Title:
ORE DRESSING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/112734
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an ore dressing method that can obtain a low-arsenic-grade concentrate from a high-arsenic-grade starting material. The ore dressing method has: a repulping step for obtaining a mineral slurry by adding water to a starting material that contains an arsenic-free sulfide mineral, i.e., a sulfide mineral that does not contain arsenic, and an arsenic-containing sulfide mineral, i.e., a copper sulfide mineral that contains arsenic; a pH adjustment step for adjusting the pH of the liquid phase of the mineral slurry to at least 10; a conditioning step for adding an oxidizing agent and an alkali metal xanthate to the mineral slurry; and a flotation step for carrying out flotation using the mineral slurry to effect separation of the starting material into: a floating ore that has a higher grade of arsenic-free sulfide mineral than the starting material, and a sedimented ore that has a higher grade of arsenic-containing sulfide mineral than the starting material. The starting material contains 4.4-5.8 weight parts of arsenic per 100 weight parts of copper.
