Froth flotation has been widely used in upgrading iron ores. 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. Nowadays, reverse flotation is the most commonly used route in iron ore flotation. This review is focused …

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. In this …
high silica and alumina have adverse eff ects on the reducibility of the iron ore and sinter plant productivity. The specifications for iron grade and quantities of impurities in the commercial iron ores/ iron concentrates require above 60% Fe, below 5% (SiO2+Al2O3), and less than 0.1% P [3]. Thus, impurity removal from iron ore
The pyrophyllite sample contains high silica (SiO 2 –60%), low alumina (Al 2 O 3 –19%), and iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 –3.5%). Mineralogically, it contains quartz, pyrophyllite, and muscovite minerals. The beneficiation tests have been done by using various techniques such as flotation, and hydrocyclone.

Flotation is the most effective solution, both technologically and economically, when upgrading iron concentrates. Research regarding iron ore flotation began in 1931, demonstrating that reverse ...
After the iron ore is fed to the froth flotation system and the iron ore pulp is obtained. This pulp is analysed with the sample size of the pulp being 171kg/m^3 density and the chemical component of the ore being manipulated to 100 PH. The silica concentrate that is obtained from the slurry is measured and noted down.
Iron is one of the most stubborn impurities in quartz minerals, and the iron content partly determines the various applications of quartz. Iron can exist in quartz in the forms of iron minerals, fluid …
Tables 1, 2 and Fig. 1 show that the impurity content in pure magnesite mineral samples was relatively small, of which the MgO content was 47.64%. When the burning reduction was 0, the MgO content ...

In conventional operations of iron ore beneficiation by flotation, the flotation feed is deslimed to remove the 10 µm fraction prior to flotation (Filippov et al 2014), thus the unselective flocculation effect of starch does not affect the flotation selectivity. Contrary to what occurred in this study, where the pure mineral samples used …
The results are summarised in Fig. 7. Under the prevailing experimental conditions, temperature changes varying between 5 and 20°C have insignificant effect on the iron removal. The maximum iron removal that can be achieved is approximately 25%, at leaching temperatures as low as 5°C and 4 - 5 h retention time. 3.5.3.
In Chador-Malu processing plant, reverse flotation is used for dephosphorization of hematite concentrate. Sodium silicate is used as the iron depressant and a mixture of Alke and Dirol as the collector. The phosphorus content of the concentrate is at an acceptable level (0.047%) but the silica content is relatively high (3.5%). The flotation circuit is …
Iron ores can be concentrated either by direct anionic flotation of iron oxides or reverse cationic flotation of silica. In direct flotation, oleic acid or its sodium salt is the preferred reagent. Several studies on oleate-hematite interactions suggest that the oleate adsorption on hematite mainly depends on solution pH (Paterson and Salman ...
Flotation is mainly used to separate feldspar from silica sand, and can also be used to remove clay minerals such as mica and secondary iron from silica sand. The most typical process is to use hydrofluoric acid as the activator, and use an amine cationic collector for flotation under strong acidity (pH=2～3).
Liu et al., 2007, Wang et al., 2004, Xu et al., 2004 related the viability of increasing the Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 ratio of Chinese diasporic bauxites by removing quartz silica through a flotation process.
