An Overview of Calcite Recovery by Flotation

In general, precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is used as a mineral filler in paper industries; while natural calcite (CaCO3) ore is also suitable for industrial use if it is a finely ground high-grade material. Naturally, calcite is found in the form of high- or low-grade ores and it is one of the most widely distributed industrial minerals on the earth's …

Effect mechanism of carbonaceous materials on the flotation …

However, only a few studies have been conducted on the properties of carbonaceous materials in lead–zinc ore flotation. The properties and adsorption performance of carbonaceous materials remain unclear. In this study, the closed-circuit flotation of bench-scale experiments shows that carbon pre-flotation can improve the …

Role of sodium carbonate in scheelite flotation – A multi-faceted

Abstract. Even though sodium carbonate is a reagent frequently used in flotation, its role is mostly described as a buffering pH modifier and a pulp dispersant. In the case of scheelite flotation, literature has shown that sodium carbonate improves flotation performance but little is said as to selectivity against gangue minerals.

Froth Flotation of Chalcopyrite/Pyrite Ore: A Critical Review

Then, flotation can occur if metal oxides and hydroxides are solubilized in the medium. However, excessive oxidation ... carbonates, cyanides, or sulfites, as discussed ... reaching a recovery close to 5% at pH = 9. CMC can depress pyrite, but at high doses (500 ppm), achieving a recovery of 20% at pH = 9. 200 ppm of CMC at pH 10 …

carbonates. Flotation separation of the phosphate from a carbonate gangue has been performed successfully on igne­ ous phosphate minerals. However, it cannot be easily applied to the sedimentary phosphates because: • their structural complexity and the simultaneous pres­ ence of different amorphous and porous phosphate types and

However, starch could depress the flotation of hematite. Flotation recovery of 98.10% for quartz could be achieved, when N23 concentration was 43.33 mg/L and starch concentration was 16.67 mg/L at ...

Flotation separation of carbonate from sulfide minerals, I: flotation …

Reverse flotation of carbonate minerals from refractory gold-bearing sulfide ores requires the flotation of the carbonate minerals (calcite, dolomite, siderite, etc.) while depressing sulfide minerals and native gold. The flotation of carbonates can be achieved by anionic oxyhydryl collectors and this has been well established.

Effects of Surfactin, a Promising Carbonate Ore Collector, on …

In carbonate flotation, oleate has been used for many years as a collector in industrial scale. Compared to sulfide minerals, the flotation of carbonate minerals requires more collector consumption and has lower yield and selectivity. It has been previously shown that surfactin provides higher yields in smaller amounts than oleate in …

Lime use and functionality in sulphide mineral flotation: A …

Highlights. •. Lime plays a critical role in flotation by controlling pulp chemistry and collector adsorption. •. Lime is the most economical and commonly used reagent for pH control in flotation. •. Ca 2+ ions in lime can enhance depression of minerals and flotation selectivity in a variety of ores. •.

Minerals | Free Full-Text | Talc Flotation—An Overview

Talc is a naturally hydrophobic gangue mineral in most sulfide ores. However, talc has vast applications in the cosmetics, paper, and paint industries due to its high chemical stability, and its demand continues to grow. Since flotation is the most effective beneficiation technique for upgrading sulfides, the high hydrophobicity of talc …

Improved depression of talc in chalcopyrite flotation using …

Artificial mixed ore flotation tests were performed in a flotation apparatus (Fig. 2). The device can dramatically expand the collision probability of valuable minerals and bubbles, and significantly reduce the nonselective entrainment of fine-grained gangue minerals. Hence, the flotation recovery rate of minerals can be more accurately …

They reported that at an optimum condition, 90% of Zn can be extracted from a carbonate type Pb-Zn flotation tailing with malic acid, which was very close to the 90.6% extraction that was achieved with citric acid at its optimum condition. The use of malic acid also showed a higher leaching selectivity against Fe compared to using citric acid.
