This paper describes possibilities of organic carbon matter separation during a pre-flotation stage in KGHM Polska Miedz, Division of Concentrators. The paper contains a survey of organic carbon removal technologies in worldwide plants as well as KGHM achievements in this field. Laboratory flota-tion testing results have also been described. Next, an industrial scale trial at Polkowice Concentrator has been conducted to confirm the previous laboratory results. The results have been discussed. They indicate a positive role of the pre-flotation stage on organic carbon removal using only frother as the flotation reagent.
