Abstract. Through the single mineral flotation test, the flotation behavior of magnesite and dolomite in the dodecylamine flotation system and the influence of the regulator Fe 3+ on the floatability of the two minerals were studied. Based on Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and contact angle test, the mechanism of Fe 3+ was studied.
The pure mineral test shows that a single reverse flotation process with SH and SS as regulators can achieve effective removal of silicon and part of the calcium at the same time. After the ...

This method can be classified in direct flotation when the iron oxides are floated or reverse flotation when the silica's gangue are floated, Houot (1983 Normally the reverse flotation with amine is used, Iwasaki (1983) and Numela & Iwasaki (1986): The amine is the only cationic collector that is used by industries in reverse iron ore flotation.
The reverse flotation process is widely used in iron ore, bauxite, phosphate ore, and kaolin ore. The main components of iron reverse flotation froth are quartz and a small amount of hematite and magnetic iron ore. The flow chart of the reverse flotation production process of an iron ore dressing plant is shown in Fig. 3 (a).
A new double reverse flotation process was used to beneficiate the Yichang region collophanite of Hubei Province, China. Its final concentrate yield is 67.37%, P2O5 grade is 32.17%, P2O5 recovery ...
Thus, goethite can be enriched in the flotation cell during the reverse flotation desilication process. Moreover, it should be noticed that the adsorption of SHM on goethite surfaces is stronger in acidic than in alkaline pulp, which is similarly reflected in the potential properties of hematite ( Carlson and Kawatra, 2013, Ramos-Tejada et al ...
Dolomite, a prominent calcium-bearing gangue mineral found in carbonate-type zinc oxide ores, poses a significant challenge for effective flotation separation alongside smithsonite due to their highly similar surface properties. The present study explores the potential of 2-(4,4-dimethylpentan-2-yl)-5,7,7-trimethyloctanoic acid (2 …
Mining operations usually provide ore of varying characteristics. At the Donganshan Sintering Plant, the ore is a low-grade, complex, hard-to-separate carbonate containing iron ore, and a two-step flotation circuit was previously developed to overcome the negative impact of the carbonates on the reverse flotation process. However, with …
Furthermore, according to the above procedures, at the site, the flotation temperature of the flotation circuit can be input in the range from 20 to 45 °C, and the flotation reagent system can be ...

Flotation is one of the most effective technologies for the up-gradation of coal fines of particle size below 0.5 mm because of the inherent hydrophobic nature of coal. Contrary to this, reverse flotation of coal in which coal particles are depressed and gangue particles floated, was developed as an alternative process to minimise the sulphur …
Thus, upgrading process development was required for increasing the grade of the ores to meet the demand of the iron and steel industries. The beneficiation was studied extensively 2 – 4 which consists of several stages, and anionic reverse flotation was the common route in the processing plants to produce the final concentrate 5 – 9.
