xanthate are involved in chalcopyrite flotation, it would be expected that chalcopyrite is as sensitive to cyanide additions as pyrite is. 3. Sulphide as depressant Very stable cupric sulphide (CuS) will occur due to chemisorption of sulphide ions. Oxidation potential of the solution will be lowered when sulphide ion is added.
In sulphide ores, the main copper sulphide minerals are chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite and carrollite, the latter being the main cobalt-bearing mineral (Dehaine et al., 2021b). Flotation is a common method to treat sulphide ore with, in general, higher recoveries for copper compared to cobalt (Dehaine et al., 2021b).

Keywords: flotation, process optimization, Taguchi orthogonal array, ANOVA. 1. Introduction Froth flotation is widely used for separating base metal sulphide minerals in complex ores. One of the major challenges faced by the flotation of these ores is the ever varying grade and mineralogy as the ore is exploited (Kabuda et. al., 2011).
The primary objective of this study was the creation of an optimized flotation procedure using a xanthate-based reagent scheme for a complex, base-metal sulphide ore. The goal of this optimization was to produce comparable grades and recoveries for valuable minerals that are achieved in the mining industry for a similar ore.

Only suplhide ores are concentrated by froth floatation process because pine oil selectively wets the sulphide and hence brings it to the froth. Pine oil or eucalyptus oil has tendency to wet metal sulphides. Thus sulphide ore is present in oily froth whereas gangue particles settle at the bottom,and hence fuller concentration is achieved.
