Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ore dressing, and in particular to a flotation separation method for copper-molybdenum mixed flotation concentrate. Background Art

[0002] Flotation is a common process for separating copper and molybdenum. Usually, mixed flotation is carried out first by taking advantage of the good floatability of copper and molybdenum sulfides, and then copper and molybdenum separation operations are carried out.
