Reuse of process water in the flotation of sulfide ores has crucial importance for environmental sustainability and improved process economy. However, the chemistry of process water may be a critical subject for the flotation efficiency as the dissolved ion concentration increases with water reuse. In this study, the effects of water reuse on the …

Abstract The article describes the non-frothing flotation data of monomineral fractions of tennantite, chalcopyrite and pyrite, measurements of electrokinetic potential of the phases, and the concentration control of butyl xanthate, sulfhydryl collector M-TF and hydrogen peroxide. The measurements of the electrokinetic potential and intensity of the …

In addition, the residence period is shorter than the overall amount of time a bubble spends in the pulp. For these reasons, less concentration of graphite particles is caused. pH, promoter addition, feed size, impeller speed, viscosity, and collector dose are the major factors [44, 52, 53].The lack of spargers in mechanical cells gives them a …

Flotation has been used by mineral and chemical engineers for the separation and concentration of aqueous suspensions or solutions of a variety of minerals, coal, precipitates, inorganic waste constituents, effluents, and even microorganisms and proteins. It is estimated that more than two billion tons of various ores and coal are annually ...

The opposite happens with decreasing frother concentration and gas hold-up. Therefore, as frother concentration-changes occur below the CCC, there is a significant change in flotation kinetics. The x-axis (gas hold-up) can be thought of as the 'gas pedal' in flotation and will reflect the combined influences of both frother and air rate.

FIELD: mining engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves conditioning gold-carbonaceous ores with depressant as a polycondensation product of sodium naphthalenesulfonate and formaldehyde. After conditioning ores to produce the gold-containing flotation concentrate, copper sulfate is sequentially introduced as an activator, at the end of contact time butyl …

The effect of dissolution pretreatment of spodumene using NaOH and Na 2 CO 3 was investigated by micro-flotation test, contact angle measurement, XPS, ICP and AFM imaging. The results showed that NaOH treatment activated the spodumene flotation whilst Na 2 CO 3 showed little depression effect. NaOH had more significant activating …

Collector concentration, flotation and conditioning times are other parameters, having a higher impact on these flotation results. Considering the above results and the species distribution diagram of amine, it could be stated that below pH 8, sulphide-amine interaction is due to electrostatic Coulombic interaction, whereas above …

ABSTRACT. Apatite (Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 F 2) is the most important phosphate mineral, and flotation is the main beneficiation method to separate apatite from its major gangue mineral calcite (CaCO 3).Till date, fatty acids and their salts have been widely used as collectors in the apatite/calcite flotation separation due to their low cost and strong …

Since flotation is the most effective beneficiation technique for upgrading sulfides, the high hydrophobicity of talc has made its selective separation challenging. ... The existence of talc in the sulfide flotation concentration as a MgO-containing gangue can cause problems in the downstream metallurgical processes [8,9,19,20]. In detail, talc ...

The flotation tests were performed in self-aerated Denver flotation machine with a 2.3 L cell and agitation speed was adjusted to 900 rpm. The pH of pulp (5–11.5) and collector type in the flotation cell were changed according to the experimental requirements. In the lead flotation, certain amounts of depressants (zinc sulphate 400 g/ton and ...

For example, a sulfide ore might float very well at 90 to 120 microns, but not at 50 or 150 microns. The research to date has identified two main reasons for the upper limit on floatable particle sizes. First, coarser particles tend not to have as much surface mineralization to attract bubbles.
