The presence of clays in copper minerals has a significant negative impact during their processing, leading to low recoveries the flotation process. In saline environments such as seawater, contribute an increase operational problems caused by salinity, decrease grade concentrate, alteration rheology mineral pulp, selectivity process, reduction quality clarified water, and excessive corrosion metallic components. This study explores electroflotation kaolinite montmorillonite NaCl solutions using modified Hallimond tube coupled with Ti Gr. 2 electrodes for bubble generation via water electrolysis, analysis these applying superposition model. results show recovery close 72.68% kaolinite, 88.44% montmorillonite, 67.36% mixtures both clays. helps reduce corrosive effects from 0.069 A/m2 0.0073 clay.
