The process of froth flotation usually involves a series of steps: the preparation of appropriate particle sizes of liberated components in the mixture of solids to be separated; the creation of conditions …
Since the physical and chemical properties of apatite and dolomite can be similar, the separation of these two minerals is difficult. Therefore, when performing this separation using the flotation method, it is necessary to search for selective depressants. An experimental research was performed on the separation behavior of apatite and …
The flotation process uses hydrophilic or hydrophobic chemical reagents with aeration to separate suspended particles. Phosphate rock mined in North Carolina does not contain …
Reverse flotation desilication is an indispensable step for obtaining high-grade fluorapatite. In this work, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) is recommended as an efficient collector for the reverse flotation separation of quartz from fluorapatite. Its collectivity for quartz and selectivity for fluorapatite were also compared …
The flotation of phosphate ores and the production of phosphoric acid are two main processes of the phosphorus chemical industrial chain (Tayibi et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2020). Phosphate tailing (PT) is a by-product of the phosphate flotation, while the phosphogypsum and acid water are by-products of the wet process to produce …
For grinding phosphate rock, the energy used is about 25-35 MJ per tonne and the process water needed is around 13 m3 per tonne while the average values for ore flotation units are 62.5 MJ per tonne and 5.3 m3 per ton [31] for energy and water use, respectively. So far the challenge in the flotation of high carbonate containing …
The mid-low grade of phosphate ore, rich by the silicate and carbonate gangue minerals needs a special treatment using the flotation process. Where the collectors play a pivotal role.
The first commercial production of phosphate rock began in England in 1847. A wide variety of techniques and equipment is used to mine and process phosphate rocks in order to beneficiate low-grade ores and remove impurities. The eighth chapter of this book deals with mining and beneficiation of phosphate ore. The principle and operating …
