The amount of flotation reagent is a crucial factor that affects the flotation production index [5], [6].

Despite the recent success of the reverse anionic flotation of iron ores in the Anshan province in China, reverse cationic flotation remains the most popular flotation route used in the iron ore industry (Ma, 2012a)paring reverse anionic and cationic flotation is difficult because the processes are governed by the chemical, physical and …

Attention to these four points can greatly improve the flotation efficiency of tin ore. Firstly, please select the appropriate collector and adjust its dosage according to the characteristics of the ore. Second, control the pH value and add appropriate activators and inhibitors. Third, ensure proper pulp density and stirring speed.

The two major aluminum-containing minerals in iron ore are kaolinite (Al 2 (Si 2 O 5 ) (OH) 4) and gibbsite (Al (OH) 3 ). Some progress has been made in using flotation to separate kaolinite from hematite. High levels of phosphorus in iron ore attract a penalty because this makes steel brittle.

A ROM ore dressing test was done at CBA's preparation plant at Itamarati de Minas. Its circuit includes scrubbing and screening operations, as well as a desliming and gravitic separation circuit to recover bauxite from fines. ... Reagents in iron ore flotation. Minerals Engineering, 18 (2005), pp. 219-224. View PDF View article View in Scopus ...

Generally, iron ore with a grade of less than 50% needs to go through a dressing process before it can be sent to smelting for utilization. After the mined ore goes through the processes of crushing and grinding, magnetic separation, flotation and gravity separation, the high-grade concentrate is obtained.At present, the iron ore resources …

Out of several reagents used in iron ore reverse flotation, depressants play a crucial role in selectively making the iron oxides hydrophilic and prohibiting them from reporting to the gangue-rich froth phase.
