Read MoreCopper sulfide ore has good inherent floatability, so flotation process is a mature method used for copper sulfide ore separation. In recent years, with the continuous development of copper sulphide flotation technology, many scholars also proposed a series of new principles of mineral processing, such as "collect early, loss early" and "more crushing and less grinding".
