The reverse flotation of Itabirite iron ore is typically performed after a desliming step in which most of the sub-10 µm particles are removed. This is done to limit processing problems such as poor flotation recovery of SiO 2 due to slime coatings, increased slurry viscosities, unmanageable froths and increased losses of hematite …
It is easy to extract iron from this kind of haematite by using gravity separation and magnetic separation. Medium-grained hematite refers to iron ore with an embedded particle size between 0.02 and 2mm. This type of hematite is also relatively easy to select, mainly using gravity separation, magnetic separation and magnetic roasting.

The typical feed to a flotation system in the iron ore industry consists of particles in the size range between 10 µm and 300 µm. The slimes fraction (<10 µm) are removed using hydrocyclones prior to flotation and the top size is limited to 5–10% greater than 150 µm. Flotation is performed in circuits consisting of mechanical cells ...

The results of the monomineral flotation test revealed that, under the same conditions, the mixed collector surpassed the single DTAC. Quartz achieved a recovery rate of 94.67%, while hematite reached 8.69%, at a natural pH of around 7.0 and 298 K, indicating potential for the successful reverse flotation of hematite.
Introduction. Quartz is the major gangue mineral present in iron ores. Flotation is the usual concentration method employed for the ores in the fine size range (<149. μm).. Different flotation routes are available: (i) reverse cationic flotation of quartz; (ii) direct anionic flotation of iron oxides; (iii) reverse anionic flotation of activated quartz.
The characterization shows that there is a need to use reverse cationic flotation to separate oxide particles smaller than 0.075 mm. Thus, the modification was carried out in the starch to allow greater positive charges on its surface favoring its capacity as an iron ore depressant (Coelho et al., 2010). 3.2. Modified starch properties

It is well known that reverse flotation performance of iron oxides is affected by water quality. Since many potential variations among water sources recycling in a mineral processing plant bring unpredictable effects on the flotation system of iron oxides: disturbing ions/compounds, pH, hardness, residual reagents, etc. In this study, the …
The recovery of iron from low-grade (31.6% Fe) Muro iron ore was investigated using reverse anionic flotation of quartz. Tests were performed to investigate the effect of pH, the effects of using distilled vs. tap water as the flotation medium and the effects of using cassava starch vs. dextrin for the depression of iron minerals.The …
