Abstract

Pilot scale studics on the beneficiation of low-grade fluorspar and copper-lead-zinc ore were investigated using flotation columns. Acidspar concentrates suitable for HF production can be produced by adopting two-stage column cleaning in place of multi-stage cleaning by conventional
flotation cells. A three-column canfiguration in the place of four-stage cleaning in acidspar circuit and four in metspar circuit was suggested. Similarly, it was demonstrated that a single stage cleaning by flotation column was found to be sufficient in the plnce of two-stage cleaning by conventional flotation cells to obtain bulk concentrates of Cu-Pb-Zn.
