Selective separation of chalcopyrite from jamesonite with guar gum

Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing

A novel reagent, guar gum (GG), is investigated as the depressant on the depression of chalcopyrite and jamesonite, when mixed aerofloat (CSU11) is used as the collector in flotation tests. Kinetics, dynamic potential, adsorption and infrared spectra analysis are performed to study the interaction mechanism between GG and minerals. The flotation results display that selective flotation separation of chalcopyrite from jamesonite is achieved under conditions of depressant GG 2.5 mg/dm3, collector CSU11 10 mg/dm3 and frother MIBC (Methyl isobutyl carbinol) 10 mg/dm3 at pH 5.3. As to mixed minerals flotation, the Cu grade and recovery in the concentrate is 21.35 % and 85.12 %, respectively, indicating that GG has a selective depression effect on jamesonite. Flotation kinetics shows that the addition of GG can dramatically reduce the floatability of jamesonite but hardly influences that of chalcopyrite. The zeta potential and adsorption reveal that the depressant GG adsorbs strongly on the surface of jamesonite. Infrared spectra reveal a dominant chemisorption between GG and jamesonite, while GG occurs weak chemisorption on chalcopyrite surface. This is the reason why GG has excellent selectivity for jamesonite and less effect on chalcopyrite.

The flotation separation of chalcopyrite from monoclinic pyrrhotite using food-grade guar gum (FGG) as a depressant was studied through micro flotation and flotation kinetics experiments, zeta potential, adsorption measurements and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis as well as infrared spectroscopy analysis. The flotation tests showed that the reagent scheme of depressant FGG 40 mg/dm3, collector PAX (potassium amyl xanthate) 10 mg/dm3 and frother MIBC (Methyl isobutyl carbinol) 10 mg/dm3 at pH 8.0 could achieve selective flotation separation of chalcopyrite from monoclinic pyrrhotite (a concentrate with Cu grade of 22.35% and recovery of 82.52% was achieved from the mixed minerals flotation), which indicated that FGG exhibited a selective depression effect on monoclinic pyrrhotite The kinetics, zeta potential, adsorption, SEM and infrared studies revealed that the depressant FGG could absorb more strongly on the surface of monoclinic pyrrhotite than chalcopyrite. Additionally, the results revealed that the interaction of FGG with the monoclinic pyrrhotite surface was governed primarily by strong chemisorption, whereas FGG mainly bonded to chalcopyrite through hydrogen bonding bonding. This property was the reason why FGG had excellent depression selectivity toward monoclinic pyrrhotite and weak depression effect on chalcopyrite flotation.
