This work was conducted at the University of Zambia mineral dressing laboratories based at School of Mines. Further work involved carrying out surface tension, bubble...
Download PDF ↓The Nchanga and Konkola ores have substantial amounts of cobalt in the form of Carrollite (CUC02S4) and Cobaltiferous pyrite ((Co,Fe),S2). These minerals are found in association with copper minerals such as chalcopyrite (CuFeSz), Bomite (CusFeS4) and Chalcocite (CujS). However, the recoveries of...
