Chemical Identity
Scientific NameCopper Sulfate Pentahydrate
FormulaCuSO4·5H2O
Detailed Description
Mineral activators including copper sulfate and lead nitrate for enhanced recovery of zinc, iron, and other minerals in selective flotation circuits.
Application Method
Used to reactivate minerals that have been depressed or do not naturally float. Copper ions replace zinc ions on the sphalerite lattice, allowing xanthate adsorption.
Key Applications
Sphalerite Activation in Zinc Flotation
Pyrite Activation
Reactivation of Oxidized Minerals
Selective Flotation Circuits
