An integrated approach for the mitigation of acid rock drainage (ARD) associated with pyrrhotite in nickel deposits

This project identified the possibility of manipulating rejection mechanisms in flotation to produce passivated pyrrhotite tailings. Passivation enables surface coating of the sulfide thus inhibiting attack by oxidising agents. Promotion of passivation of pyrrhotite during flotation to produce un-re...
