The flotation studies of hematite and quartz minerals have indicated that quartz is better floated than hematite in the presence of soluble starch with dodecylamine as the collector. The flotation of natural iron ore indicated that the maximum iron recovery can be achieved by using soluble starch as the depressant.
The flotation has been successfully applied to process the iron ore for the particle size (Ps) from 10 µm up to 150 µm. The presence of the slimes (Ps < 10 µm) is harmful on the reverse flotation of quartz, so they are usually prior removed by hydrocyclones.
Based on published iron ore flotation studies, some conditions were kept constant: pulp with 45% solids, conditioning time of 5 min with starch and 3 min with collector. The collection time of the floated was fixed at 3 min. ... Selective flotation of quartz from hematite by amide-amine: fundamental studies. Mining, Metall Explor, 38 …
In this paper, several studies describing the processing of iron ores via direct and reverse cationic and anionic flotation are reviewed. The objective of this review was to present and identify the effects of different flotation conditions on removal of specific impurities in iron ore such as quartz, alumina, phosphorous, and sulfur.
The harmful effect of slime on quartz reverse flotation has been known since the beginning of iron ore flotation operations. The removal of slimes using hydrocyclones was introduced by United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) [].The high consumption of reagents and the difficulty to remove ultrafine quartz and the high …
The reverse cationic flotation route widely used in the iron ore industry is less selective for alumina–hematite separation than for quartz–hematite separation. Pradip et al. (1993) studied the flotation of an alumina-rich Indian iron ore and reported that only 60% of the iron could be recovered in reducing the aluminum content from 11.6% ...
Flotation is undoubtedly the most important and versatile mineral processing technique (Wills and Napier-Munn 2006; Lima et al. 2005; Weng et al. 2013).Quartz is the main gangue component in almost all the metal oxide ores, especially the iron-ore deposits (Araujo et al. 2005; Huang et al. 2014; Sahoo et al. 2015; Guo et al. 2017b; Zhao et al. …
The Vale iron ore samples used in this work include the feed and underflow of a cyclone. The samples were characterized with XRF (X-ray fluorescence) and the content of the major components is shown in Table 1.X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the samples found that in both samples iron mainly occurs in the form of hematite, with …
To explore the flotation feasibility and flotation law of iron minerals from amphibole-type iron oxide ore with full-size minerals, a systematic study on the flotation behaviors of single minerals hematite, quartz, and amphibole was carried out with the anionic reverse flotation system. The effects of collectors, depressants, activators, and …
Special Issue Information. Dear Colleagues, Iron ore flotation is a key technique to concentrate intermediate-low-grade ore, in order to reach the market requirements for higher-grade concentrates of iron. The presence of some impurities in addition to quartz in iron ore, aluminium silicates, and minerals containing phosphorus …
The performance of the reverse flotation of iron ores is largely governed by the interactions between collectors and minerals, which are complex. A common task in …
The flotation studies of BMQ ore containing 47% Fe, 34.5% SiO 2, and 1.15% Al 2 O 3 using oleic acid and dodecylamine as the collectors have indicated that the ore is more favorable to cationic collector in comparison to anionic one. In anionic flotation, the maximum iron that could be achieved is limited to 57% Fe only.
When introduced to the iron ore reverse flotation systems, starch can not only render the iron oxide surface hydrophilic as a depressant, but also flocculate the fine iron oxide to form larger ...
Flotation is the most effective solution, both technologically and economically, when upgrading iron concentrates. Research regarding iron ore flotation began in 1931, demonstrating that reverse cationic flotation is a very efficient method for beneficiating oxidised iron ores. This method can also be applied to reduce the silica …
Removal of quartz from iron ore was accomplished industrially via an anionic reverse flotation technique. However, in that kind of flotation, the interaction of the flotation reagents with the components of the feed sample makes the flotation a complicated system. ...

Nogueira et al. (2022) related the occurrence of synergistic effects of a binary mixture 1:1 (ethermonoamine:etherdiamine) on quartz floatability on microflotation tests and on silica reduction on bench flotation of iron ore. In the results presented in Table 3, the etheramine mixtures dead to an average silica reduction of 7 % and 34 %, in the ...
