The possibility of using a thermomorphic polymer with a phosphine group as a collecting reagent for the selective concentration of tin during flotation enrichment of sulfide-tin tails was first investigated in the work. A detailed description of the experimental scheme of flotation concentration of sulfide-tin ore tailings and the reagent mode are given.
Flotation is the traditional process used for concentrating sulfide ores, based on the differences in hydrophobicity exhibited by the minerals which are enhanced by collectors. Xanthates are the collectors widely used in the flotation of minerals such as common sulfides (Cu, Mo, Pb, Zn, Co, Ni) and native metals. However, xanthates have …
Sulfydryl collectors, such as DIBDTPA, DIBDTPI, DIBMTPA and DIBMTPI, could react with a sulfide mineral by a frontier-controlled reaction, [31], [32] i.e. the sulfydryl collector transfers its HOMO electrons to a metal atom on the sulfide mineral surface to form normal covalent bond. In addition, if the metal atom on the sulfide mineral surface …
Flotation occurs at the solid-liquid-gas three phase boundary, first of which is the interaction between the flotation agent and minerals in the pulp. Therefore, the flotation system is based on inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and surface chemistry. Early flotation researchers used this basic chemical knowledge …
Flotation process, patented in the year 1906, was origin-ally developed for mineral industry to recover values from high grade tailings of gravity seperation plants. This technology has acclaimed importance as a versatile process for the beneficiation of vast variety of sulphide mine-rals. Due to flexibility of the process and remarkable …
2. 2. Flotation Procedure All the flotation test-work was done using the Denver laboratory machine with a 1.5l stainless steel flotation cell. The required mass of nickel-copper sulphide ore material ground to 70% passing 75 µm was weighed and placed in the flotation cell. This was followed by the addition of distilled water to about
Conducting release analysis by lab scale froth flotation machine is an established method. As regards particle size range for a particular coal sample you can carry out the release analysis test for a size range of 250 microns to 5 microns like that and find out the optimum recovery or grade of the product.
area of air that is rising through the flotation cell by reducing the bubble diameter (i.e., micro- or pico-bubbles) or by increasing the gas rate. Even with the generation of smaller bubbles, recovery can still be challenging FIGURE 1 Conventional flotation data for industrial sulfide flotation circuits (Lynch et al., 1981).
The micro-flotation test results indicate that at a concentration of 5 × 10 –4 mol/L and at pH 7, SPTS displays a remarkable selectivity for galena, and can …

The open-circuit flotation concentrate has a Sn grade and recovery of 12.01% and 40.59%, respectively, indicating the excellent flotation separation of cassiterite from its associated gangue minerals.
Froth flotation has been a highly useful method of processing sulphide minerals because it has been ascertained over the years that the method is effective [10]. The complexity in the ...
A classification of flotation processes carried out in concentrated electrolyte solutions, e.g., seawater, is proposed using the most obvious features of these processes: low or high content of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions, pulp ionic strength, and pH. The first distinguishable group is the processes carried out in NaCl/KCl solutions, about 0.5 M in …
Deepwater discharges of sulfide flotation tailings have been practiced for several decades. Oxygen penetration and organic matter content in such environments are the two major factors that determine their reduction-oxidation condition and hence the rate of sulfide mineral dissolution under such discharge environments. In this study, the …

The Cu/Ni sulfide ore for bench-scale flotation was from the Yanbian Copper–nickel Mine. The results of chemical analysis of the ore are listed in Table 2.It showed that the main composition of the ore for bench-scale flotation is as follows: 27.81% MgO, 38.91% SiO 2, 12.38% Fe 2 O 3 and 6.02% CaO, which only contained 0.20% Cu, …
Formation of calcium sulphate (gypsum) by the interaction of calcium ions with sulphate ions in the pulp produces fines slime coatings on the sulphide minerals and hinders the flotation of the desired minerals ( Raghavan and Hsu, 1984, Grano et al., 1995, Zanin et al., 2019 ). Sulphate may also increase capital expenditure because of its …
