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 ...

The reverse flotation process is widely used in iron ore, bauxite, phosphate ore, and kaolin ore. The main components of iron reverse flotation froth are quartz and a small amount of hematite and magnetic iron ore. The flow chart of the reverse flotation production process of an iron ore dressing plant is shown in Fig. 3 (a).
Flotation is effective for the concentration of fine (minus 100 mesh) iron ores. Flotation process depends on the fact that certain reagents added to water suspensions of finely ground iron ore selectively cause either iron oxide minerals or gangue particles to exhibit an affinity for air. The minerals having this affinity of attaching …
The modification of starch via ammonium hydroxide solution proved to be effective as a final application in an iron ore depressant in the flotation process with a separation of approximately 80 %. It is possible, through the NBI, to verify that the optimization carried out, in numerous different process steps, and the validation was …
Selective flotation of pentlandite from the iron sulphides (mainly pyrrhotite) is also an issue. Pyrrhotite, if not depressed, can contaminate copper and nickel concentrates. ...

The sulfide ore flotation process can be studied by both chemical and electrochemical phenomena considering the interfacial energies. A broad application of this process in industrial field is the flotation of iron ores which is of two types: direct and reverse flotation. The later one
The fatty acid flotation of a difficult-to-float igneous phosphate ore (26.2% P 2 O 5, 15.4% Fe 2 O 3) was investigated through batch flotation tests in the presence of soda ash.The poor flotation of this otherwise high quality ore was attributed to very high concentrations of calcium and sulfate ions (about 1000 and 2000 mg/L, respectively) …
Abstract. 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 …
Strong magnetic separation – flotation combined process can effectively reduce the content of impurities in iron ore concentrate. Iron ore concentrate roasting is still a high-quality raw material for ironmaking. ... The beneficiation of various types of iron ore is a complex process that requires careful analysis and planning. Whether it is ...
As observed in Table 1, the studies carried out, with tailings from the desliming process of iron ore flotation plants of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero [[16], [17], [18]], using amide-amine, were very promising in the concentration of slimes without starch.However, until recently there was no detailed study of characterization of these …
Thus, the Crago flotation process was evaluated to recover the iron contained in the finest fraction of the Mont-Wright tailings. Since it was patented in 1942, the Crago process with fatty-acid rougher flotation followed by deoiling and amine cleaner flotation has become the standard for phosphate flotation in USA operations.
The flotation method of concentration, used extensively for other metal ores, has only recently been utilized for hematite iron ores. It can be applied as either the sole …
The use of power ultrasound in mining. L. Gaete-Garretón, in Power Ultrasonics, 2015 35.5.1 The flotation process. One of the most used processes to concentrate mineral from a mine is flotation. To perform a flotation process the mineral is finely ground (particle sizes between 50 and 150 μm), then the ground mineral is mixed with water in a …
The collector is the most important reagent used in the iron ore flotation process. The function of the collector reagent is to promote affinity between mineral particles and air bubbles by formation of a water-repellent coating on the surface of the mineral particle. Most collectors in current use are heteropolar; i.e., they contain both a polar
Iron mineral phase transformation gave convenience for the separation of iron minerals and gangue. The magnetic separation concentrate entered the flotation dephosphorization process as flotation feeding. In this process, oleic acid was a collector for P-bearing minerals and starch was a depressant for reducing the rising velocity of …

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.
After the inclusion of the flotation process, the quality of the final magnetite product increased from 66.28 % Fe to 70.04 % Fe, while the SiO 2 levels decreased from 6.90 % to 1.68 %, achieving DR pellet feed quality levels. This was due to the efficiency of flotation process in discarding the disseminated particles of quartz presented before.
