The earliest attempts to float iron oxide minerals involved the use of anionic collectors such as oleic acid or sodium oleate. Such a process was used at the Cuyuna Range plant which processed manganiferous iron ore in 1931. One of the successful applications of anionic flotation process was the iron ore flotation plant at Marquette county ...
The flotation behavior of beryl and spodumene (typical silicate minerals) was studied at wet-grinding conditions with different grinding mediums, with dodecylamine or sodium oleate as the collector. The mechanism of potential influence of the grinding medium to the flotation behavior was investigated through measuring zeta potential of pure minerals, micro …

Many efforts have been devoted to deal with these difficulties in order to develop robust processes to improve the phosphate recovery and enrichment efficiency [14–19]. Currently, there are two major processes adopted by the phosphate industry to enrich phosphate minerals by froth flotation: Direct flotation process and reverse flotation process.

Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water …
Flotation separates valuable minerals (copper, lead, zinc, iron, and phosphate too) from the contaminating minerals in the ore (sand in this case). In the direct flotation process the valuable mineral is coated with a special hydrocarbon (fatty acid) that makes coated particles behave the same as a waxed car.
Phosphate rock contains various gangue minerals including silicates and carbonates which need to be reduced in content in order to meet the requirements of the phosphate industry. Froth flotation has become an integral part of phosphate concentration process. In this study, double reverse flotation was applied to recover apatite from phosphate …

The flotation process characterization is typically based on the mineral properties and related to the feed particle size. Laboratory testing allows for the evaluation of the batch flotation kinetics, while plant surveys are carried …
For the beneficiation of low-grade iron ores containing hematite, magnetite, goethite, and siderite, a reverse flotation process is commonly used to remove silicate or aluminosilicate gangue minerals such as quartz, amphiboles, feldspars, clays, etc. [57]. Cationic collectors (amines) are used to float the gangue minerals, and the iron oxide ...

Based on a mineralogical analysis, the main gangue minerals identified in the ore sample are quartz and illite, both of which are silicate minerals. Sodium silicate is an effective depressant for these silicate minerals. Figure 6d shows the effect of sodium silicate dosage on the recovery of rare earth elements. When the dosage of sodium ...

The flotation of fine minerals can require dispersants and a large dosage of collectors. Meanwhile, reagents with agglomeration effects can improve flotation of fine minerals. There is a great loss of fine ilmenite (generally −19 μm) in hydro-cyclone in Panzhihua, which cannot be effectively recovered.

Flotation stands out as a successful and extensively employed method for separating valuable mineral particles from waste rock. The efficiency of this process is subjected to the distinct physicochemical attributes exhibited by various minerals. However, the complex combination of multiple sub-processes within flotation presents challenges in controlling this …
Flotation reagents are chemicals used in the mineral flotation process that can modify mineral surface properties and improve or reduce the hydrophobicity of minerals, and thereby, the pulp properties and froth stability are more conducive to the separation of minerals [3,4,5,6,7].They are usually divided into the activator, collector, depressant, frother, pH …
Similar effects were demonstrated and reported previously by Filippov and co-workers when an aliphatic isoalcohol reagent was used in combination with anionic collectors for calcium minerals flotation (Filippov et al., 2006, Filippova et al., 2014, Filippov et al., 2019) and with cationic collectors for reverse iron ore and silicates flotation ...
The function of promoters in flotation is to increase the floatability of minerals in order to effect their separation from the undesirable mineral fraction, commonly known as gangue.
There are two economic sources of lithium; brines and hard rock ores. The majority of the global lithium production, greater than 60%, is produced from brines while lithium ores accounted for the remaining production (Ebensperger et al., 2005).Table 1 summarises the world's major lithium producers from ores and brines, and the total reserves. The lithium …
