Iron ore flotation can be performed in two technical routes: direct flotation of iron oxides and reverse flotation of gangue minerals with depression of iron oxides.
"The single most important method used for the recovery and upgrading of sulfide ores", that's how G. J. Jameson described the froth flotation process in 1992. And it's true: this process, used in several processing industries, is able to selectively separate hydrophobic from hydrophilic materials, by taking advantage of the different categories …
Flotation is one of the commonly used methods for silica sand beneficiation. It is mainly used to remove mica and feldspar minerals that are symbiotic with silica sand. However, in the actual production process, the flotation process will be affected by many factors, including: feed size, slurry temperature, slurry liquid chemical …
Colloidal silica has been presented as a selective depressant in froth flotation separation of scheelite and calcite by our group in 2020. Here we analyze the effects of colloidal silica dosage, specific surface area (i.e. size), and modification with microflotation on pure scheelite, calcite, fluorite, and apatite minerals.

Chalcopyrite or chalcocite recovery as a function of flotation time in the presence and absence of bentonite (a) and zeta potentials of the three minerals (b) (Peng and Zhao 2011).
Gold recovery during the combined gravity-flotation concentrate cyanidation using surfactants at a particle size of 89% 10 μm ( − 0.01 mm) is on average 81.6% compared with the use of TCCA—84.0% (average result for 3 tests). Reducing the concentrate size from 89 − 0.01 to 89% − 0.004 mm does not improve gold recovery.
no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.

A bulk of silica sand was taken from Kowli-Kosh silica sand mine to reduce its hematite content by reverse flotation. The raw sample consisted of 97.38% SiO 2 and 0.213% Fe 2 O 3 and traces of Al 2 O 3, CaO, MgO, Na 2 O, K 2 O, TiO 2. Fig. 1 illustrates a general block diagram for the hematite removal process from silica sand. The sample …
The size of the kerosene droplets reduced when NaCl and MgCl 2 were present whereas the AlCl 3 had the opposite effect. The smallest size of the droplet was observed in case of NaCl due to the tendency of Na + to attract easily oxygen atom over hydrogen and hence more cleans could be recovered in case of NaCl from the graphite …

The calculation result of silica flotation rate constant is illustrated in Fig. 3 and Table 3. The flotation rate constant of feeding without UFC is 0.017, which is 0.006 higher than that of feeding with UFC. It means that the existence of UFC could deteriorate the flotation rate of silica in subbituminous coal reverse flotation.
