1. Introduction. The flotation process is a separation technique primarily used in mineral processing for the recovery of minerals (Wills and Finch, 2016), that also finds application in other industrial processes such as wastewater treatment and paper recycling (Saththasivam et al., 2016, Vashisth et al., 2011).Separation of mineral particles by flotation takes advantage of …

Despite the recent success of the reverse anionic flotation of iron ores in the Anshan province in China, reverse cationic flotation remains the most popular flotation route used in the iron ore industry (Ma, 2012a)paring reverse anionic and cationic flotation is difficult because the processes are governed by the chemical, physical and metallurgical …
The use of column flotation was considered for the "reverse flotation" of iron ore, where the gangue (quartz) was recovered in the froth product. This use of the froth for carrying the gangue mineral rather than carrying the valuable concentrate significantly changes the operational requirements of the column. The objective of this work was to determine which of …
The Brucutu iron ore mine (Minas Gerais, Brazil) is Vale's largest iron producing operation achieving around 21 million tons per annum. Evaluation of flotation performance is of high importance as even small gains can lead …
no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.
The majority of iron ore flotation research, particularly with respect to chemical conditions such as reagent selection, has been carried out using mechanical flotation cells (Yuhua and Jianwei ...
ABSTRACT. Recently, beneficiation of iron from low-grade ores with high impurities has been a matter of discussion. Flotation is one of the most effective technologies for the upgrading of low-grade, finely grained iron ores.
flotation reagent and for detecting the presence of impurities. Using infrared spectrometry, this investigation character- ized the commercial amines available in the Brazilian mining-
It should be added that segregation of laterite ores prior the flotation process has shown some improvement in upgrading nickel. The segregation process relies on the addition of calcium chloride or sodium chloride and carbon allowing the formation of nickel and iron chlorides at temperatures between 900 and 1150 °C. Iwasaki et al., (1961) and Nagano et al., (1970) …
Frothing has not been played by specific frothers in cationic flotation of iron ore. ... The bench flotation tests were conducted in a Wemco machine equipped with a 3.9 L cell, using 1.5 kg iron ore aliquots in 50 % solids (w/w) pulps. The pulp was conditioned at 1250 rpm, initially with starch for 5 min and then with the collector and frother ...
Flotation use in mineral processing as a critical separation and selective recovery process was first documented in 1905, and the process and equipment have undergone significant changes since then to improve efficacy [].Today, froth flotation technology is widely used in the recovery of many minerals, including (but not limited to) coal, copper, gold, …
The reverse flotation of the iron ore with etheramine collector is significantly impacted when the iron-bearing silicates and the kaolinite are present in the silicates gangue mineral complex. This paper aims to propose a new amidoamine collector N-[3-(Dimethylamino)propyl]dodecanamide for iron ore reverse flotation with a potential of …
In this study, flotation tests in seawater were conducted to examine the effect of frother's dosage (MIBC) on the froth stability and flotation performance of low-grade phosphate ore. The stability of the froth layer was assessed by measuring the froth growth velocity and the froth maximum height at equilibrium.
The impact of the zeta potential and surface chemistry on flotation and deslime is also discussed. The aim of this paper is to provide a well-detailed, well-referenced source for …
Ether dodecyl amine and starch were used as a collector and depressant, respectively, as these are commonly employed in the cationic reverse flotation of iron ore …
iron ore resources have become a national priority. As per the recent national steel policy, our country will be producing about 110 million tons of steel per annum by 2020 requiring around 42 million tons of iron ore. The iron ore exports are projected to a level of 114 million tones and it amounts to total production of 300 million tons by 2020.
The Brucutu iron ore mine (Minas Gerais, Brazil) is Vale's largest iron producing operation achieving around 21 million tons per annum. Evaluation of flotation performance is of high importance as even small gains can lead to large monetary benefits. Cell-by-cell samples of the froth products, selected feed and pulp-products were analyzed for flow rate, particle size …
Higher neutralisation degrees enhance the collector solubility but impair the flotation performance. Most ether amines are currently supplied with neutralisation degrees in the range between 25% and 30%. The flotation performance of certain iron ore types is enhanced with the use of ether di-amines in combination with ether mono-amines.

Froth flotation is the most effective industrial method used to separate fine-grained minerals. The main problem of complex ore flotation is the negative effect of interactions among minerals in slurry, leading to variation in surface properties during separation. In this review, studies on the interactive effect among minerals on the flotation of iron ores, …
2. Flotation routes for iron ore The flotation of iron ore was first investigated in America starting in 1931 (Iwasaki 1983, 1999; Uwadiale 1992).
More ores are treated using froth flotation cells than by any other single machines or process. Non-metallics as well as metallics now being commercially recovered include gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, iron, manganese, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, graphite, phosphate, fluorspar, barite, feldspar and coal. Recent flotation research indicates that any …
Reverse flotation of iron ore is now drawing more attention in iron ore industry as an efficient beneficiation process (Ma et al., 2011, Filippov et al., 2010, Araujo et al., 2005, Houot, 1983). In reverse cationic flotation, silica and silicates are floated after depressing the iron oxide by suitable reagents such as starch, dextrin, and CMC.
