Abstract The foam flotation has a history of one hundred years,however the flotation separation of copper-lead-zinc sulfide has been a problem in mineral processing. Dichromate has been used as galena depressant for the copper-lead separation in traditional techniques majorly. But during this process a large amount of dichromate has been used, and created a lot of Cr6+ ions, leading to serious environment pollution. In this paper, the mixed concentrate of copper-lead and the green ore from Nanjing ore of lead-zinc-silver was studied.while copper-lead separation of laboratory test was achieved，we practiced in industrial production to promote the development of good process, to reduce the amount of potassium dichromate and the harm to the environment. A detailed process mineralogy has been tested on this ore, the results showed that the mineral structure was complex, oxidation rate and copper grade volatile and the composition of the ore was of complexity and diversity. Metallic minerals resided in the shape of galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and covellite, while silver ores were with various and complex occurrence, mainly resided in the form of silver tetrahedrite, argentite and silver telluride. Butt of the ore minerals embedded in complexity, disseminated fine-grained, single dissociation was low, they’re negative to the flotation separation of copper-lead-zinc minerals. According to the process mineralogical study results, we had a system tests on mineral separation. The results showed that using the new technology of depressed lead float copper with Z-200 as the copper collector to separation the copper and lead, the combination of lead depressant (potessium dichromate + CMC).We
