The flotation of oxidized minerals is mostly carried out by a vulcanization process. Because of the high flotation speed of oxidized ore after sulfidation, concentrate products are directly produced in the first 1-2 tank of the first roughing.

1. Introduction. The flotation of oxidized Pb and Zn minerals, particularly Zn minerals, is much more difficult than the flotation of corresponding sulfide minerals (Hosseini and Forssberg, 2007).The most common flotation technique used commercially for the treatment of ZnO minerals is sulfidization with Na 2 S, followed by treatment with conventional cationic collectors, namely amine …

a copper ore (calcopirit main mineral) is working in 500 tons/hour capacity 3 shifts. the system consists of rough flotation and cleaning flotation. rough flotation gain efficiency 85% how many cells are required in rough flotation ( cell volume is ...

The role of reagents utilised in iron ores flotation is reviewed. Desliming and flotation stages should be performed at pH levels as low as possible to reduce the expenses with caustic soda.

Froth floatation is based on the principle of the difference in the wetting properties of the ore and gangue particles with the water and oil. This method is used for those metals whose ore gets preferably wet by the oil and the gangue by the water. The sulphide ores …

Intensive research on iron ore flotation started in America in 1930s. A variety of flotation routes have been developed to remove silica from iron minerals. The flotation routes of iron ore can be classified into f ive major groups, i.e. cationic flotation of iron oxide, cationic flotation of quartz, anionic

On some ores the desired results were not obtained with hydroxamates for reasons unrelated to the chemistry of the collector. Oxide copper in the ore is perhaps not recoverable by flotation. Insufficient efforts have been made to demonstrate the efficacy and cost benefits of using alkyl hydroxamates in a plant.

The characterisation of the non-sulphide PGM ore used in this study indicated that the ore is enriched in oxide iron minerals as a result of weathering. In the flotation work, the maximum PGM flotation recoveries achieved using the sulphide co-collector schemes were 55.1% 3E (Pt, Pd and Au).

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 efficient method to remove impurities from iron ore.
