Flotation tailings are termed as the rejected product of the flotation process, and according to the reported literature data, 90–95% of plant tailings are produced from the flotation process [31,32,33]. Flotation tailings mainly contain gangue minerals, while a significant amount of valuable copper sulfide particles is also contained.

A Copper Flotation Flowsheet. Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial.
