The selective flotation of pentlandite from a nickel ore

In this research a procedure has been devised which rejects much of the pyrrhotite while maintaining the necessary level of talc rejection. In batch tests on an ore containing pentlandite, pyrrhotite, pyrite and talc the procedure rejected 57% of the iron sulphides and 98% of the talc and recovered 81% of the nickel in a concentrate assaying 16.5% Ni.
