The sequential copper–lead–zinc flotation practice utilizes several major reagent combinations in sequential copper–lead flotation, which include: bisulfide method, starch/lime method and soda ash/SO 2 or lime/SO 2 method. The bulk copper–lead flotation with depression of zinc followed by copper–lead separation and reflotation of
The scope of this study was to recover oxide lead and zinc minerals from Aladağ Region (KayseriTurkey) ores. Primary studies carried out with this ore have shown that flotation of oxidized lead and zinc minerals, in particular zinc minerals was difficult (Engin and Önal, 2003). In this paper, flotation properties of lead–zinc minerals or
At Rosh Pinah leadzinc concentrator in southern Namibia (the major valuable minerals being chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite), sequential CuPbZn flotation is used.
Lead/Zinc Separation Process and Circuit Flowsheet. Extensive batch and pilot plant testing and actual plant operating experience has established the above flowsheet as typical for the average zinc sulfide ore containing galena and usually pyrite in a lime or siliceous gangue.

The Corani silverleadzinc project is loed in the district of Corani within the province of Carabaya, Puno, Peru. Bear Creek Mining, the project developer, obtained approval for the environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) of the project from the Peruvian government in September 2013.
of sphalerite as composite particles during lead flotation, and (c) the pulp pH was best maintained at natural pH during preflotation and at an elevated alkaline pH (pH 9.5) during lead flotation for optimal selectivity. In terms of depressants it was found that zinc sulfate specifically depressed sphalerite during lead flotation.
The processes for extracting the silver, lead and zinc from the ore involve grinding, sequential flotation and leaching techniques that produce highgrade, marketable lead and zinc
Lead and Zinc Lead and zinc ores are usually found together with gold and silver. A leadzinc ore may also contain lead sulfide, zinc sulfide, iron sulfide, iron carbonate, and quartz. When zinc and lead sulfides are present in profitable amounts they are regarded as ore minerals. The remaining rock and minerals are called gangue.
