Abstract

See full text

This invention provides a process for improved separation of mono/multi-metallic sulphide minerals from significant amounts of iron sulphides, mainly pyrrhotite and/or their finely divided process middlings. The process comprises subjecting such material to a conditioning stage with at least one water-soluble sulphur-containing inorganic compound as a prerequisite step for further conditioning with nitrogen-containing organic chelating agents, preferably polyethylenepolyamines, prior to froth flotation wherein iron mineral, primarily pyrrhotite is depressed, thus allowing selective recovery of mono/multi-metallic minerals containing non-ferrous metal value(s).
