Abstract

The paper presents the results of laboratory studies on the flotation of copper-molybdenum ore from the Kazakhstani deposit using a combined reagent. A combination of butyl xanthate, a noninogenic collecting agent with a thioamide group – TC-100 thionocarbamate and higher aerofloat (Reafloat series) was used as a combined flotation reagent. The ratio of the components of the combined reagent was, in %: 85:15:5. The combined flotation reagent was preliminarily passed through a T18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX disperser before flotation to obtain a reagent microemulsion. The use of a microemulsion of a combined reagent increases the extraction of copper into the coppermolybdenum concentrate by 3,69 %, the extraction of molybdenum by 6,05 %.
