During the flotation process, the surface of fluorite and calcite is prone to partial dissolution, which makes the surface ions convert to each other. Moreover, the pH value of the slurry has a greater impact on the conversion of the two minerals. Therefore, the flotation separation of fluorite and calcite poses a great challenge.

Fig. 8 illustrates selective flotation of scheelite and fluorite. Fluorite could barely be collected by the Pb-BHA complexes, which is favorable for separating scheelite from fluorite. The Pb-BHA complexes can be used to replace the Petrov's process and simplify the flotation process. Download : Download high-res image (103KB)

Only jig can deal with the coarse fluorite ore. Fluorite flotation equipment includes crusher, ball mill, flotation machine etc. Jaw crusher is the primary crusher. It is used in fluorite coarse crushing process. Cone crusher is the fine crushing machine used in fluorite processing plant. After fluorite crushing process, fluorite is less than 15mm.

To address the complex composition of fluorite tailings, flotation technology is commonly used for processing. The main steps of flotation processing include: Ore Crushing and Grinding: Firstly ...

The authors conclude that two-stage flotation using dextrin to remove SiO 2 and tannin to remove CaCO 3 improves the fluorite flotation process. The results obtained in this work are consistent with …

Fig. 2 indicates the fluorite & bastnaesite recoveries within separate mineral flotation at pH 4–12 (the amount of SO is fixed at 80 mg/L). When the pH value falls between 6.71 and 12.0, the fluorite recovery rate is greater than 95 %. In terms of the bastnaesite recovery rate first increases and then drops as the pH value increases.

Using sodium oleate (NaOL) as a collector, the flotation characteristics of natural colorless fluorite (CF), green fluorite (GF), and purple fluorite (PF) were investigated through micro-flotation tests, …

Currently, flotation is the most common physical beneficiation process to purify and recover valuable substances from solid matter [22,23]. It is also the most frequently used method to recover natural fluorine resources, fluorite [ 24, 25 ].

The relatively similar physicochemical features and floatabilities of fluorite and barite in the flotation process make the separation of these two minerals rather difficult. Exploration and utilization of efficient depressants is vital to improve the flotation separation performance. In this study, gellan gum (GG) was adopted as the depressant ...
