An example of testing the effect of pH on rougher flotation on pit samples and the results are presented. Since this is only an example, it needs reminding that not all ores will respond the same. Here, rougher flotation is most Selective at a pH of 9.5 as pH levels in the 9 to 10 range yielded 1% to 2% better recoveries. Mineralogy data also supports this and shows between 3% and 10% of the

In flotation, pH control is a vital method to control selective mineral separation. A standard depressant that is used is an Alkali. An Alkali is any substance that when mixed with Acid will neutralize each other and form a new chemical substance called a BASE. This is very important. The ore may be either alkaline or Acidic. To have a positive control over flotation, it is necessary to be

At high pH values (above 10.5), the forged media is passivated, so as the pH of the system drops the media corrosion rate increases and floods the system with the corrosion products, affecting flotation. As the high chrome media is much more inert, pH has less of an effect on copper flotation response.
