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.
Phosphate ore is an important raw material for manufacturing fertilizers and phosphorous chemical products. While most of the phosphate resources cannot be directly treated as feed stock due …
Phosphate ores are closely associated with gangue minerals and low-grade phosphate ore often contains high gangue minerals content. So flotation Processes is a common and more effective process for phosphate. The common phosphate flotation process mainly includes: direct positive flotation, single reverse flotation, reverse-direct …

Indian low grade iron ores mostly contain quartz, gibbsite, and clay as the major impurities.Depending upon the ore characteristics, in many instances froth flotation has to be used to recover the hematite and other iron oxides from the ground ores. In this context, the difference in silica and alumina content in low grade iron ores is brought to …
Phosphate flotation using mixed collectors has been proved to give greater selectivity and high recovery of apatite comparing with fatty acids, which require selective depressant to be effective.
Phosphorite is the largest existing source for commercial manufacturing of phosphate fertilizers and phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4) [68], [69], [70], [71].Nearly 90% of the world's phosphorite is expended by fertilizer industries whereas only 10% is utilized in other processes (Fig. 2) [29].Phosphorous in mineral phosphate ore presents as tricalcium …
In over half a century's practice in the iron ore industry, froth flotation has been established as an efficient method to remove impurities from iron ore. In this …
If the ore is igneous carbonatitic alkaline or ultra basic phosphate deposit, crushing, grinding, scrubbing, and flotation associated with other steps such as magnetic and/or gravity separation is ...
If the gangue mineral in an iron ore is predominantly quartz, reverse flotation is usually used in the cleaning stage to improve the concentrate grade. Figure 9.13 presents a typical flow sheet for processing an oxidized iron ore containing about 30% Fe using a combination of SLon magnetite separators and reverse flotation. The ore is mainly …
The aim of this paper is to provide a well-detailed, well-referenced source for the current status of iron ore flotation, and thus provide a useful guide to its future development and to...
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) …
