Study on the Recovery of Sulfur from Multi-Metals Tailings

A beneficiation experimental research is conducted on sulfur-containing 18.17% multi-metals tailings. On the basis of the traditional mineral processing technology, it introduces X-51, a new type sulfide mineral activator, to instead of copper sulfate. Eventually, the sulfur concentrate grade is 47.51% with the recovery of 92.11%. The effectively recovery of the sulfur is creating good economic benefits and environmental benefit.
