G.W. DavenportExtractive Metallurgy of Copper - 2000
The ease of floatability of minerals decreases as the ionic character of the chemical bonding increases. The gradation between covalent and ionic bonding
is simply presented by the illustration below

Flotability
Sample from Ergani contains◦ 2.03% copper,◦ 0.15% cobalt◦ 3.73% sulfur
Recovery of copper and cobalt from this ore with hydrometallurgical treatment is not economical
The flotation of samples is done through a sulphurized medium containing sodium hydrosulphide as a sulphidising agent

a) too large a grind size (+100µm) causes Cu minerals to remain combined with or hidden in non-Cu minerals - preventing their flotation
b) too fine a grind size (-10µm) causes ‘slime’ formation. This slime coats the Cu minerals and prevents some of them from being floated.
Required size for Flotation: ~50-80µm

Diethyl dithiophosphate (DTP) was the preferred
collector rather than xanthate due to its better selectivity
for pyrite rejection in complex sulfide ores
Oxidation of Surface increase the recovery of Chalcocite yet not affect Chalcopyrite recovery in presence of clays.
The zeta potential of many gangue minerals in flotation including quartz, dolomite and clay minerals are negative in alkaline solutions.

INNOVATİONS...
Current practice uses slurry pHs in excess of 10, achieved by adding burnt lime (CaO)
Lime production is an energy-intensive process that releases large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Lime produces scaling in piping and equipment, requiring the use of descaling reagents.
Lime flocculates fine material and may occlude fine copper-sulfide particles.
Lime increases the viscosity of the mineral slurry and tends to hinder aeration, slowing flotation kinetics.
