Abstract. The conventional method for producing lead (Pb) from its sulphide concentrates is the lead blast furnace. Although this pyrometallurgical process is efficient, it has a major disadvantage in that it produces excessive SO 2 and Pb emissions. Due to the recent trends towards more environmental protection and more stringent in-plant …

Flotation of Lead-Zinc Sulfide Ore
