The low and highly variable flotation recovery of molybdenum may be a result of several factors, all related to the properties of the molybdenite (MoS 2) mineral.Molybdenite crystal structure consists of hexagonal layers of molybdenum atoms between two layers of sulphur atoms (Fig. 2).Strong covalent bonds act within S–Mo–S …
In this study, a back propagation feed forward neural network, with two hidden layers (10:10:10:4), was applied to predict Cu grade and recovery in industrial flotation plant based on pH, chemical reagents dosage, size percentage of feed passing 75 μm, moisture content in feed, solid ratio, and grade of copper, molybdenum, and iron in feed.
When plants are grown under molybdenum deficiency, a number of varied phenotypes develop that hinder plant growth. Most of these phenotypes are associated with reduced activity of molybdoenzymes.
The concentrate of the copper processing plant in the form of copper-molybdenum concentrate is transferred to the molybdenum processing plant for molybdenite separation. The processing circuit of the molybdenum plant is shown in Fig. 2. The otation circuit of the plant consists of a single-row 8-cell rougher otation stage, 2.8 m3 mechani-

The potentials of more than -100 mV in the phases of copper concentration plants have created suitable conditions for the separation of copper …
Porphyry copper deposits (PCDs) are some of the most important sources of copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo). Typically, the separation and recovery of chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) and molybdenite (MoS2), the major Cu and Mo minerals, respectively, in PCDs are achieved by two-step flotation involving (1) bulk flotation to separate Cu–Mo …
To investigate the amenability of flotation columns in the plant especially for cleaning and recleaning stages, a column was designed, constructed, and installed at the Sarcheshmeh pilot plant.
The search for effective reagents for the flotation of non-ferrous metals from mineral raw materials is an actual problem. The article discusses the results of research on improving the technology of …
The grade of copper and molybdenum in the tailings of the flotation circuit of phases 1 and 2 of the copper concentration plants is about 0.08% and 0.006%, respectively. According to mineralogical studies for the feed of phases 1 and 2 of copper concentration, about 9% by weight of the input load to the circuits are metallic minerals, …
