Abstract
The removal of copper ions from dilute aqueous solutions by the addition of mineral (pyrite) fine particles was undertaken by following an adsorbing (scavenging) flotation mechanism. Pyrite generally constitutes a residual or a solid industrial waste by-product in mixed sulfides processing plants. This paper suggests a further utilization for pyrite. The dissolved-air method was applied for solid/liquid separation when the mineral particles were in the fine (subsieve) size range. Various unconventional collectors for pyrite flotation were also examined.Keywords
