Role of silica and alumina content in the flotation of iron ores

Indian low grade iron ores mostly contain quartz, gibbsite, and clay as the major impurities.Depending upon the ore characteristics, in many instances froth flotation has to be used to recover the hematite and other iron oxides from the ground ores. In this context, the difference in silica and alumina content in low grade iron ores is brought to bear on the prospects of iron …

Effects of surfactants combination on iron ore flotation

The challenge in iron ore flotation performance is the balance between the high level of quartz recovery with the minimum iron loss in the froth. The strategy in chemicals used should consider an optimum combined system to perform the simultaneous functions assigned to the reagents. Non-ionic surfactants MIBC and Dowfroth 1012 are more ...

Investigation on alternative depressants for iron ore flotation

Iron ore export plays a relevant role in the Brazilian trade flow. Brazilian concentrators employ cationic reverse flotation to concentrate iron ore fines below 105 μm.The commonly used reagents are corn starch and ether amine, respectively, depressant and frother/collector (Araujo et al., 2005).The use of depressant blends is not a common practice in …

Flotation of a South African Low-Grade Banded Iron …

Due to declining iron ore grades, low-grade ores with complex mineralogy, namely, banded iron formation (BIF), are being explored to maximize iron ore resources and increase the life of mine. Flotation is the standard global process used for the beneficiation of BIF ores, as it is a complex ore reserve, and liberation is typically achieved below 1 mm. This study focuses on …

The flotation process is an ore concentration step, which requires using about 50–85% of water in the feed pulp. With that, in flotation alone, water consumption reaches an average of 0.96 m 3 per ton [5], [6], [7].However, despite great criticism, the flotation stage is how fine-grained ores (between 10 µm and 150 µm in hematite/quartz flotation) with low purity are …
