Abstract

One of the most important methods in the beneficiation of sulfide ores is flotation. Flotation experiments on a laboratory scale are mainly carried out through batch flotation and microflotation tests. In this study, comparative flotation experiments of pyrite minerals were conducted under the same conditions using the two methods mentioned above. A series of experiments were carried out with different pH values and collector dosages selected as flotation parameters. The highest flotation recovery was obtained at a pH of 7.5 with the use of PAX. Furthermore, within the conditions studied, a correlation of 94% was found between the two flotation techniques when using PAX, while it was 98% in the use of PEX. In this study. It was shown that the microflotation method can be used to estimate the efficiency values that can be obtained with batch flotation experiments.
