BACKGROUND: Mining of copper typically encompasses separating of sulfide ore and recovery of the purer metal particles from gangue minerals using froth flotation. The process follows crushing, grinding, and milling of the ore into fine particles, which are mixed with water into a slurry that is then fed into a flotation cell. An agitator at the bottom of the cell stirs the slurry – commonly called pulp – and suspends the particles in the mi
