It is well known that iron ore reverse flotation is carried out at a pH of approximately 10 [21]. Fig. 3a shows the relationship between EA concentration and flotation recovery at pH 10 in the absence of HPAM. As shown in Fig. 3a, the recovery of quartz was 87.24% and the recovery of hematite was 40.98% at an EA concentration of …

In this study, a fungal cellulase enzyme was applied to improve the selective separation of apatite from hematite during the reverse anionic flotation of a high-phosphorus iron ore. Bench-scale flotation tests were conducted on pure hematite and apatite minerals, their artificial mixture, and a high-phosphorus iron ore sample, using …

Reverse cationic flotation is the most used flotation method of iron ore beneficiation. Ether amines and starches are usually used as collectors and depressant, …

The recovery of iron from low-grade (31.6% Fe) Muro iron ore was investigated using reverse anionic flotation of quartz. Tests were performed to investigate the effect of pH, the effects of using distilled vs. tap water as the flotation medium and the effects of using cassava starch vs. dextrin for the depression of iron minerals.The optimum results were …

A Gemini surfactant EBAB was proposed as a flotation collector for reverse cationic flotation of iron ore in this paper. The flotation results of single minerals indicated that quartz presented excellent floatability while magnetite exhibited poor floatability by using Gemini surfactant EBAB or traditional surfactant DAC as a collector, and ...

Reverse flotation is a process used to separate particles from one another based on their ability to attach to air bubbles. In the case of iron ore beneficiation, it is used to reduce the amount ...

Due to gradual depletion of high-grade iron ores, there is a need to investigate the treatment of low-grade iron ores. Current procedures are time and cost intensive. Batch laboratory scale reverse cationic flotation was employed to concentrate low-grade Fe ore, found in fluorspar tails in the form of hematite. This study used two …

Iron ore flotation can be performed in two technical routes: direct flotation of iron oxides and reverse flotation of gangue minerals with depression of iron oxides. Nowadays, reverse flotation is the most commonly used route in iron ore flotation.

This is why reverse anionic flotation of iron ore using oleic acid or its soaps is usually performed in a strongly alkaline environment (i.e., above pH 11). Fuerstenau and Cummins [28] concluded that, when oleate was used as collector, the suitable pH value was between 11 and 12 in the flotation of quartz.

The reverse flotation of the iron ore with etheramine collector is significantly impacted when the iron-bearing silicates and the kaolinite are present in the silicates gangue mineral complex. This paper aims to propose a new amidoamine collector N-[3-(Dimethylamino)propyl]dodecanamide for iron ore reverse flotation with a …

Reverse flotation of silica from hematite is by far the most common strategy for the processing of iron ore containing silica gangue. In reverse flotation, quartz, the major …

XPS results confirmed the chemisorption of hematite by HPAM. Therefore, it could be determined that cheap synthetic HPAM has great potential in the reverse flotation of iron ore. If HPAM can be popularized in the reverse flotation of iron ore, much food can be saved. CRediT authorship contribution statement

The reverse flotation of the iron ore with etheramine collector is significantly impacted when the iron-bearing silicates and the kaolinite are present in the …

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 …

It seems that starch acts both as a depressant and as a flocculant in the reverse flotation of iron ore and fine hematite particle aggregation due to starch contributes to the success of the reverse flotation strategy. HRXCT in-situ experiments were used to visualize the flocculation sizes of three primary hematite particles. These …

Bacteria present in effluents from the process of iron ore flotation were isolated and identified in an attempt to identify the microorganisms ...

Another study carried out on beneficiation of Indian iron ore slimes used direct and reverse flotation techniques using oleic acid and dodecylamine as the collector respectively (Das et al., 2005). Taking into account the physico-chemical properties of the slimes, it is concluded that the samples need to be deslimed by hydrocycloning before ...

For iron ore reverse flotation in which gangue minerals such as quartz are floated while the iron minerals remain depressed in the slurry, the reagent system involves pH regulators, depressants ...

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). New studies have been …
