A group of 4th year students are conducting a flotation test

for the mine/mill design project course. They need to
determine a grade-recovery curve based on the flotation
results in order to size their flotation plant. None of them
are very swift with computers so they ask you to do the
calculations and graph the data for them while they go out on
a Pub Crawl. In return they promise that you won't get "Rose-
c. Bowled". Here is their data:
Product Cumulative Weight %Cu
Float Time
(sec) (g)
Concentrate 1 30 14.3 27.12
Concentrate 2 60 10.2 22.38
Concentrate 3 120 18.3 15.26
Concentrate 4 300 32.6 5.45
Tailing 413.1 0.07
Assayed Head Sample = 2.10%Cu
Initial Weight = 500.0
Using these data, prepare a table that shows Weight%, Assay,
Units of Copper, %Recovery of Copper, Cumulative Units of Copper,
Cumulative %Recovery to Concentrate, and Cumulative Grade of
Concentrate.
Plot a graph of the Cumulative Grade of Concentrate versus the
Cumulative %Recovery of Copper.
