Lead-Zinc ores

The bulk concentrate is subsequently conditioned with sodium hydroxide to achieve an approximate 11.5 pH and collector addition from which a lead concentrate is floated. The zinc concentrate is actually the tails from this bulk separation step. The flotation tailing is the zinc concentrate. If the silver is associated with the galena, the ...

Sequential Copper–Lead–Zinc Flotation

As shown in the summary tables, copper was, on average, 63% recovered into the copper concentrate grading 24% copper. The recovery and grade of unwanted lead and zinc was very low when compared to the other flowsheets. Lead in the feed was, on average, 36% recovered into a concentrate, grading 55%. Similar to the copper circuit, the grade and ...

Lead and Zinc Sintering

Sometimes it is difficult to separate lead and zinc minerals, Imperial Smelting Process is used to treat mixed zinc-lead ores for production of lead and zinc metals simultaneously. A typical flowsheet of lead-zinc smelter is shown in Figure 1 . ... and increasing bulk iron concentration.

Zinc Copper Lead Gold & Silver Concentrate Marketing

This difference in net returns is still more apparent when zinc is considered, for zinc in a bulk concentrate is very undesirable at lead or copper smelters. You usually not only get nothing from these plants for the zinc, but are penalized for it above a certain minimum, and the amount admitted without penalty is as low as 5% in some instances.

How to Process Copper Lead Zinc Ore with Gold and Silver …

The lead and copper must be removed in bulk as a mixed concentrate and then the zinc floated as a separate concentrate because of marketing requirements. A further separation of the lead-copper into their respective products by flotation is often economically advantageous if the crude ore contains 0.8% copper (16 pounds per ton) or more.
