pH Ranges for Sequential Cu Pb Zn Flotation | Separation

To understand froth flotation, first read that article and come back to read about sequential flotation of Copper, Lead and Zinc. Given a baseline amount of frother and collector, these curves are the approximate/relative rate of flotation recovery of Copper (Chalcopyrite/Bornite/Chalcocite/Covellite/Tennantite/Enargite/Tetrahedrite /Freibergite ), Lead (Galena) and Zinc (Sphalerite) as well as iron (pyrite/arsenopyrite) minerals VS pH. With a slurry’s natural

Effect of Collector and pH on Pyrite Fe Selectivity Flotation/Depression

The curves below show how pH 5.5-6.5 is where conditions are optimum for iron depression. Shown on the previous chart but not these curves is this same pH 5.5-6.5 is also the optimum for Pb depression. Note on the graph how iron recovery increases as collector dosage increases. Even at optimum pH 6, over dosage of collector will negate flotation
