Electrochemical pulp preparation method - reserve of efficiency increase in flotation processing of copper-nickel ores.

The results are presented of theoretical and practical investigations into the use of electrochemical technology in Cu-Ni flotation processes. The adsorbed xanthate and dithiophosphate products on chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite were studied under distinct polarisation conditions. Optimal electrochemical pulp treatment parameters were devised for Cu, Ni, pyrrhotite and other flotation cycles.
