic gangue increased from 1.93 to 6.29 when CMC was added. |
