Flotation of a copper-cobalt sulphide ore: Quantitative …
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).

Copper Metallurgy
The main raw material is copper sulfide ore, and high-grade copper oxide ore can also be smelted in the pyrometallurgical process. The mining grade of copper sulfide is 0.3–2%, and the average mining grade is approximately 0.81%. The mined ore is crushed and pulverized. Then flotation will separate the copper sulfide concentrate.
