Past, Present, and Future of Copper Mine Tailings …
The metallurgical technique called flotation began to be implemented in mining projects in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (1860–1905), which allowed the separation of metal sulphide minerals from gangue mineralogy or copper mine tailings. The flotation, also called physical–chemical concentration of minerals, allowed …

The aim of this paper is to show results found combining HIC with the modified flotation, 3PC, to recover valuable gold particles present in fresh tailings from copper–gold flotation circuits. Flotation tailings, fresh or damped, are huge in many countries and recovery of these misplaced fine materials might be important economically.

Abstract This research aimed at recovering metals retained in the tailings from the flotation of copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) ores conducted at the New Concentrator in Kipushi (NCK). Metals retention in the tailings (0.73% Cu and 0.37% Co) increased due to the removal of the gravity separation section from the processing circuit together with …

New approaches for extracting and recovering metals from mine tailings
Mine tailings may contain base transition metals, such as iron, copper, nickel and zinc, in relatively high concentrations, and also occasionally precious metals such as gold and silver, in minerals (and native metals) that have been not been separated by froth flotation (e.g. Bryan et al., 2006, Ahmadi et al., 2015).
