Abstract
A process for the depression of iron sulphides and other disposable elements in the mineral concentration by flotation and electrochemical reactor. The proposed invention represents a method based on the action of electrodes on the mineral, which can replace, compliment or minimise the consumption of chemical reagents, as well as improving the effect thereof.
Claims16
A process for the depression of sulphides in the flotation of mineral particles in liquid, comprising electrochemically depressing at least one sulphide through application of at least one electric potential applied to the at least one sulphide so as to electrochemically alter the at least one sulphide;
- and wherein the at least one electric potential is lower than an electric potential required for electrolysis of water.
