A flotation method for mineral processing is disclosed. The method for floating includes a first step of using a first carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in a first flotation cell, and a subsequent step includes using a second CMC in a subsequent flotation cell, the first and second CMCs having different characteristics. The first flotation cell may be used in at least one rougher stage and/or at ...
In the processing of mineral-containing ores, it is necessary to separate undesirable minerals known as gangue (e.g. Al 2 O 3, SiO 2 and TiO 2) from the desired minerals in ore (e.g. iron ore). One method of accomplishing this goal is to depress the flotation of a particular mineral during the normal flotation …
Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating of hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic.This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and waste-water treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century.
The FLOTATION PROCESS is one of the commonest methods of extracting the valuable minerals from certain classes of ores, and it is generally more efficient as regards the recovery of the minerals than any other process applicable to the treatment of similar types of ores. The metallic contents of the minerals are recovered from the concentrates in a subsequent series of metallurgical …
FLOTATION Flotation is the most widely used mineral separation method. It is the preferred method of mineral recovery for many of the most important minerals that are recovered and large tonnages of ore are processed by flotation annually. The underlying principles of the flotation process are well established but it has proved to be
Flotation is an economical and effective separation of refined gold technology, especially for these ores that are not suitable for other processes, such as gold-bearing copper ore, base metal ore, copper-nickel ore, platinum group ore, etc. Flotation is also used to remove impurities before hydrometallurgical treatment (ie, carbon pre ...
Improved metallurgical performance of column cells in iron ore flotation is reported and attributed to froth washing, which reduces the loss of fine iron minerals entrained into the froth phase (Dobby, 2002). The Brazilian iron ore industry has embraced the use of column flotation cells for reducing the silica content of iron concentrates.

A flotation method for mineral processing is disclosed. The method for floating comprises a first step comprises using a first carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in a first flotation cell, and a subsequent step comprises using a second CMC in a subsequent flotation cell, the first and second CMCs having different characteristics. The first CMC has a degree of substitution (DS) that is different ...
The most suitable ore pulp concentration during the flotation process is related to the ore property and the flotation processing conditions. The general rules as flow: (1) Pulp Density. The mineral with large flotation density uses a thicker slurry, while the mineral with a small flotation density uses a thinner slurry.
