Pressure filtration of a fine-grained chalcopyrite concentrate

• How material properties, cake characteristics and operating parameters affect the filtration rate and the final moisture content was investigated by laboratory test with a concentrate from a complex sulfide ore. Porosity and pore size distribution were measured by automatic image analysis. With optimum conditions, a moisture content of 5. 5% was achieved. A copper/lead concentrate floated from a complex sulfide ore at the Stekenjokk concentrator of Boliden Mineral AB, Sweden was used.
