What is the unit cost of flotation?
Thread Content
Dear experts in smelting, let’s discuss your unit costs for flotation and compare which flotation technology is the best. The costs include: 1. Direct materials, 2. Fuel and power, 3. Direct labor, 4. Manufacturing overhead. Unit cost (yuan/ton of ore)
I’m in the wrong section. There’s a big difference between mineral processing and hydrometallurgy; the recovery rate in flotation is usually below 85%, while in metallurgy, a rate of over 85% is considered valuable
That’s true as well; concentration is the most crucial process in the metallurgical industry, as it involves converting low-grade ore into high-grade concentrate that meets the requirements for production.
Most pyrometallurgical plants use flotation as well; whether it’s wet or pyrometallurgical methods, it’s all part of metallurgical technology
