Oct 01, 2009· The oxidation rate of arsenic minerals and non-arsenic minerals has been compared in a series of papers to explain the selective flotation of arsenic minerals from other sulfide minerals. According to Iwasaki et al. (1988), nickel arsenide (Ni 11 As 8) is much more easily oxidized than pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite and cubanite.

A mineral separation process includes wet-grinding the ore to liberation of minerals, oxidizing the slurry using air, hydrogen peroxide or other oxidants and floating the valuable minerals at a pH between about 9.0 and 10.0 with a xanthate as collector, and a combination of a polyamine and a sulfur containing species as depressants for arsenide minerals.

2. How To Remove Arsenic In Gold Ore By Gold Flotation Separation? Arsenic not only has a great impact on the quality of gold concentrate ore, but also pollutes the environment. Arsenic in gold ore is generally found in arsenopyrite, the gangue mineral, and it is more closely disseminated with gold minerals and is more difficult to separate.

natural mineral formations that contain arsenic in quantities sufficient to make feasible extraction of the element and its compounds. More than 120 arsenic-bearing minerals are known, the most common of which include arsenopyrite, FeAsS, containing 46 percent As; loellingite (leucopyrite), FeAs 2 (72.8 percent); realgar, AsS (70.1 percent); and orpiment, As 2 S 3 (61.0 percent).
The arsenic removal was maximized in the presence of mixed activators (Na 2 S+CuSO 4) at low pH. The effect of activator type and pulp pH on the arsenic removal efficiency was attributed to the coupled role of the sulphidization of arsenic oxides (e.g., AS 2 O 3, AS 4 O 6 and AS 2 O 5), the activation of sulphidized minerals, and the formation ...
