On-Site Flotation Reagent Optimization for Copper-Gold Ore in Eritrea

Y&X Beijing Technology Co., Ltd. has supplied flotation collectors to a copper-gold mine in Asmara, Eritrea. The mine has purchased and continues to use Y&X flotation reagents in its mineral processing operations.

To further improve the flotation process and evaluate reagent performance under actual operating conditions, Y&X technical personnel traveled to the mine site to conduct laboratory flotation testing and reagent optimization.

For this on-site project, Y&X provided small-scale laboratory flotation equipment and supporting flotation reagents.

The laboratory equipment was used to conduct flotation experiments on copper-gold mixed ore samples, providing a basis for evaluating reagent performance and adjusting the flotation conditions.

During the site visit, Y&X technicians carried out laboratory flotation tests to investigate the flotation response of the copper-gold mixed ore.

The optimization work focused on:

• Evaluating the performance of the existing flotation collector
• Investigating reagent dosage and combination schemes
• Comparing flotation performance under different test conditions
• Identifying potential improvements to the reagent system

The project reflects Y&X's ongoing cooperation with the mine. In addition to supplying flotation collectors, Y&X provides laboratory testing, on-site technical assistance, and reagent optimization support.

By combining laboratory flotation equipment, reagent products, and technical services, Y&X helps mining customers evaluate and improve their mineral processing operations.
