  • the diesel phase is decanted off via a magnet in such a way that the magnetic components are retained.
  • the diesel phase with the non-magnetic constituents is subjected to filtration, and then the solid residue is dried. There are recovered 0.98 g of solid which consists of 98% Cu 2 S.
  • the content of Fe 3 O 4 is less than 0.01 g.
  • Example 7 Processing of natural copper ore from Pelambres (Chile)
  • the ore rock is comminuted dry in a hammer mill until 90% by weight of the ore in the fraction is less than 125 ⁇ m in size.
  • Magnetic Pigment 345 (BASF SE) is treated with 0.5% by weight of octylphosphonic acid in aqueous solution for 30 minutes at room temperature (RT). The solid is filtered off, washed until the conductivity of about 50 .mu.S with hot water (50 ° C) and dried at 80 ° C in a vacuum.
  • fraction A1 1 L separating material is passed through a series of stationary permanent magnets.
  • the spout is collected as fraction A1.
  • the portion held on the magnet is washed by moving the magnets with 1 L of water, collecting the discharged solid as fraction A2.
  • the fraction R retained on the magnet and fractions A1 and A2 are analyzed for Cu, Fe and Mo content.
  • 100 g of ore are conditioned in a vibrating mill (160 mL ZrO2 spheres, ⁇ 1.7-2.7 mm) with 60 mL water, 0.065 g potassium n-octyl xanthate and 0.04 g Shellsol D40 for 5 min.
  • a suspension of 3 g of hydrophobized magnetite in 3 g of isopropanol is added to the grinding vessel and conditioned again for 5 min.
  • the grinding suspension is separated from the grinding media, diluted to 1 L and subjected to the separation procedure (see above).
  • the fraction R (6.4 g) contains all the magnetite used and 92.4% of the copper and 86.1% of the molybdenum.
