1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles. Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while ...

The history of iron ore flotation started with direct flotation of iron oxides using anionic collectors such as petroleum sulphonate, fatty acids and hydroxamates. In …

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 …

Froth feature extraction plays a significant role in the monitoring and control of the flotation process. Image-based soft sensors have received a great deal of interest in the flotation process due to their low-cost and non-intrusive properties. This study proposes data-driven soft sensor models based on froth images to predict the key …

Introduction. Froth flotation is the most important process to produce superconcentrates from low-grade oxidized iron ores. The efficiency of the process …

For reverse cationic flotation, the pre-determined quantity of iron sample was transferred to the laboratory Denver flotation cell and water was added to the cell to maintain the pulp density at the level of 20% solids by weight. Flotation tests were carried out in an Agitair-LA500 Machine using 2.3 L capacity cell.

In the cationic reverse flotation of iron ore at alkaline pH (9 to 10.5), gelatinized starch with NaOH is used as an iron ore depressant (Silva et al., 2019). In this process, a desliming step must be applied to remove particles below 10 µm, which can result in large mineral losses (Gonçalves and Lima, 2020).
