Abstract: As a pre-treatment method of refractory gold ore, carbonaceous matter (C-matter) flotation was investigated with multi-stage flotation by rougher, scavenger, and cleaner stages. Different dosages of kerosene and MIBC (4-Methyl-2-pentanol) were applied and the optimum dosage was selected by testing in each …

Natural graphite ores are usually upgraded by froth flotation. However, complex processes with multistage grinding and flotation are required to achieve decent liberation and separation of graphite and …

In this work, a novel water-in-oil type kerosene emulsion was prepared, and its flotation performance as a collector on an amorphous graphite ore was examined and compared to pristine kerosene.

Amorphous graphite ore has a high grade (generally containing 60% to 80% carbon), but the particles of graphite ore are extremely small and often embedded in clay, making flotation separation impossible. Therefore, many graphite mines directly pulverize and grind the mined raw ore to sell graphite powder products. ... Collector: …

As a result, particles with the same charge repel each other and remain in a stable dispersion state. The collector kerosene acts on the mineral–water interface of flake graphite. The ore particles can be more firmly attached to the bubbles and float up by improving the hydrophobicity of graphite minerals [39].
