DetailsA Copper Flotation Flowsheet. Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial. The flowsheet in this study illustrates a typical 3,000 ton per day operation. In general most operations of this type have two or more …
DetailsMolybdenite is the most important molybdenum concentrate, which is mainly recovered as a by-product from porphyry copper deposits. Due to the low efficiency of purification processes such as flotation in the reduction of copper content of molybdenum concentrate to a standard level (i.e., less than 0.5 wt.%), further purification by a …

This is the present site of the large-scale, open pit operation at Bingham Canyon, which
DetailsPorphyry copper mineralization typically forms within 1–6 km of the paleosurface ( Seedorff et al., 2005; Singer et al., 2008) and is related to underlying plutons emplaced at 5–15 km paleodepth ( Sillitoe, 2010 ). Some deposits, such as Butte, formed at depths somewhat greater than 6 km and show no evidence of boiling ( Rusk et al., 2004 ).
