Abstract

Using the separation methods, the tetrahedrite concentrate, which contains multiple elements, was obtained from the tetrahedrite ore.
We focused mainly on copper, but also on iron and antimony. Ore also contains undesirable elements such as arsenic or mercury. The
aim of this paper is an efficient separation of the utility components. Gravity separation and flotation was used. The first processing
step was gravity separation on shaking table the second step was froth flotation in flotation column.
