The flotation of rare earth (RE) minerals (i.e. xenotime, monazite-(Nd), RE carbonate mineral) from an ore consisting mainly of silicate minerals (i.e. primary silicate minerals and nontronite clay) and hematite was investigated using tall oil fatty acids (Aero 704, Sylfat FA2) as collector. The RE minerals are enriched with Fe.

Flotation is a physico-chemical process that is based on differences in hydrophobicity and is used to separate minerals in a slurry of finely ground ore [ 8 ]. Typically, the desired (valuable) minerals are rendered hydrophobic and the gangue (waste) minerals are made hydrophilic.

The flotation of rare earth minerals is broadly classified into two categories, such as carbonate mineral (bastnaesite) flotation and phosphate mineral (monazite and …

Several techniques are available for separating rare earth ore from gangue minerals, including re-election, magnetic separation, electric separation, and froth flotation [36,37]. Froth flotation is a dominant technique for separating bastnäsite-(Ce) due to its ability to handle minerals of different sizes and adjust accordingly to the ...

The flotation of rare earth (RE) minerals (i.e. xenotime, monazite-(Nd), RE carbonate mineral) from an ore consisting mainly of silicate minerals (i.e. primary silicate minerals and nontronite clay) and hematite was investigated using tall oil fatty acids (Aero 704, Sylfat FA2) as collector.

Zeng has done extensive investigation of flotation of the WS rare earth ore. A modified reverse flotation process, shown in Fig. 2.2, was proposed to upgrade the rare earth from 3 to 7 % to 60 % rare earth oxide (REO) and barite from 25 to 92–95 %. Overall, rare earth recovery is 77–84 % and barite recovery is 61–68 %.

particle separation. flotation, in mineral processing, method used to separate and concentrate ores by altering their surfaces to a hydrophobic or hydrophilic condition—that is, the surfaces are either repelled or attracted by water. The flotation process was developed on a commercial scale early in the 20th century to remove very fine ...

Bastnaesite, a rare-earth fluocarbonate, was separated from associated calcite and barite gangue minerals in the Mountain Pass, CA rare-earth ore beneficiation plant by froth flotation using fatty acids (tall oil) collector, lignin sulfonate depressant and soda ash modifier after high-temperature (steam) conditioning with reagents. Starting …

The flotation process is considered one of the most important techniques to separate rare earth minerals from associate minerals and is commonly applied to the beneficiation of rare earth ores. It is worth mentioning that this separation method is used to separate minerals by exploiting the differences in their surface wettability [ 12, 24 ].
