Abstract: Presently, the separation of molybdenum ore mostly adopts conventional flotation which has defects of long flowsheet, complex process and low efficiency. Cyclonic static micro bubble flotation column was used in the test on two Henan molybdenum ores of different types, and good separation performances were achieved in both cases. The successful practice of column separation has made a beneficial exploration in molybdenum separation process.

Key words: Molybdenite, Column separation, Cyclonic static micro bubble flotation column
