The Importance of pH in Flotation
This is a very important measurement for the flotation operator. Some minerals like Iron pyrite will not float well in an alkaline flotation circuit. An alkaline solution is also slightly caustic, this will help clean the surface of the mineral. This strengthens the bond between the collector and the surface of each mineral particle.

Flotation Depressants
Sodium cyanide. Sodium cyanide is mainly used to depress sphalerite in the first or lead-flotation stage in separating lead from zinc minerals. Its action on pyrite is nearly as strong as on sphalerite, but it does not affect galena unless a large excess is added or the contact time is too long. The effect of sodium cyanide is often intensified ...

Effects of pyrite on the flotation behavior and electrochemical interaction of different particle sizes of galena in the presence of diethyldithiocarbamate. ABSTRACT Lead is widely used metals and pyrite is usually associated with galena. In addition, galena is prone to super-crushing during the grinding process.
Flotation Kinetics
The floatation chamber has a capacity of 2.7 l and is also equipped with conventional systems to introduce air and mechanical agitation able to maintain the suspension of metallurgical pulp. In the upper part of the cell there is an area in which the is recovered for analysis by a process called "skimming."
Sequential Copper–Lead–Zinc Flotation
The advantages of the sequential circuits are that the levels of selectivity can be increased, particularly for copper and lead. With this process, copper was recovered first with MBS depression of lead, zinc and pyrite. Lead was recovered after conditioning, utilizing cyanide as the base depression scheme to control sphalerite and pyrite.

The Extraction of Copper
The method used to extract copper from its ores depends on the nature of the ore. Sulfide ores such as chalcopyrite ( CuFeS2 C u F e S 2) are converted to copper by a different method from silicate, carbonate or sulfate ores. Chalcopyrite (also known as copper pyrites) and similar sulfide ores are the commonest ores of copper.
Which of the following ores is not concentrated by froth floatation
Copper pyrite is a sulphide ore ( C u F e S 2 ). Pentlandite is an iron-nickel sulphide ore ( F e, N i) 9 S 8 and zinc blende ( Z n S) is also a sulphide ore hence it is concentrated by froth floatation process. While Pyrolusite is an oxide ore ( M n O 2) and cannot be concentrated by this process. Hence, (C) is the correct option.

The first stage is a conventional froth flotation in which the majority of the mineral matter and the coarse pyrite or pyrite which is associated with shale are removed as tailings.
