Chemisorbed fatty acids become more important at pH above the iso-electric point (IEP) of iron oxides, but their concentration rapidly declines due the relatively weak …
Flotation of oxidized zinc using fatty acids. The recovery of single mineral flotation is appropriated using oleic acid at pH around 10.0 [3], [15]. The negative zeta potential increases due to adsorption of oleic anions on the mineral surface when smithsonite is treated with oleic acid. As it has been revealed by FTIR analyses, the …
This paper reviews the industrial practices and fundamental research surrounding iron ore flotation. The advantages and disadvantages of direct flotation, cationic reverse flotation, and anionic ...
As early as the 1930's many attempts were made to solve the problem of selective flotation of chromite ores. In early attempts mainly anionic collectors such as fatty acids were used [4, 5]. Morawitz studied the effect of pH regulators on pure chromite minerals [6]. He found that all amines with HCl and NaOH gave satisfactory
I preferably use a fatty acid with three double bonds such as an ammonium salt of linoleic or ammonium linoleate. Beneficial results are derived if a frother is used, and petroleum aliphatic acids, steam distilled pine oil or cresylic acid may be used for this purpose. ... 2 Der ton of solution. A bulk flotation of the chromite is obtained in ...

1.5 to 5.5 with a long chain fatty acid collector as reported by Havens (1946). The selectivity of the process is enhanced by adding a soluble fluoride compound such as hydrofluoric acid, sodium fluoride or sodium silicofluoride in the flotation medium. The flotation process is typically conducted by adding 0.5 to 5.0 pounds fatty acid, 0.1
Micro-flotation experiments, zeta potential, and FTIR spectroscopy analysis were done using the same reagent concentration. The results of the experiments showed that: Four depressants under study have had no …
The high selectivity in the flotation xenotime with fatty acid salts observed in the present work was also noticed for apatite flotation with the use of fatty acid collectors, in studies carried ...
Dextrin has a strong depressing effect in the alkaline pH range depressing chromite's flotation by 55% at pH 10–12, while cyclodextrin activates chromite's …
Abstract. Few of the metals or minerals required by modern civilisation are mined naturally pure and ready to use. Instead they occur in complex aggregates of up to twenty different minerals of which only one or two will be of value. There are some two hundred of these 'value' minerals amoung the several thousand minerals that go to form ...
In this study, unsaturated C 18 fatty acids have shown the flotation efficiency of hematite ore compared to saturated fatty acids. Because hematite recovery and hydrophilicity of BioS tend to increase with the fatty acid unsaturation degree. ... chromite, and talc (Liu et al. 2006). In this study, the depressive action of …
The modifying action of carboxymethyl cellulose, fluorosilic acid, ethylene diamine-tetraacetic acid, dextrin and cyclodex- trin during chromite flotation by SO is presented in Fig. 4.
Phosphate flotation has been used by industry for more than a half century but still faces many technical challenges. Such challenges include not only the selection of the chemical reagents but the characteristics of the feed itself. This paper deals with the investigation of feed characteristics and how these characteristics affect the flotation …
The results of the locked flotation tests indicated that the middlings would not build up 35 aqueous pulp of such an ore in the Presence of hydrofluoric acid, and a long-chain fatty acid at a pulp acidity of between pH 1.5 and pH 5.5, and separating a chromium-containing froth as a concentrate.
In the first method chromite ore which has been deslimed is subjected to flotation at a pH of 1.5 to 5.5 with a long chain fatty acid collector as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 2,412,217. The selectivity of the process is enhanced by the inclusion of a soluble fluoride ion containing compound such as hydrofluoric acid, sodium fluoride or sodium ...

In this study a concentrate containing 61.5% was obtained from such an ore with a modest addition of hydroxamate. Secondly, the spiral tailings used in this study are
The flotation separation of magnesite from calcium-containing minerals has always been a difficult subject in minerals processing. This work studied the inhibition effects of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), sodium lignosulphonate, polyaspartic acid (PASP) and sodium silicate on flotation behaviors of magnesite, dolomite and calcite, providing …

Chromite is an important strategic mineral usually associated with other gangue minerals, mainly silicates. A good knowledge of the flotation behaviour of chromite and the establishment of conditions for its selective separation from the gangue minerals might help the future exploitation of chromite deposits. In this paper, the floatability of …
