The Importance of pH in Flotation. In flotation, pH control is a vital method to control selective mineral separation. A standard depressant that is used is an Alkali. An Alkali is any substance that when mixed with Acid will neutralize each other and form a new chemical substance called a BASE.

The …
The unliberated associations between REE silicates and iron oxide silicates within fine-grained particles promoted the flotation recovery of silicate minerals (typically quartz, annite, and illite), which may float poorly in the presence of anionic collectors . Furthermore, the genuine interaction of iron oxides with anionic collectors coupled ...

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 …

The tin flotation process as defined in claim 1, wherein sulfurous acid is used in said flotation. 5.
Highlights Flotation of pure minerals constituting the gangue of rare metal low grade ores was performed. Mixed collector synergetic effects confirmed for silicates and Ca-minerals flotation. Selective separation of palygorskite from silicates and Ca-minerals is achieved at pH 8. Reagents consumption lowered with addition of non-ionic reagent …
Electrostatic mechanism is established for the flotation of oxides and silicates. •. Argued that the mechanism of surface charging is not adsorption. •. Instead, …
With the recent increasing use of hydroxamic acid collectors in rare earth flotation, sodium silicate is used to depress gangue silicates prior to the addition of the collector [27, 28]. At low alkaline conditions (pH 9.0), the depressing action of sodium silicate upgraded a rare earth concentrate from 9.8–12 to 34–55% TREO content .
The flotation of pure pyrite under different pHs is also shown in Fig. 2 a for comparison. It is seen from Fig. 2 a that the maximum flotation recovery of pyrite alone was achieved at the PAX dosage of 1 × 10 −4 M, after which further increasing of PAX dosage did not increase the pyrite recovery. However, pyrite flotation was significantly ...
Silicates are some of the most abundant minerals on Earth. They are some of the most common of the raw material that takes over 75% of the Earth's crust. A majority of igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks are made of silicate minerals. The most common type of silicate is (SiO 4) 4-. There are many different types of silicates.
3. Results 3.1. Micro-flotation Based on the chemical analysis of the minerals identified in the ore, the elements La, Ce and Nd are considered representative of Feed 2.2. Micro-flotation 3' 3' 3' 3' The micro-flotation cell used was modified from Siwek et al. (1981). The liquid volume was 100 mL and the charge sample size was 10 g.
The recovery of iron from the screw classifier overflow slimes by direct flotation was studied. The relative effectiveness of sodium silicates with different silica-to-soda mole ratios as depressants for silica and silicate bearing minerals was investigated. Silica-to-soda mole ratio and silicate dosage were found to have significant effect on the …
However, the fluorite and silicates were affected by similar coefficients (Fig. 8). This indicated that only some of the silicates, probably the calcium-bearing silicates, were problematic in the flotation process and that the fluorite poses a greater problem in flotation.

The application of green reagents as process aids in the froth flotation process is of crucial importance in order to reduce the environmental impacts. In this study, chitosan polymer was used as a green depressant of silicates in the direct flotation of phosphate minerals. Zeta potential measurements were used to examine the electrical …
Phosphates and fluorides are adopted as regulators for the removal of silicates from diasporic-bauxite by flotation. Micro-flotation tests show that sodium hexametaphosphate has a stronger depressing power on diaspore than sodium fluorosilicate at pH 6.5 while using dodecylamine chloride as a collector. Zeta potentials …
The incorporation of isolated tin atoms has been shown to impart a strong Lewis acid functionality to silicates (Corma et al. 2003). The tin atoms, substitute individual silicon atoms, giving rise to electron-deficient active sites, which are able to coordinate to an electron donor, e.g. the carbonyl oxygen of carbohydrates.
The mechanism of flotation of oxide and silicate minerals was established long ago as being due to the electrostatic attraction between the charged surface and the charge of the collector. What is less well established is the mechanism of the charging of the mineral surface. Most researchers have postulated that the adsorption of H + is the …
