Reprocessing of tailing from Erdenet mine: Optimization of the P80 grind size for the flotation

Abstract

This thesis paper is carried out as an extended part of the “Adriana” project. The study of the possibility of reprocessing the tailings from Erdenet copper and molybdenum mining company by the mechanical flotation process is investigated. Regarding the historical data of the EMC LLC, the copper content in the tailing was above 0.1% due to operational activity and lack of technology in previous years.
