Cobalt (Co) is a transition metal featuring unique physical properties which makes its use
critical for many high-tech applications such as high strength materials, magnets and most …

As high-grade ore deposits become depleted, there is an increasing demand to process
marginal low-grade ores with complex metallurgical challenges. Orebodies can be rich in …

Abstract Flotation tailings from South Africa's platinum group minerals (PGM) represent
complex polymetallic orebodies comprising a low-grade platinum group elements (PGE) …

Pentlandite and pyrrhotite are ubiquitously symbiotically aggregated with each other, and
the galvanic interaction between them inevitably occurs in flotation process. However, there …

The extraction of nickel (Ni) from sulfide resources commences with flotation to produce a
concentrate which is then smelted to produce a nickel-enriched phase called matte, and …

Many different types of pyrite have been observed in the mineral processing industry,
varying in texture, chemical composition, electrochemical properties, and flotation response …

The presence of silicate minerals is a common occurrence in various ore types, including
nickel sulphide ores. These silicate minerals dilute the grade of flotation concentrates …

The efficient separation of pentlandite from serpentine remains a challenging issue in the
processing of nickel sulfide ores. In this study, selective magnetic coating-magnetic …

Although the role of texture has been increasingly recognised as a geometallurgical
indicator of ore characteristics and their variability, the ability to appropriately quantify and …

Pyrite, the most abundant sulfide mineral in base-metal deposits, presents significant
challenges in mineral processing due to its deleterious effects when not properly managed …
