Old Bridge Copper Sulfate, Crystal (Feed), Mining Grade is used for as a floatation reagent in the recovery of zinc and lead in mining applications. The Sphalerite (ZnS) that is rejected during Lead - Zinc Ore mining operations. The lead flotation tails is then floated in a second flotation step after activation with copper sulfate. The copper ions replace zinc atoms on the sphalerite surface creating a pseudo-copper mineral surface coverage on the sphalerite which is then collected using copper flotation type collectors.
