There is 0.032% cobalt and 0.56% sulfur in the cobalt-bearing V–Ti tailings in the Panxi Region, with the metal sulfide minerals mainly including FeS2, Fe1−xS, Co3S4, and (Fe,Co)S2, and the gangue minerals mainly including aluminosilicate minerals. 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 obtained by flotation process of one roughing, three sweeping, and three cleaning under roughing conditions, which employed pulp pH of 8, grinding fineness of < 0.074 mm occupying 80%, flotation concentration of 30%, and dosages of butyl xanthate, copper sulfate, and pine oil of 100 g/t, 30 g/t, and 20 g/t, respectively. Optimized one sweeping, two sweeping, and three sweeping conditions used a pulp pH of 9, and dosages of butyl xanthate, copper sulfate, and pine oil of 50 g/t, 15 g/t, 10 g/t; 25 g/t, 7.5 g/t, 5 g/t; 20 g/t, 5 g/t, 5 g/t, respectively. Optimized one cleaning, two cleaning, and three cleaning condition dosages of sodium silicate of 200 g/t, 100 g/t, 50 g/t, respectively. Study of analysis and characterization of cobalt–sulfur concentrate by X-ray diffraction (XRD), automatic mineral analyzer (MLA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed that the main minerals in cobalt–sulfur concentrate are FeS2, Co3S4 and (Fe,Co)S2, of which FeS2 and (Fe,Co)S2 accounted for 65.64% and Co3S4 for 22.64%. Gangue minerals accounted for 11.72%. The element Co in (Fe,Co)S2 is closely related to pyrite in the form of isomorphism, and the flotability difference between cobalt and pyrite is very small, which makes it difficult to separate cobalt and sulfur. Cobalt–sulfur concentrate can be used as raw material for further separation of cobalt and sulfur in smelting by pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical methods.

Zinc Concentrate

In this study, factors influencing zinc oxide flotation are investigated. These factors include the dosages of sulfidizing reagent, the pH of the regulator and the activator, the use of sodium carbonate as the pH regulator and activator, the use of copper sulfate as the activator and the use of isoamyl xanthate as the collector. All of the above factors are essential to the effective recovery of zinc oxide. Flotation using mixed collectors (isoamyl xanthogenate + dithionphosphate) showed promising results. The ratio of the mixed collectors and the addition sequence of the mixed collectors were important in attaining a true mixed collector for zinc oxide flotation. In the closed circuit experiment, these agents helped to produce a zinc concentrate with 12.41% Zn, 80.03% recovery and 17.29% Zn in the tailings. The zinc concentrate with 12.41% Zn was used as a material for hydrometallurgy to collect zinc.

The enrichment of the low-grade-phosphate ore of the Tozeur-Nefta deposit was investigated using scrubbing-attrition, ball grinding and anionic/cationic reverse flotation in order to separate phosphate-rich particles from their gangue. The choice of the beneficiation process was based on the petrographic, mineralogical and chemical analyses. The petrographic and mineralogical studies have revealed the abundance of phosphatic (carbonate-fluorapatite-CFA) particles) coupled with carbonates (calcite, dolomite,) and silicates (quartz, illite, kaolonite) that constitute the (endo/exo) gangue of these ores. Chemical analysis has demonstrated that the raw phosphate sample contains low amounts of P2O5 (12.0%) and MgO (4.9%) and high amounts of CaO (40.7%) and SiO2 (20.5%). Microscopic observation/counting has shown that the release mesh occurs in the 71–315 μm size. Scrubbing-attrition, grinding and reverse flotation methods were applied to the +71μm fraction. Scrubbing-attrition tests of the 71–315 μm fraction have helped to improve the P2O5 grade to 15.5%. Ball-grinding tests were used to reduce the coarse fraction +315 μm. Grounded materials were sieved to 71–315 μm and combined with the scrubbed fraction in the flotation feed. Reverse-flotation tests of the phosphate-rich fraction (71–315 μm) have helped to improve the P2O5 grade to 27.1%, with a recovery rate of 92.4%.
