Flotation of antimony ores with high arsenic content

Efficient evaluation of antimony ores, which are on the critical raw materials list due to the supply risk by the European Union, is an important necessity. In this context, ore preparation and enrichment processes are very important during the process from ore to metal. Especially for sulfide antimony ores, the most common beneficiation method is flotation. Therefore, antimony ore consisting of stibnite mineral obtained from Tokat-Turkey region was used in this study. Due to the low antimony (5.06%Sb) and the high Arsenic (1.38%As) content, it is an important requirement to increase the Sb content of this ore by flotation, as well as to reduce the As content to certain levels. Stibnite as an antimony mineral and arsenopyrite as arsenic mineral, are minerals that have a sulphurous structure in mineralization and their flotation properties are quite close to each other. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to selectively separate the bulk concentrate taken from rougher flotation by cleaning steps. A bulk sulfur concentrate with 24.54% Sb and 3.69% As content obtained as a result of the rougher flotation was obtained with a recovery of 98.9%. This product was subjected to 6 stages of cleaning flotation and a concentrate with a content of 63.8% Sb and 0.31% As was produced with an antimony recovery of 83% Sb.

The design of the grinding circuits and the control of the transferring load in the ore preparation plants are of great importance from a technical and economic point of view. The importance of the circulating load for grinding process is well known and stated in the literature. However, there are not many studies on the effect on the following processes. In this study, the effect of the circulating load on both the grinding capacity and the subsequent flotation process was investigated at laboratory scale. Copper ore was used in the experiments. The circulating load was adjusted by changing the residence time of the material in the mill. Then, flotation experiments were carried out with the materials obtained at different circuit loads. The results showed that the grinding capacity can be increased up to 180% by optimizing the circulating load and it will positively affect the flotation performance. It was observed that a concentrate with the highest recovery for the same Cu grade was obtained with CLR of 150 % when compared to flotation recoveries through various CLRs. It is suggested that the circulating load should not be evaluated only in terms of the grinding process, but also the subsequent processes should be considered. Future studies in this area may contribute to industrial applications.
