Copper minerals are liberated from the associated minerals prior to the flotation process using a series of crushing and grinding steps to fine size (usually < 100 μm). The slurry that contains copper minerals is fed into the flotation circuit, which usually includes several flotation stages, depending on the ore characteristics, to achieve ...Web
Coarse particle flotation and bulk ore sorting are starting to make waves in the mineral processing industry. North American Mining takes a look at both technologies with the help of experts from three leading mineral processing OEMs. By Jonathan Rowland The mining industry is known for the relatively slow pace with which it adopts newWeb
The high selectivity of reverse cationic flotation without a depressant at pH 10 was observed when N-dodecylethylen-diamine was used for the flotation of single minerals, such as hematite, quartz, calcite and calamine acquired from the hematite–magnetite ore sample processing in the Qidashan processing plant in China.Web
Froth flotation is a physicochemical process that is used to separate fine mineral particles from aqueous suspensions by selective attachment of some types of minerals to air bubbles. Froth flotation is the most important mineral processing technology for the production of valuable mineral concentrates from which metals and …Web
As metal prices increase, lower-grade orebodies are becoming economically feasible. But, with lower grades come higher tonnages to sustain production. Processing these deposits requires ever finer grinding for mineral …Web

In order to increase the recovery of PGMs by flotation, it is necessary to optimise the liberation of the key minerals in which the platinum group elements (PGEs) are contained which include sulphides, arsenides, tellurides, and ferroalloys among others, while at the same time ensuring the optimal depression of gangue minerals. In order to …Web
The copper ore in Chilean copper porphyry deposits is often associated with molybdenum minerals. This copper–molybdenum (Cu–Mo) sulfide ore is generally mined from various locations in the mining site; thus, the mineral composition, oxidation degree, mineral particle size, and grade vary. Therefore, in the mining operation, it is common to …Web
The selective separation of individual mineral from complex ore is not possible without the use of depressant to inhibit flotation of gangue minerals or valuable minerals in sequential flotation. The use of two or more depressants is common in complex ore flotation, especially when selectivity problem exists [ 31 ].Web

Optimal mineral recovery in a flotation circuit depends on the capacity to adapt to metallurgical variability in the ore being processed. It is possible that some banks of flotation cells might not be recovering ore at their maximum levels due to air flow, feed, mechanical, hydraulic, reagent imbalances. Recognizing the need for a solution that ...Web
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of geological oxidation/alteration on the mineralogy and flotation performance of PPM "silicate reef" ore. Oxidised PPM ore is characterised by high contents of alteration minerals (talc, serpentine, chlorite), Fe-oxides/hydroxides and negligible BMS. The PGM were 59% …Web
2.6.1 Introduction. Sulfide ore flotation is a complex electrochemical system. Electron transfer not only occurs between the sulfide minerals and flotation reagent molecules, but it also happens among different sulfide minerals. Many sulfide minerals are narrow band gap semiconductors.Web
Flotation reagents are significant for modifying the interfacial characteristics of mineral grains to achieve the effective separation of minerals. Since the 1960s, when …Web
The results showed that the HF separator could upgrade the PGM ore with particles as coarse as +106 − 300 µm. For the optimised test, a reasonable Pt, Pd and Au recovery of 84% was achieved at ...Web
A variety of flotation routes have been developed to remove silica from iron minerals. The flotation routes of iron ore can be classified into five major groups, i.e. cationic flotation of iron oxide, cationic flotation of quartz, anionic flotation of iron oxide, anionic flotation of quartz, and combination[2]. Despite the variety of flotation ...Web
The flotation process involves crushing the ore to liberate separate grains of the various valuable minerals and gangue components, pulping the ore particles with water, and then selectively rendering hydrophobic the …Web

Mineral flotation is one of the most efficient ways to extract available components from ores, which has considerable research significance. The crystal …Web
These observations supported reverse flotation, targeting silicate minerals, as the best flotation route applicable to iron ore beneficiation over direct flotation, which targets hematite. This was …Web
The pH dependence on flotation of the major pure minerals of this ore was investigated at collector concentration 6 × 10 −5 M and frother (MIBC) dosage 8 mmol L −1. The Hallimond flotation results presented in Figure 6 confirm that it is possible to float the sulfides at the natural pH region, since the recovery of chalcopyrite is highest ...Web
The flotation properties and flotation of lead vanadate minerals from the ore were investigated poorly so far; some authors further reported conflicting information. First reports (starting in 1917) documented first attempts to float the lead vanadate minerals using the sulfidization method, which showed no success at all [ 35, 75, 76 ].Web
The flotation results were delineated by process mineralogy data and poor results were explained in terms of (i) complex nature of the ore and similarity in the …Web

Flotation of lithium micas and especially lepidolite is becoming a matter of increasing interest, as a result of the increased demand in lithium for the battery and other sectors of modern technology. Gangue minerals of lithium-mica deposits behave similarly during flotation, resulting in a difficult separation contrast.Web
4. Forming a mineral-laden froth on the surface of the ore pulp. 5. Removing the mineral-laden froth. Although grinding of the ore is not, strictly speaking, a part of flotation, it does have an important bearing on the process.
