This seriously restricts the utilization of talc-bearing molybdenum ore resources (Yuan et al., 2019b). The research and development of selective flotation reagents, especially talc depressants, is a research "hotspot" to realize the efficient flotation separation of talc from molybdenite (Castro and Laskowski, 2015).

The natural hydrophobicity of talc was depressed by the use of ultrasonic treatment during flotation. The recovery of the talc decreased by nearly 30% after 4 min of ultrasonic preconditioning. In addition, two talc depressants, namely, IMP4 and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), were compared during ultrasound treatment. The guar …
Although talc can be considered a naturally hydrophobic mineral, it might need treatment to float. Investigation on pure talc flotation showed that it could float easily [ 13, 41] in a collectorless flotation system by adding frothers (alcohols) [ 39, 58, 59, 60 ].
The Mimosa ore is characterised by an unusually large amount of talc, which often causes problems during the flotation of the PGM minerals due to the fact that talc consumes high amount of reagents. Therefore the purpose of the second part of this thesis was to investigate the possibility of removing talc prior to the flotation process
The surface of talc is covered by fine serpentine particles due to heteroaggregation, which results in a significant decrease in the flotation recovery rate of the mixed ore. At the same time, fine serpentine particles cover the talc surface to form a dense film to prevent the adsorption of depressant (GA) on the surface of talc.
For Shalatin sample, an attritioning scrubbing of 11 mm crushed talc ore was carried out at 60% solids, 1500 rpm motor speed and an attrit ioning time of 60 minu tes. The product has ... Sohn, 1989). Various factors that control the flotation process of talc include particle size, pH values, collector dosage, depressant dosage, pulp density and ...

in froth flotation of a primary talc ore is a common A theoretical value of LOI of pure talc (LOIT) of way for the preparation of concentrates (Brezáni et al., 4.75% was used. The same equation was also used for 2013, Aghazadeh et al. 2015).
These results provide substantial evidence that the fine hematite particles are flocculated in the presence of corn starch, and flocculation is dependent on the particle size of hematite, with greater flocculation for finer particles. Thus, starch is playing a dual role in the reverse flotation of iron ore, acting as a depressant by hindering ...
In the presence of the collector, talc flotation conforms to the two model, because talc has a higher floatability and particle morphology has less influence on the flotation rate. ... I. Effect of molecular structure on the kinetics of flotation of a Canadian nickel ore by N-arylhydroxamic acids. Int. J. Miner. Process. 2009, 93, 284–288.
Since flotation is the most effective beneficiation technique for upgrading sulfides, the high hydrophobicity of talc has made its selective separation challenging. …
The nature of a clay mineral in aqueous solution is related to its crystal structure. Most clay minerals are phyllosilicates which are made up of silicon‑oxygen tetrahedrons (T) and aluminum‑oxygen octahedrons (O) in certain proportions [9].Montmorillonite (T-O-T), kaolinite (T-O) and talc (T-O-T) are common clay minerals …

During the recovery of the valuable platinum group minerals and base metal sulphides in the Merensky Reef ore by flotation, a certain amount of naturally floatable gangue (NFG) is recovered, which dilutes the concentrate.Although talc is the only silicate mineral well known for it naturally floatable properties, the proportion of NFG recovered …
Through the flotation experiment of pyrite and talc artificial mixed ore, the flotation separation effect of pyrite and talc after the intermolecular assembly of the solid–liquid interface flotation agent was investigated. The artificial mixed ore flotation test was carried out in a 40 ml hanging trough flotation machine. The flotation time ...
Talc is a naturally hydrophobic gangue mineral in most sulfide ores. However, talc has vast applications in the cosmetics, paper, and paint industries due to its high chemical stability, and its demand continues to grow. Since flotation is the most effective beneficiation technique for upgrading sulfides, the high hydrophobicity of talc …
