This decreased activity of the reduced cobalt and promoted reduction of cobalt oxide. As a result, the cobalt yield had a significant increase from 66.2% to 90.1% by adding 2% pig iron. Similarly, the copper also accelerated tin recovery through the formation of a copper–tin alloy. The copper and tin yields reached 94.4% and 95.0%, respectively.

The recovery of cobalt by flotation is typically poor, usually below 60%, and in many instances it is well below this value. The sulphide and oxide flotation circuit at Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) is shown in Fig. 10. The plant is a two-stage circuit, consisting of a sulphide flotation section and an oxide flotation section.

The recovery of cobalt in the copper mining industry is an area that is receiving significant attention. This can be explained by the expected growth of cobalt demand, as is shown in Figure 1, with an

This study aimed to recover cobalt using tailings of the Küre otation plant, which were determined to contain 0.17% Co. Flotation tests were conducted on samples taken from the tailings to …

Additionally, this study contributes to the design of a more effective flotation process for cobalt recovery by ascertaining the adsorption flotation mechanism of xanthate molecules on the surface of cobalt-containing pyrite. These results provide a theoretical basis for enhancing the cobalt grade in cobalt-bearing pyrite.

Carrollite grain size plays a significant role in the recoverability of cobalt. Carrollite is best recovered at a narrow size range (20–45 µm), minimal at > 100 µm. This upper size limit …

In the present study, we report a methodology for the selective recovery of lithium (Li), cobalt (Co), and graphite contents from the end-of-life (EoL) lithium cobalt oxide (LCO)-based Li-ion batteries (LIBs). The thermal treatment of LIBs black mass at 800 °C for 60 min dissociates the cathode compound and reduces Li content into its carbonates, which results in effective …

The flotation behaviours of malachite and heterogenite were studied through many roughing and cleaning flotation tests in order to recovery most of copper and cobalt.

cobalt-nickel-bearing minerals are best characterized by a complex interlock­ ing of siegenite with chalcopyrite, sphalerite (ZnS), and dolomite. Earlier efforts to recover siegenite by flotation …

The froth flotation and behaviors of chalcocite and carrolite were investigated through many flotation tests in order to recovery copper and cobalt. This paper investigates the effect of potassium amyl xanthate (PAX) and sodium dibutyl dithiophosphate (DANA) performance on both copper and cobalt recovery in single roughing flotation.

As a second review topic, it delves into efficient processing for cobalt recovery, which is generally carried out by flotation, acid leaching, in addition to its recovery from secondary sources ...

The flotation process was used to recover cobalt and sulfur in the cobalt-bearing V?Ti tailings. The results showed that an optimized cobalt?sulfur concentrate with a cobalt grade of 2.08%, sulfur content of 36.12%, sulfur recovery of 85.79%, and cobalt recovery and 84.77% were ... and cobalt recovery and 84.77% were obtained by otation process ...

With sulphide ores, where cobalt is mostly hosted in carrollite, a Cu-Co sulphide, cobalt recovery through flotation tends to be correlated with the recovery of copper (see Nchanga in Fig. 6). But ...
