Upgrading of a lead-fluorspar ore by flotation: effects of …
Data obtained from bath flotation test indicated an improvement of lead recovery from 2.33 % to 15.03 %, decreasing Na2S to 100g/t and pH to 9 in the lead oxide circuit and a depression of P2O5 in the fluorspar flotation stage from 87 % to 91 % recovered in the tailings using 200 g/t of CaCl-CuSO4 as "depressant" of phosphates related minerals
