Concn. of low-grade molybdenite ore was carried out by bulk flotation of Cu and Mo sulfides after ascertaining the theor. liberation particle size at 100 mesh. Statistically designed expts. were carried out using variables of (1) K Et xanthate collector concn. (2) lime concn. for depressing pyrite flotation (3) 2 pH levels. The effects and possible interactions were studied. A composite design of the orthogonal type was adopted, and regression equations were developed for recovery of chalcopyrite and molybdenite, and selectivity index. Response contours were plotted as 2-dimensional representations, and the effect of 2 parameters on the responses depicted at a time for a fixed value of the 3rd variable was detd. The path of steepest ascent was used to optimize response of the selectivity index. The best index of 31.02 was obtained at 0.09 kg K Et xanthate/ton, 0.6732 kg lime/ton, and pH 8.86.
