ABSTRACT
In this study the performance evaluation study of Georgia Madneuli Copper Ore flotation plant was performed using the data obtained from the detailed survey at the flotation circuit. The solids contents of the streams around the circuit were measured and the particle size distribution of the samples taken from the plant was determined. Mass balancing studies were performed using JKSimmet software. Mass balance results provided the flow rates and the chemical assays around the circuit. Therefore using the flow rates around each stream, the recovery of every unit in the circuit was calculated. The laboratory flotation tests were performed to obtain the optimum flotation conditions. For this purpose the flotation rate constants were determined for the different ore types processed at the circuit. Using the data obtained from plant and laboratory, a new circuit design was proposed.
