These three minerals were then separated. Mica floated after conditioning with 600 g/t of AERO 3030C at pH 3 (1st product). The pH was then reduced to 2.5 by adding H 2 SO 4 and HF and then another conditioning process was carried out using 600 g/t of AERO 3030C collector to enable the flotation of feldspar-rich particles (2nd product). All ...
The sequence in which minerals crystallize from a magma is known as the Bowen reaction series (Figure 3.10 and Who was Bowen). Of the common silicate minerals, olivine normally crystallizes first, at between 1200° and 1300°C. As the temperature drops, and assuming that some silica remains in the magma, the olivine crystals react (combine ...

1 Wash, filter, and grind the granite ore into smaller pieces. 2 Put the ground ore into a tank containing a dilute cyanide solution and add zinc. The chemical reaction between a dilute cyanide solution and zinc will separate the gold from the ore. 3 Use a filter press to remove the gold from the solution.
An amine collector that floats off and removes mica is used in the first flotation step. Also, sulfuric acid, pine oil, and fuel oil are added. After the feed is dewatered in a classifier or …
The process generally includes alkaline scrubbing, high-density fatty acid conditioning, and flotation at pH 7.5–8.5 with 500–750 g/t fatty acid collector. ... and mica together at high pH (up to 11.5). The …
Fatty acids (a distilled tall oil containing approximately 91% oleic and linoleic acids, 6% rosin acid and 3% unsaponifiables) are used as the collector of iron oxides, the dosage of which is usually in the range of 0.45-0.67 kg/t [4, 5]. Conditioning was reported to be of critical importance for the direct flotation process.
1. Flotation separation of mica minerals and silica sand. Mica dissociates a large number of anions O2- and F- with extremely low zero electric points. After being exposed to the layered structure, they can be recovered with cationic collectors in a wide pH range (pH=2-13). The pH range of feldspar in the cation collection system (pH=4-11) is ...
