Copper Lead Zinc ores Danafloat
Therefore the standard Cu Pb Zn flotation practice involves an initial flotation of a Cu Pb bulk concentrate followed by two parallel circuit stages of copper lead separation and separate zinc flotation from the bulk flotation tails As described in the lead zinc ore processing section zinc sulphate and metabisulphide sphalerite and pyrite
