Several attempts have been done, aiming to recover copper from flotation tailings through mainly acid leaching [17], and froth flotation [4].Using the latter, the recovery of copper through reprocessing of tailings has been studied both in the laboratory and on the pilot scale with an emphasis on the concentration of reagents and a pre-economic analysis [18].
