Abstract:In order to recover copper sulphides in weak alkaline solution , the floatation performance of gold-bearing minerals and the collector PZO have been studied .T he result show s that PZO has better foam ability than 2# oil and MIBC ,and also has better selectivity to copper and gold minerals than both ammo-nium dibutyl dithiophosphate and butyl xanthate .When the raw ore contained 1 .23, Cu ,1 .98g/t Au , 26 .15g/t Ag and 12 .68, S ,the flow sheet of “Cu-S bulk flotation-Cu-S separation”was adopted by using combined collector of butyl xanthate and PZO ,the lime dosage could reduce from 6000g/t (pH=11 .2) to 3000g/t (pH=9 .8) ,which creates conditions for improving gold floatation performance .a copper concen-trate assaying 23 .02, Cu with a recovery of 92 .65, ,assaying 20 .32g/t Au with a recovery of 50 .88, , assaying 267 .35g/t with a recovery of 56 .50, could be obtained , and a sulfur concentrate assaying 41 .52, could also be obtained during the Cu-S separation process .
