Abstract:
There are a wide variety of complex minerals in the polymetallic ore in Zambia,Cu,Pb,Zn and Ag were the valuable elements,the dissemination particle sizes of copper and lead minerals was uneven,fine particle content was high.This ore type was hard to separate.The preferential flotation flow-sheet was used in this study,Copper concentrate with grade of copper 19.50%,grade of silver 1010.00g/t,recovery of copper 60.49%,lead concentrate with grade of lead 62.75%,grade of silver 300.00g/t,recovery of lead 87.99%,zinc concentrate with grade of zinc 15.72%,recovery of zinc 66.54% and recovery of silver 82.34% in the copper concentrate and lead concentrate had been obtained by the closed-circuit test.Good technical index had been achieved by this experiment,which provided technical basis for the development and utilization of the ore.
