Flotation of Iron Ore: A Brief Review

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.

Nanobubble-Assisted Flotation of Apatite Tailings: Insights …

No frother was added to the flotation cell since Atrac 1563 has frothing properties itself. Once the air was opened, the concentrates were collected at 1, 3, 5, and 7 min. At the end of the flotation process (after 7 min), the respective samples and the remaining material reported to the tailings were collected in different containers.

Minerals | Special Issue : Iron Ore Flotation

Iron ore production using a new Gemini surfactant at 273 K

Herein we present the use of a Gemini surfactant and reverse froth flotation to efficiently separate magnetite from quartz and produce iron ore at 273 K. This surfactant achieved an obviously superior flotation performance (TFe recovery increased by 48.18%), and the dosage of the Gemini surfactant was three times less than that of a ...
