Abstract :
The Sarcheshmeh copper mine with an estimated reserves of 1200 million tons of Cu and Mo grades of 1.1 and 0.03 percents respectively and other valuable elements such as gold, silver, etc., remains supreme among all other mines in the world.
The investigation carried out, clearly shows that due to variations in recovery, feed and concentrate assays from one side and unoptimized parameters in the flotation circuits from other sides, there is a meaningful reduction in overall recovery. Therefore, the investigation have been carried out to optimize the important parameters and final results shows that it would be possible to increase the recovery from 86% (with copper grade of 29%)to 91 .5%(with copper grade of 34.5%).
The results obtained are not only encouraging but also form original and distinct contribution to the optimization of parameters In beneficiation of copper in general and that of Sarcheshmeh copper plants in particular, as discussed in an appropriate parts of the paper.
