Fluorine-bearing minerals can be suppressed during flotation, but the association or encapsulation of fluorine minerals with copper sulfides leads to significant losses of copper or gold. The hydrometallurgical process was able to reduce the fluorine level in a chalcocite/bornite concentrate from 0.22 to 0.02%, although some copper and …

Dear Colleagues, It is well-known that froth flotation has been one of the most important methods for separating different minerals based on the difference in their wettability in relation to appropriate circuit design, optimization, and dynamic process control as well as the true selection of reagent type, particle size, pH, etc.

With the depleting reserves of high-grade iron ore in the world, froth flotation has become increasingly important to process intermediate- and low-grade iron ore in an attempt to meet the rapidly growing demand on the international market. In over half a century's practice in the iron ore industry, froth flotation has been established as an …

Low-cost and environment-friendly green froth flotation modifiers of plant origin, such as guar gum, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and starch, have been used in flotation of some sulfide and non-sulfide minerals. Certain green modifiers may be used as dispersants, flocculants, depressants, or activators. The functions of green modifiers in …

The best PVC separation (90% recovery) from the other three plastics was accomplished through flotation at 40 °C at 200 and 240 rpm in a small (0.35 L) and medium (3.0 L) glass flotation cells, respectively. Ozonation was conducted for 10 min by introducing ozone gas (90–150 mg-O 3 L −1) at 50 mL min −1 flow rate.

Froth stability is a major issue in froth flotation, and therefore, the factors affecting froth stability are being extensively researched [5], [6], [7]. A comprehensive review on froth and froth stability in flotation has been published more than two decades ago by Subrahmanyam and Forssberg [8]. However, there is no recent review available.

Flotation stands out as a successful and extensively employed method for separating valuable mineral particles from waste rock. The efficiency of this process is subjected to the distinct physicochemical attributes exhibited by various minerals. However, the complex combination of multiple sub-processes within flotation presents challenges …

Pyrrhotite floats best in acid circuits. The pH range for flotation for gold sulfide ores containing pyrite and arsenopyrite is generally between 7 and 9. Flotation may be carried out at higher pH values of 9 to 10, since this favours the depression of talc minerals and avoids the use of expensive gangue depressants.

Froth flotation is the most versatile process in mineral beneficiation, extensively used to concentrate a wide range of minerals. This process comprises mixtures of more or less liberated minerals, water, air, and various chemical reagents, involving a series of intermingled multiphase physical and chemical phenomena in the aqueous environment. …
