Flotation as a concentration process has been extensively used for a number of years. However, little is known of it as an exact science, although, various investigators have been and are doing much to place it on a more scientific basis. This, of course, is a very difficult undertaking when one appreciates how ore deposits were formed and the …
This literature review focuses on the various techniques used in the beneficiation of lithium minerals from hard rock pegmatite ores. Dense media separation and flotation are the main beneficiation methods used for the separation of …
This study addresses the response of high alumina iron ore slimes using combination of classification using hydrocyclone and flotation with amines and fatty acid, aiming at the production of ultrafine concentrate adequate for blending with traditional pellet feed fines. 1.2.1. Starch–kaolinite interactions.

The reagents used in iron ore flotation, including starch, amines and fatty acids, and the mechanisms of their interactions with the minerals in iron ore are examined.
The fatty acid flotation of a difficult-to-float igneous phosphate ore (26.2% P2O5, 15.4% Fe2O3) was investigated through batch flotation tests in the presence of soda ash.
When the ore was conditioned for 3 min, 19% of the iron was recovered in the concenbrate at a grade of 67% Fe. With a conditioning time of 7 min, 73% of the iron reported to the concentrate at a grade of 62% Fe. These products were obtained with an addition of 0.2 lb per ton hydroxamate. This ore also responded well to flotation with fatty acid.
Froth flotation has become an integral part of phosphate concentration process. In this study, double reverse flotation was applied to recover apatite from phosphate ore. H 3 PO 4 and CaO were used as phosphate depressants, in acidic and alkaline conditions. Fatty acids and amines were added as carbonate and silicate …
Cottonseed fatty acid,soy fatty acid,rice bran fatty acid,palm oil fatty acid and stearic acid were selected to study how the composition of plant fatty acid effected froth flotation of collophanite at normal temperature.The froth flotation tests were conducted to research the flotation performance of plant fatty acid and its fatty acid composition was …
Among all flotation conditions flotation temperature is one of the most important factors for fatty acid collectors in the anionic reverse flotation of hematite.

Single-stage flotation with fatty acid based collector in an alkali medium can be effectively used to remove main colored impurities together from the albite ore.
Fatty acids like oleic acids and amines like dodecylamine are known to be the conventional collectors for iron ore flotation. However, there is a need for developing new collectors that will be more selective for the targeted phases to address the issue of liberation and enhancement of yield.
The negative charge of silicate gangue minerals in a wide pH range indicate that the adsorption of fatty acids on iron sites occurs as a chemical adsorption, but other mechanisms proposed are ion ...
Cationic collectors were utilized industrially in flotation for the first time in 1935, much later than xanthates and fatty acids. Cationic collectors are usually used to float minerals that ...
Fatty acid or soap flotation of spodumene is one well established recovery method, but pulverized or ground particle surface conditions generally necessitate pre-flotation treatment. This involves high density agitation with cleaning agents such as sodium silicofluoride, trisodium phosphate, or sodium sulphide with sodium hydroxide.
Wei, et al. [76] used a purified cotton seed fatty acid as collector in the reverse flotation of an iron ore. The purified cotton seed fatty acid contains oleic acid and linoleic acid.
Froth flotation is an important concentration process that can be used to selectively separate hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic waste gangue. In a more simple context, froth flotation is one of the most popular operational processes for mineral beneficiation. In ore/mineral beneficiation, froth flotation is a method by which commercially important …
A broad application of this process in industrial field is the flotation of iron ores which is of two types: direct and reverse flotation.
This is consistent with flotation tests carried out by Satur et al. (2016), where fatty acids were used to achieve the highest REE recovery from a silicate-haematite ore at pH 11.
Using the mixed fatty acids (MFA) produced by waste cooking oil as flotation collectors directly, the flotation effect is usually not satisfactory, especially at lower temperature, which may be due to the presence of large amounts of saturated fatty acids. In this study, waste cooking oil was separated into saturated fatty acids (SFA) …
Amine salts are useful as flotation agents (collectors) and at present are the most important cationic collectors used in iron ore flotation. All silicate flotations in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais are accomplished using fatty amines and basically consist of the selective separation of quartz particles from iron oxides.
The flotation of pure and natural carbonaceous iron ore samples in the oleate flotation system was investigated. Starch can depress hematite effectively in a wide pH range, but cannot depress siderite efficiently in neutral conditions. The flotation recovery of pure hematite, siderite, and quartz in the oleate-starch-CaCl2 system is …
The flotation performance of the collectors was evaluated using a laboratory mechanical flotation cell at different process parameters such as pH, collector dosage, diesel dosage and flotation time. The two collectors evaluated were a commercial plant collector and a refined tall oil fatty acid.
When fatty acid was used with ore I, the collector was added to the rod mill containing ore at 70% solids by weight. The ground product was diluted to 20% solids; the frother was added, and flotation was effected as described previously.
The main routes of iron ore flotation were reviewed. Reverse cationic flotation is the most used flotation method of iron ore beneficiation. Ether amines and starches are usually used as collectors and depressant, respectively. Selective depressants for Fe-bearing silicates deserve further investigations.
The synergistic effect of the fatty acids would substantially enhance the flotation responses at low expenses. Indeed, the stronger the primary collector is supported with other synergists, the less concentration will …
Fatty acids have been extensively investigated in the flotation of iron oxides (e.g., hematite and magnetite), showing high recoveries under different flotation conditions (Quast, 2021).
China's oxide ore flotation industry requires more than 800 thousand tons fatty acid collector every year. The traditional process of preparing fatty acids mainly through chemical synthesis [ 7 ]. With the increase in industrial costs, the new material choices such as waste cooking oil to prepare fatty acids will increasingly receive attention.
Sub-processes in the flotation of phosphate ores by fatty acids, nonionic surfactants and fuel oil.
The reduction of phosphorus content at the concentrate of some iron ore mines in Mexico, Sweden and Iran, where the apatite is the main phosphorous mineral, can be easily reached through anionic flotation with fatty acids collectors to float the apatite when sodium silicate is used to depress the iron oxides ( Subramanian et al., 2002, …
Though the cost of hydroxamate is higher than fatty acids, its superiority over fatty acids in flotation of the fine-grained oxide ore deserves further attention for industrial application.
Tall oil is less costly than the fatty acid from usual animal and vegetable fatty acid, but it has low selectivity. It is an important oxide ore collector, particularly for iron and phosphorus ore. Tall oil can also be used to manufacture soap, paint, ink, and lubricant and also used for emulsion and microemulsion in metal processing fluid.
A novel quaternary ammonium surfactant (M-302) containing ester bonds and hydrocarbon tails was synthesized. The first use of M-302 as a collector for reverse cationic flotation of silicates from a Chinese magnetite iron ore was reported in this study.
