The fatty acid flotation of a difficult-to-float igneous phosphate ore (26.2% P 2 O 5, 15.4% Fe 2 O 3) was investigated through batch flotation tests in the presence of soda ash.The poor flotation of this otherwise high quality ore was attributed to very high concentrations of calcium and sulfate ions (about 1000 and 2000 mg/L, respectively) …

1. Introduction. Froth flotation is a commonly used mineral separation technique that has been applied in various mining operations. The process relies on the differential hydrophobicity of mineral fractions within a given ore [1].Specifically, it aims to selectively hydrophobize a targeted mineral fraction while maintaining the hydrophilic …

Fig. 1 The flotation test procedure. Experiments consisted of chromite flotation and after that 3 cleaning steps. Chemicals used in experiments were A825 (Cynamid Pertroleum Sulphonate) as collectors, DF250 as frother and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to ensure pH value desired. Pulps were conditioned 5 min and 1 hour at pH value of 1, 2 and 3.

The general flotation method was developed by Havens. Deslimed chromite ore was floated at pH 1.5 to 5.5 using a long-chain fatty-acid collector and soluble fluoride ions as a silicate depressant. The Havens method was later modified slightly to permit flotation without preliminary desliming.

4. Experimental procedure4.1. Preparation of flotation feed for preliminary testing. Samples of 2 kg SG laterite previously crushed to all passing 2 mm were slurried using 2 L of Adelaide tap water and stirred at 1200 rpm in a container for 10 min.After this time the slurry was wet screened at 600 μm, with the fines allowed to settle overnight …

Flotation process, patented in the year 1906, was origin-ally developed for mineral industry to recover values from high grade tailings of gravity seperation plants. This technology has acclaimed importance as a versatile process for the beneficiation of vast variety of sulphide mine-rals. Due to flexibility of the process and remarkable …

The successful flotation of Cu-Mo ores typically requires depression of pyrite at high pH values achieved with the use of lime. However, in seawater, flotation …

Combining its extensive flotation circuit analysis capabilities with patented DV™ (Deep Vane) mechanism, the RCS™ flotation cells have the potential to significantly cut operating costs and boost …

The comminution challenge is due to the high density of the chromite (SG ∼ 5) relative to the silicates (SG ∼ 2.6–3) in the ore which leads to inefficiencies in classification, causing a high circulating load of fine chromite particles. ... IsaMill product was more irregular than ball mill product and showed higher Cr 2 O 3 entrainment in ...

A Flowsheet to recovery gold from sulfide ores. There are many arrangements and combinations using flotation in conjunction with treatment of gold ores. The two gold process flowsheets shown, with some variations, are probably the most commonly used. In Gold Flowsheet No. 1 the ore is ground in water to such a size as to …

In the present work an intense bibliographic search is developed, with updated information on the microscopic fundamentals that govern the behavior of flotation operations of chalcopyrite, the main copper mineral in nature. In particular, the effect caused by the presence of pyrite, a non-valuable mineral, but challenging for the …

Ore beneficiation is an indispensable part of the processing of mineral resources and occupies an important position in the process of mineral production [ 1 ]. …

Most of the world's nickel is extracted from the mineral pentlandite, (Ni, Fe)9S8, which frequently oc-curs in ores containing predominantly pyrrhotite and various non-sulRdes, some of which contain magne-sium (Table 1). The nickel content in such sul Rde ores is generally low (0.2}3%) and varies from place to place in the same deposit.

Sesbania gum (SG), a kind of plant gum, has been used as a depressant on the flotation of talc-containing scheelite ore and copper-nickel minerals with higher recovery and selectivity than SS and guar gum (Zhao et al., 2019a). However, no references could be found on its depressive action in the flotation separation of …

The typical flowsheet used for treatment of dolomitic ores is shown in Figure 19.8. Usually, the scavenger tailings are deslimed and the sand fraction is retreated in a scalp copper flotation stage. When the ore is deslimed before flotation, a large amount of fine copper is lost in the slime fraction. Table 19.9.

Flotation performance of sulphide ores also declines if the temperature is too high. For example, it has been observed at the Neves-Corvo zinc plant (Portugal) that the highest losses were recorded during traditionally hot summers with slurry temperatures after milling reaching above 50°C [ Citation 132 ].

Based on the single-mineral flotation experiment, the selective depression of SG on chlorite and specularite was further verified by the artificial mixed ore flotation experiment, and the results are displayed in Table 1.
