Froth flotation is a commonly used method that involves adding chemicals to the ore slurry to selectively separate copper minerals from other minerals. Smelting involves melting the concentrate to remove impurities and produce copper matte, which is then further refined through electro-refining to produce high-grade copper cathodes.

The ore is crushed in the copper froth flotation process in order to separate the copper minerals from the gangue minerals. After that, the resulting slurry is floated, a process in which air bubbles are added to the slurry and the copper particles cling to the bubbles, rising to the surface as froth.

For example, Patra et al. carried out flotation tests using a copper ore in the absence and presence of two fibers, namely, fibrous Ni ore (1–6 wt.% chrysotile fibers) and nylon fibers (1–2 wt.%), and found that a viscous pulp was the key underlying reason for the poor flotation recovery of valuable mineral. High viscosity of pulp was ...
