In the concentration of copper ores by flotation, the major loss of unrecovered mineral in the tailings is caused by the ineffective floata bility and recovery of the oxide copper minerals. That the industry would benefit greatly, ifmore of the oxide minerals were recovered, is evident when the large tonnages treated are considered.

From the above, it can be concluded that sulphidising flotation of oxide copper-cobalt ores with sodium hydrosulphide as sulphidising agent exhibits a good selectivity of copper and cobalt flotation towards the gangue minerals. On the other hand, the use of ammonium sulphide induces higher metals recoveries with very low selectivity.
