Due to the limitation of freshwater sources and increasingly stringent disposal standards [13, 74, 79], the minerals industry has attempted to increase water use efficiency, reduce freshwater utilization, and minimize water discharge, or seek alternatives to fresh water [57, 59, 78, 84, 101].It is widely accepted that flotation is the most …

Single-stage rougher flotation after ozone conditioning can provide a molybdenum concentrate at a recovery of more than 90% and a rougher concentrate grade higher than 20% Mo in some cases. Subsequent cleaner flotation with additional ozone condi tioning results in relatively copper-free molybdenum concentrates containing as much as 52% Mo.

Flotation is commonly referred as the counterpart to sedimentation. The principle of flotation lies in attaching the suspended particles to air bubbles, thus driving them to the surface of the water against gravity for subsequent removal (Palaniandy et al. 2017; Kyzas and Matis 2018).For this, the suspended particles are subjected to a …
