Flotation, a fundamental process in metallurgy, involves the separation of minerals from the surrounding gangue by utilizing their unique surface properties. Understanding the principles underlying this process is essential for successful mineral separation. In this article, we will explore the key principles of flotation in metallurgy.
Fluorite (CaF2), as an important strategic mineral source, is usually separated from calcite by the common froth flotation method, but this separation is still not selective enough. The development of a selective collector and/or depressant is the key to achieving high selective separation. 1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP or H4L) is widely used as an …
This circuit consists of four DR300 (Denver 300 ft 3) flotation cells where the Cu mineral Cc is floated to concentrate and the Ni bearing mineral Hz remains dispersed in the pulp as tails. Previous research ( Lascelles et al., 2004, Lascelles and Finch, 2002 ) has investigated the loss of selectivity between Cc and Hz as the pulp moves ...
In this study, OBHA was used as collector for the flotation separation of fluorite and calcite. Under a natural slurry pH environment, the recovery of fluorite reached 80 % while calcite recovery was less than 5 % with 3 × 10 −4 mol/L OBHA. The flotation separation of fluorite from calcite can be achieved without the addition of depressants.
The fresh copper oxide mineral surfaces exposed during crushing and grinding have a significant effect on subsequent flotation [23], [24], [25], [26].Many dangling bonds exist on fresh mineral surfaces because of destruction of the original lattice bonds, and the copper oxide mineral surface often shows strong polarity because of the existence of ionic bonds.
The results of single-mineral flotation displayed that SG selectively depressed specularite and floatability difference between the two minerals reached 57.0 percentage point. Artificial mixed mineral flotation experiments further verified the selective depression effect of SG on specularite. ... This suggested that the flotation separation of ...
Although the processing of mineral ores is by far the largest use of flotation separation, numerous other processes have been developed for the separation of other materials. These range from coal flotation processes for upgrading its fuel value to solution processes for separating biomolecules and ions.

Owing to the depletion of wolframite, the focus of tungsten extraction has gradually shifted to scheelite. However, separating the associated minerals (e.g., apatite, fluorite, and calcite) and scheelite is challenging because their surface physicochemical properties are similar to those of scheelite. Fortunately, researchers have made substantial progress in …

The industrial feasibility of ultrasonic pretreatment for enhancing the residue flotation separation were evaluated by pilot-scale flotation tests. The effects of ultrasonic waves on minerals liberation characteristics in the residue were via size-by-size analysis and mineral liberation analysis (MLA), respectively.
The existing challenges in mineral flotation such as characterization of anisotropic crystal plane or heterogeneous surface, low recovery of fine particle flotation, and in-situ electrochemical characterization of collectorless flotation as well as the future work to resolve the challenges based on the understanding and modulation of surface ...
ABSTRACT. Depressants are essential additives in the flotation separation of scheelite-calcite minerals. However, traditional inorganic depressants such as sodium silicate have the disadvantages of high dosage, environmental pollution, and being non-efficient, which leads to a growing interest in eco-friendly and effective organic alternatives.
1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and
flotation is a process used worldwide to separate metallic and nonmetallic minerals from extracted ore. Whereas mineral ore or particulate flotation involves the removal of suspended particles from a reservoir of liquid by extraction into , solution separation techniques occur in a reservoir of solution.
