Copper, iron, and lead impurities are removed from molybdenum flotation concentrates by mixing the feed concentrates with a nonvolatile chloride salt, heating the mixture to a temperature of from about 200° to 350° C for a time sufficient to activate the lead impurities in the concentrates so that they can be leached therefrom during the subsequent leach step, and leaching copper, iron, …
The cycle of collective copper–molybdenum flotation includes the main flotation, control flotation, and three re-cleanings of concentrate. In the basic mode, the collective Cu–Mo concentrate was produced with the copper content of 16.25% with an extraction of 77.79% and with the molybdenum content of 0.45% with an extraction of 79.38%.

Molybdenum is removed as an Fe-Mo precipitate by proper addition of ferric sulfate. Heavy metals are lowered by lime treatment. Solid-liquid separation was achieved in both cases by flotation techniques. The Lectroclear electrocoagulation-electroflotation process was used to achieve the desired degree of metals removal.
The final molybdenite flotation concentrate passes through a Denver automatic sampler before entering a 9.1 m (30-ft) diameter thickener where it is thickened to approximately 50% solids. The thickener is fitted with a manual rake-lift and a froth ring around the perimeter.

It also produces copper cathodes, using the solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) process. ... 16c/lb higher than in 2020 due to higher gold production and the improved molybdenum price.
The Henderson molybdenum mine is a large underground molybdenum mine west of the town of Empire in Clear Creek County, Colorado, USA. The Henderson mine, which has produced molybdenum since 1976, is owned by Freeport-McMoRan. The Henderson mine is North America's largest producer of primary molybdenum. 2007 production was 40 million …
Feed to the molybdenum flotation circuit is a bulk concentrate of 27% Cu and 0.9% Mo at 55 to 60% -325 mesh produced with the use of sodium isopropyl xanthate, fuel oil, aeroprotnoter 3302, and frother MF-142. Sodium …

Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, ... E. Wood of Denver had developed his flotation process along the same lines in 1907, patented 1911, with some success on molybdenum ores. For the most part, however, these were isolated attempts without fanfare ...
At a flotation feed sizing of about 135µm P80, the liberation of the molybdenite, when assessed in two dimensions, was 56%. When compared to similar ores now being processed worldwide, this level of liberation is sufficient …

Separation of chalcopyrite from molybdenite is currently mainly carried out by flotation, but this process is costly because of the extensive use of inhibitors. This study briefly describes a 7.0T/100CGC low-temperature superconducting magnetic separator and discusses its separation principle as well as the effect of magnetic induction on chalcopyrite separation from …
Molybdenum disulfide (or moly) is an inorganic compound composed of molybdenum and sulfur.Its chemical formula is MoS 2.. The compound is classified as a transition metal dichalcogenide.It is a silvery black solid that occurs as the mineral molybdenite, the principal ore for molybdenum. MoS 2 is relatively unreactive. It is unaffected by dilute acids and oxygen.
Single-stage rougher flotation after ozone conditioning can provide a molybdenum concentrate at a recovery of more than 90% and a rougher concentrate grade higher than 20% Mo in some cases. Subsequent cleaner flotation with additional ozone conditioning results in relatively copper-free molybdenum concentrates containing as much as 52% Mo.
2.Copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate separation process For the flotation separation of copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate, it can usually be divided into 3 steps. ① Pretreatment. The main purpose of pretreating the copper-molybdenum mixed concentrate is to remove the residual collectors in the slurry in the most reasonable and effective way.
Molybdenum is a chemical element with the symbol Mo and atomic number 42 which is located in period 5 and group 6. The name is from Neo-Latin molybdaenum, which is based on Ancient Greek Μόλυβδος molybdos, meaning lead, since its ores were confused with lead ores. Molybdenum minerals have been known throughout history, but the element was …
The collective copper–molybdenum flotation cycle included basic flotation, control flotation and three concentrate purifications. The crushed ore in the form of a pulp with a density of 30%–35% solid was stirred in a flotation machine with flotation agents for a certain agitation time. The rotor speed was 1150 revolutions per minute.

This paper introduces the most commonly used molybdenum flotation flowsheet, together with the introduction of the flotation chemistry. Many different types of flotation cells are used in modern moly plants, and each type of flotation cell has its own unique advantages suited for particular ore and process conditions.
The bulk copper/molybdenum feed generally varies from 0.2% Mo to 1.0% Mo, and with traditional reagents the single-stage rougher flotation recovery of molybdenite varies between 40% and 90% at a concentrate grade of 5% to 10% Mo. With ozone conditioning for copper depression, however, improved separations appear to be possible, as demonstrated ...

③Molybdenum flotation and selection of impurities. When copper minerals are effectively suppressed, a certain amount of non-polar oil is added to the molybdenum floatation process to achieve the purpose of enhancing the flotation efficiency of molybdenite. In addition, in order to maximize the grade of molybdenum concentrate, it is necessary ...
A molybdenum (Mo) concentrate assaying 6.00% copper (Cu) and 19.01% Mo was magnetically sorted using a diamond-shaped steel rod medium mesh at a feed concentration of 20% and a pulp flow rate of 5 L/min from a Cu-Mo flotation concentrate with 88% of particles smaller than 23 μm using the separator.
The accompanying minerals are separated from the molybdenum using the so-called flotation process. After being subjected to this method, the concentrate contains on average approximately 85% molybdenite, which is roasted at 600 °C, resulting in technically pure molybdenum oxide (technical Mo oxide: TMO).
An effective flotation approach is proposed for improving the recovery of molybdenite fines from a finely-disseminated molybdenum ore. To maximize the flotation recovery of molybdenum, process mineralogy of raw ore, contrast tests, optimization of operation conditions and particle size analysis were systematically investigated.
In North America, FCX operates seven open-pit copper mines — Morenci, Bagdad, Safford, Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico; and two molybdenum mines — Henderson and Climax in Colorado. Molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver are also produced by certain of FCX's North America copper mines.
Molybdenite is one of the most flotable minerals, but its flotation mechanism has only recently been understood. An exhaustive analysis of flotation properties and optimum conditions for maximum recovery is presented. This is in association with the flotation properties of copper ores, from which it is often recovered as a byproduct.
