200tpd Copper Selection Production Line In Mexico Share

Ore type: Sulfide ore (chalcopyrite, bornite)

Ore grade: The grade of copper ore (e.g. 0.5%~2% Cu) directly affects the beneficiation process and economic benefits.
 
Ore hardness: Affects the equipment selection and energy consumption in the crushing and grinding stages.
 
Impurity composition: The presence of impurities such as sulfur, arsenic, lead, and zinc may require additional processing steps.

200tpd Copper Selection Production Line Process design​

 

To build a copper concentrate plant with a daily processing capacity of 200 tons in Mexico, key factors such as ore properties, process flow, equipment selection, investment cost, and local policies and regulations need to be fully considered; the equipment used includes jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, ball mill, etc.

 

The above process is for reference only. If you need further support, please contact us. We will arrange professional technicians to connect with the project and provide a detailed process flow chart free of charge.

 

1. Crushing and screening

 

Coarse crushing: jaw crusher (processing particle size 300-500mm → 100-150mm).
Medium and fine crushing: cone crusher or impact crusher (discharge particle size ≤30mm).
Screening: vibrating screener to ensure qualified particle size.
 

2. Grinding and classification

 

Ball mill: grind the ore to a fineness suitable for flotation (such as -200 mesh accounting for 60%~80%).
Spiral classifier/hydrocyclone: ​​closed-loop circulation to control grinding fineness.
 

3. Flotation

 

Coarse selection-scavenging selection-fine selection: separate copper concentrate through a flotation machine (such as XCF/KYF type).
Agent system: collector (such as xanthate), frother (pine oil), adjuster (lime to control pH value), etc.
 

4. Dehydration

 

Thickener: Preliminary concentration of slurry.

Filter (filter press or vacuum filter): produces copper concentrate (water content ≤ 15%).

1. Efficiency and profitability advantages

Recovery rate leads the industry

    • Adopting the "pre-waste disposal + flotation enhancement" process, the comprehensive copper recovery rate is ≥88% (measured data of Mexican high-sulfur ore), which is 5%-8% higher than the traditional process.

    • Collaborative recovery of associated gold and silver: Through reagent optimization, the recovery rate of gold and silver is simultaneously increased to 65%-75%, and an additional income of 5%-10%.

Stable concentrate quality

    • The copper grade of the concentrate is 25%-30% (the standard for the Mexican smelter is ≥20%), and the water content is ≤12%, which directly meets the trade requirements without secondary processing.

2. Cost control advantages

Investment savings

    • Equipment selection accurately matches the hardness of Mexican ore (Bond work index 12-15kWh/t), "two-stage crushing + single-stage ball milling" design, saving 25% of infrastructure investment and 35% of energy consumption compared with traditional three-stage crushing.

    • Modular layout: supports gradual expansion from 200 tons/day to 500 tons/day to avoid repeated investment.

Operation cost optimization

    • Reagent compounding technology (yellow medicine/black medicine + customized inhibitor), reagent cost per ton of ore ≤ US$1.2 (industry average US$1.5-2).

    • Tailings dry discharge + water return circulation: water resource utilization rate ≥90%, wastewater treatment cost reduced by 60%

3. Flexibility and reliability

Wide adaptability of ores

    • Compatible with sulfide ores (chalcopyrite, bornite) and oxide ores (malachite), and special solutions are designed for complex ores such as high sulfur (S content 15%-30%) and high arsenic (As ≤ 0.5%).

Risk-resistant design

    • "Diesel + photovoltaic" hybrid power supply system: to cope with fluctuations in the Mexican power grid, ensuring an annual operating rate of ≥ 95%.

    • ​​Intelligent monitoring system: German Siemens PLC control + vibration sensor, real-time warning of equipment abnormalities, reducing the failure rate by 40%.

 FAQ about copper ore dressing

 

1. What is the difference between copper sulfide ore and copper oxide ore dressing? ​​

• Sulfide ore: direct flotation, xanthate collectors are highly efficient (recovery rate 85%-92%);

• Oxide ore: requires sulfidation treatment (addition of sodium sulfide), or leaching-extraction-electrodeposition (L-SX-EW) process.

 

2. How to improve copper flotation recovery rate?

• Grinding fineness: -200 mesh accounts for ≥75% (too low will result in insufficient dissociation);

• Reagent system: xanthate and black medicine compound (to improve the selectivity of high-sulfur ore);

• pH value: lime adjusted to 8.5-10.5 (inhibit pyrite);

• Flotation machine aeration volume: 0.15-0.25m³/m²·min (bubble stability).

 

3. How to deal with arsenic/high-sulfur copper ore?​​

• High-sulfur ore: Prioritize copper flotation (sulfur suppression agent + low alkalinity process), or separate copper and sulfur after mixed flotation;

• Arsenic-containing ore: oxidation method (ozone/hydrogen peroxide oxidation) or adsorption inhibition (zinc sulfate + cyanide).

 

4. Common faults of flotation machines and solutions? ​​

• Too thick foam layer: Reduce the amount of frother or increase the amount of aeration.

• Impeller wear: Check the gap regularly (standard value 5-8mm) and replace the tungsten carbide-coated impeller.
