Coarse particle flotation for early gangue rejection application has attracted considerable attention in the mineral industry. Since grinding units consume a significant amount of energy and sometimes stand as the most energy-consuming unit in the process (Curry et al., 2014, Jeswiet and Szekeres, 2016, Hassanzadeh, 2018), the early …
The major requirement for the flotation process is the removal of the large amount of quartz in the flotation feeds. For this purpose, depressants are often added to depress the flotation of quartz. Common depressants used in fluorite flotation are water glass, phosphate and some kind of colloid such as tannin and starch [5,6,7]. Of all ...

1. Introduction. Quartz is an important industrial mineral with various applications, and its flotation with anionic collectors when activated with cations, or with cationic collectors, have been well-known for quite some time (Glover, 1928, Wark, 1936).More recently it have been shown that quartz can be easily floated, without the …

The objective of the micro-flotation test was to investigate the interaction of fine magnesite/dolomite and quartz particles in the flotation process. The single mineral floatability of magnesite, dolomite, and quartz with surfactant DDA acetic and the influence of pH on their flotation were investigated first.
The process includes conditioning the ground ore pulps at 40 to 45 percent solids with sulfuric acid and floating the mica with a cationic collector. The sulfuric acid is used for pH control and quartz depression. Best mica flotation was obtained in a pulp having a pH of 4.0.
The quartz particle flotation assisted by nanobubbles (200–720 nm) was investigated. The nanobubbles increased the contact angle at the quartz/water interface. The nanobubbles improved the flotation recovery of the ultrafine quartz fractions. Main mechanisms were enhancement of hydrophobicity and aggregation of ultrafine quartz …
Abstract. Flotation experiments performed on a quartz-feldspar mixture demonstrate that quartz can be floated selectively from feldspars in diluted solutions of …
It is in light of this that the direct and collectorless flotation of quartz was investigated. The main purpose of this paper is to report and document initial …
Quartz started to float in the presence of hexylamine, which in quartz flotation process plays role of a frother. It was shown that hexylamine, a short chain alkyl amine, does not exhibit the collecting properties for quartz. It ruptures the liquid film between the bubble and slightly naturally hydrophobic quartz. Hexylamine also …
The flotation process is a separation technique primarily used in mineral processing for the recovery of minerals (Wills and Finch, ... Dodecyl amine salts or tallow amine are often used as frother-collectors in silica and other quartz mineral flotation (Hanumantha Rao and Forssberg, 1997, Hedberg, 1970).
Fig. 1 c displays the results of mixed-mineral flotation experiments involving apatite and quartz, which pertain to flotation concentrates − the mineral particles that persist in slurries post-flotation in the reverse flotation process. As observed in the figure, with increases in the dosage of DDAIP collector, both the grade and recovery of ...
The present study investigates the optimization and advanced simulation of the flotation process of coarse particles (–425 + 106) using micro-nanobubbles (MNBs). For this purpose, flotation experiments in the presence and absence of MNBs were performed on coarse quartz particles, and the results were statistically analyzed. Methyl …
Quartz sand flotation purification process. October.11,2021. Generally, common mineral impurities in quartz sand, such as silicate minerals such as feldspar and mica, can be removed by flotation process to remove most of the mineral particles other than quartz sand and enrich quartz.. The quartz sand flotation can not only remove …
In the reverse cationic flotation process of hematite and quartz, the most commonly used cationic collectors are amine collectors, such as dodecylamine (DDA) and ether amine, etc [7], [14]. In this process, the quartz needs to be floated out and the target mineral hematite is suppressed. Usually, under the reaction of the cationic collector DDA ...
Experimental studies of flotation of quartz particles, under various conditions and cells (setups), are presented. Pure and well-characterized quartz samples were treated with a commercial alkyl ether monoamine as flotation collector with bubbles in various sizes: coarse bubbles (400–800 μm); nanobubbles (200–720 nm); and their …
This quartz flotation is entirely due to mechanical 'entrainment' of the quartz particles, for clean quartz is completely hydrophilic. When xanthate is added to Cu(II)-activated quartz, a large increase in flotation (up to 42% recovery after 8 min of flotation) is only observed in the 7.5 to 9.5 pH range (Fig. 1).
The present researches on the flotation of quartz and feldspar are based on single mineral and artificial mixed minerals flotation tests. The separation processes can be categorized into three types, as shown in Table 1 (Karaguzel et al., 2006, Larsen and Kleiv, 2016, O'meara, et al., 1939, Sekulić et al., 2004, Xie et al., 2021a).Although the fluorine …
