VIDEO ANSWER: Retribution is the act of payback. We usually talk about revenge or personal revenge when we talk about retribution. You have to get back at them. Criminal penalties do not just punish violators, but also discourage other people from

As shown in the summary tables, copper was, on average, 63% recovered into the copper concentrate grading 24% copper. The recovery and grade of unwanted lead and zinc was very low when compared to the other flowsheets. Lead in the feed was, on average, 36% recovered into a concentrate, grading 55%. Similar to the copper circuit, the grade and ...

With most ores containing lead and zinc sulphides, the production of a separate lead concentrate for shipment to the lead smelter, and of a separate zinc concentrate to ship to the zinc smelter, makes for a profitable operation. It only gravity concentration or bulk flotation were used the ore would probably prove unprofitable to treat.
The project will employ a two million tonnes per annum (2Mtpa) conventional differential sulphide flotation processing facility to produce a high-grade lead-silver concentrate and a zinc concentrate. Ore will be processed using conventional processes of crushing and grinding followed by separate lead and bulk zinc flotation.
The concentrate is pumped through a pre-cycloning stage to produce a fine material which undergoes conditioning and passes through a six-stage cleaner circuit to produce a final zinc-lead bulk concentrate. The …
The process has the ability to handle a wide range of materials such as bulk concentrates of lead and zinc and, providing the sinter contains 10% or more lead, recovers gold and silver in much the same way as a lead …
Separation of Lead-Zinc Bulk Concentrate. The way of depressing zinc to collect lead is almost used to the separation of Pb-Zn, which mainly includes the use of ZnSO 4, H 2 SO 3 and cyanide.

Concentration: As the air bubbles rise to the surface, they carry the lead and zinc minerals with them, forming a froth that can be skimmed off and collected as a concentrate. The remaining gangue material, which does not attach to the bubbles, settles to the bottom of the cell and is removed as tailings.
The high zinc concentration, however, supports the need for further treatment of the melt under reducing conditions. The zinc and lead concentrations in the whole sample, including both the slag and the magnetite particles, based on the ICP-OES chemical analysis, were 1.7 and 4.6 wt %, respectively.
