Flotation properties of arsenopyrite are similar to the flotation properties of pyrite. Specifically, in the alkaline conditions (pH value of pulp 7-11) and in the presence of xanthates as collectors, arsenopyrite can easily pass into concentrate. Therefore, if the ore contains arsenopyrite as supporting

Pyrite roasting, an alternative to J sulphur burning
Sulphuric acid plant based on roasting of pyrite concentrate The technology for the roasting of fine flotation pyrite concentrates is a stationary fluid bed for small throughputs or a circulating fluid bed for high throuphputs up to approx. 1800 t/d. . With a heat recovery system, this roasting plant

flotation tailings and can be readily recovered by flotation with different flotation reagents. When amyl xanthate is used, 85% of chalcopyrite can be recovered with a copper grade of 14.5% in a single-stage froth flotation. The chalcopyrite flotation concentrate can be sent back to chloride leaching circuits.
