The Impact of Pulp Temperature on the Flotation Performance of Copper
A complex copper-lead-zinc sulfide ore from a mine in the Iberian belt was used in the flotation tests. The chemical composition of the ore was given in Table 1. The ore is a massive sulfide ore with approx. 75% pyrite, 0.8% chalcopyrite, 1.2% galena, 9% sphalerite and trace amounts of secondary copper minerals and arsenopyrite.
