Molybdenum is an important alloy element for metallurgical industry because of its high
temperature stability. As the major mineral reserve for molybdenum, molybdenite (MoS 2) is …

Lime (calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide) is arguably the most common reagent used in the
extractive minerals processing industry. As an effective and economic pH modifier, lime is …

As water resources become scarcer and society's demands to reduce freshwater extraction
have increased, mine sites have been increasing water reuse and accessing multiple water …

Molybdenite (MoS 2) is a naturally hydrophobic mineral with anisotropic surface properties.
Its floatability is influenced by a number of factors such as, particle size and shape …

Seawater flotation has been applied to mineral processing in areas located far from fresh
water resources. However, as seawater has a detrimental effect on molybdenite floatability …

Copper ions are unavoidable in the process of copper-molybdenum flotation separation.
The flotation response of chalcopyrite and molybdenite in the presence of copper ions was …

Abstract Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ are generally inevitable in the flotation of molybdenite. In this
work, the effect of Cu 2+ and Fe 3+ on the flotation of molybdenite was investigated through …

Seawater has been reported to depress the floatability of molybdenum in copper-
molybdenum (Cu-Mo) flotation circuits under alkaline conditions (pH> 9.5). However, the …

Probing anisotropic surface properties of layer-type mineral is fundamentally important in
understanding its surface charge and wettability for a variety of applications. In this study, the …

Molybdenite flotation in the bulk copper/molybdenum flotation circuit at Kennecott Utah
Copper was studied by means of a combination of plant metallurgical surveys, laboratory …
