22.4: Beneficiation. Beneficiation is any process which removes the gangue minerals from ore to produce a higher grade product, and a waste stream. Beneficiation may involve physical or chemical processes. Often, as in the case of panning for gold, the desired ore or metal is denser than the gangue. The latter can be suspended in a stream …

5.1.2 Copper Beneficiation and Processing The two major processes employed in the United States to recover copper from ores are classified as either (1) pyrometallurgical methods (copper processing), or (2) hydrometallurgical methods (copper beneficiation). Pyrometallurgical methods consist of smelting technology, and are widely used.

Copper-Gold-Lead-Silver-Zinc Beneficiation Process. Beneficiation includes crushing, grinding, gravity concentration and flotation concentration. Beneficiation is followed by processing activities such as smelting and refining. The beneficiation process begins with milling, which is followed by flotation for further beneficiation.

Beneficiation of copper ores is done almost exclusively by selective froth flotation. Flotation entails first attaching fine copper mineral particles to bubbles rising through an ore–water pulp and, second, collecting the copper minerals at the top of the pulp as a briefly stable mineral–water–air froth.
