The ore in the concentrator of Anhui Taiping Mining Company cannot reach the expected flotation effect. In order to address the problem, the properties and particle size composition of raw ore were analyzed, and condition tests were conducted to rule out the influence of reagent system and flotation conditions on the flotation performance. Based on a test on pre-desliming of the raw ore sample before grinding and the concentrate from pretreatment, it is found that the secondary slime has a significantly superior floatability than the primary slime, and too much primary slime is a contributing factor in the finally poor flotation performance. And based on a test on comparison of desliming, it is found that after pre-desliming process, the flotation effect of ore can be obviously improved, and the concentrate can have its final recovery improved by around 10 percentage points compared to that without pre-desliming process, due to significantly decreased slime content in concentrate and middlings. It is concluded that pre-desliming process is an effective approach for improving flotation performance of such kind of copper-bearing ore with serious sliming.
