In the cationic reverse flotation of iron ore at alkaline pH (9 to 10.5), gelatinized starch with NaOH is used as an iron ore depressant (Silva et al., 2019). In this process, a desliming step must be applied to remove particles below 10 µm, which can result in large mineral losses (Gonçalves and Lima, 2020).
The flotation has been successfully applied to process the iron ore for the particle size (Ps) from 10 µm up to 150 µm. The presence of the slimes (Ps < 10 µm) is harmful on the reverse flotation of quartz, so they are usually prior removed by hydrocyclones.
Reverse flotation of iron ore For the beneficiation of low-grade iron ores containing hematite, magnetite, goethite, and siderite, a reverse flotation process is commonly used to remove silicate or aluminosilicate gangue minerals such as quartz, amphiboles, feldspars, clays, etc. [ 57 ].
Reverse flotation is a process that the gangue minerals report to froth products while the valuable minerals stay in the flotation cell as tailing. According to the types of the collector, it can be generally divided into anionic collector reverse flotation and cationic collector reverse flotation. ... for example, iron ore reverses flotation ...
In the flotation of iron ores, the difference in flotation rates between iron oxides and gangue minerals needs to be enlarged, which can be achieved by changing the surface …

In cationic reverse flotation of iron ore at alkaline pH (9–10.5), the starch gelatinized with NaOH is used as an iron minerals depressant. Recent studies, made with alternative sources of starch such as sorghum and residues from the food industry (sugar cane bagasse and cassava wastewater) have shown promising and more economical …
In general, the industrial flowsheets for the beneficiation of itabirite iron ores from the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (Minas Gerais state) in Brazil involves grinding, desliming, magnetic separation and cationic reverse flotation using both mechanical and columns flotation cells. At Brazilian plants, it is estimated that Fe losses generated at the slimes …
The reverse flotation process is widely used in iron ore, bauxite, phosphate ore, and kaolin ore. The main components of iron reverse flotation froth are quartz and a small amount of hematite and magnetic iron ore. The flow chart of the reverse flotation production process of an iron ore dressing plant is shown in Fig. 3 (a).

In addition, two-step "direct then reverse" and one step "reverse" flotation experiments were carried out and produced iron oxide concentrates of 48.91% and 49.45% yield; 65.03% and 65.22% ...
In both cases, the flotation process adopted is a reverse cationic process with a preliminary desliming stage of flotation feed to remove materials with particle sizes below 10 µm (slimes) that are harmful to the iron ore flotation process (Filippov …
This paper reviews the industrial practices and fundamental research surrounding iron ore flotation. The advantages and disadvantages of direct flotation, …
bulk oil process. flotation, in mineral processing, method used to separate and concentrate ores by altering their surfaces to a hydrophobic or hydrophilic condition—that is, the surfaces are either repelled or attracted by water. The flotation process was developed on a commercial scale early in the 20th century to remove very fine mineral ...
Flow chart of iron reverse flotation production process. In the iron reverse flotation production process, the stirred raw ore and flotation reagent need one roughing, one cleaning and three scavenging. The reverse flotation production process can separate concentrate and tailings. After the raw ore is crushed and grinding, it enters the ...
