Effect of operating parameters on desulphurization of mine tailings by froth flotation.
Journal of Environmental Management 2012 April 31
A site-specific study is carried out to assess the suitability of froth flotation for desulphurization of reactive mine tailings at the Musselwhite Mine, Northern Ontario, Canada, to prevent acid mine drainage (AMD). The results from pilot scale flotation tests on an Outokumpu flotation unit are presented, which confirm that froth flotation is effective to reduce sulphide contents of tailings. The factors affecting the treatment effectiveness, such as the froth depth, air flow rate, pulp density and impeller speed are studied. The sulphur recoveries after 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 12 min of flotation time are fitted to a second-order kinetic model. It is found that the second order rate constant, k(2) is negatively correlated with the froth depth and positively correlated with the air flow rate. Based on the data presented in this study; the maximum recovery of total sulphur was achieved when the operational parameters were set to the froth depth of 5 cm, air flow rate 125 L/min, impeller speed 1300 rpm and pulp density 35%.
