Flotation is the most often employed process to achieve the selective removal of contaminants from the raw materials used in the manufacturing of phosphate fertilizer. However, sodium oleate (NaOL), as a typical collector, is ineffective because of its low collecting ability under low temperature. As a result, developing and implementing feasible alternatives is critical for the …
Dolomite, a prominent calcium-bearing gangue mineral found in carbonate-type zinc oxide ores, poses a significant challenge for effective flotation separation alongside smithsonite due to their highly similar surface properties. The present study explores the potential of 2-(4,4-dimethylpentan-2-yl)-5,7,7-trimethyloctanoic acid (2-DMPT) as a collector for the reverse …
In practice, the reverse flotation techniques are commonly adopted to upgrade phosphate ores, in which apatite depressants such as H[sub.2]SO[sub.4] and H[sub.3]PO[sub.4] are used to depress apatite while dolomite is floated by fatty acid collectors [10].
Its efficient separation from gangue minerals has become a key problem because sedimentary rock ... 2 g of the single mineral was stirred in a 40 mL flotation cell for 2 min to disperse it completely. ...

Research on depressants has focused on replacing toxic depressants with nontoxic ones at present (Feng et al., 2019).Natural polysaccharides, such as starch, xanthan gum, cellulose and dextrin, have a depression effect for selectively depressing dolomite flotation (Feng et al., 2020).Pectin, as a high-molecular polysaccharide (its unit molecular structure was …
Froth flotation has been widely used for mineral separation and beneficiation (Li et al., 2017, Nasirimoghaddam et al., 2020, Zhang et al., 2020) and is one of the most efficient methods for obtaining qualified apatite concentrates (Yang et al., 2020).It has been reported that more than 60% of the apatite minerals worldwide are beneficiated via flotation (Yang et al., …

The Jameson Cell is a high intensity flotation cell in which pulp and air are brought together in a co-current descending flow in a vertical tube called the downcomer. The pulp is introduced into the downcomer through a slurry lens orifice to produce a high velocity jet that generates violent mixing and fine bubble size.
Flotation cells are mechanical equipment that bring the ore in contact with air, water, and chemical agents. Their main function is to separate the previously conditioned slurry into a concentrate and tailings. The level of these cells is controlled by dart valves, which in turn are operated by actuators.The calculation of the level control valve (Dart) in flotation cells …
Flotation is considered as the most effective approach to beneficiate apatite from dolomite. However, the efficient separation of these two ores is difficult due to the similar surface characteristics and the interference of inviolable ions [7].Thus, more selective flotation reagents such as collectors or depressants are indispensable to beneficiate apatite from dolomite …
