Flotation is widely used as the primary beneficiation techni- que for non-magnetic iron ores, and is often used for further upgrading magnetic iron ores as well (Araujo, Viana and Peres
Hematite flotation separation. The flotation separation is mainly used for the extraction of iron from the fine-grained and particulate haematite. If it is difficult to recover fine ore particles smaller than 10μm by other methods, the flotation separation method can be adopted. At present, froth flotation is commonly used.
So far, several investigations have been conducted regarding the eco-friendly flotation separation of iron oxide ores for moving toward sustainable development and cleaner production.
