The separation between apatite and carbonate minerals is likely to be challenging for the mining industry due to the surface similarities.

In these cases, textural characterisation, and especially the characterisation of the intergrowth pattern, is essential to determine the response of mineral particles to separation processes and the possibility of increasing liberation by a regrinding stage. As an example, Fig. 1 shows the significance of the intergrowth type on mineral processing.

In this review, analyses of the fundamental reasons for the difficulties of flotation separation of fluorite from calcite are performed, from the similar surface properties of both calcium minerals to the deterioration by the interference of dissolved ions in the …
The ore of the Vergenoeg fluorite mine, South Africa, contains rare earth elements in concentrations that may be of commercial interest. To assess the distribution of the rare earth minerals in ...
Twinning in Minerals and crystals. Twinning in minerals is a phenomenon in which two or more crystals of the same mineral grow together in a symmetrical fashion. This can happen during the initial growth of the crystal, or it can occur after the crystal has formed as a result of stress or temperature changes.
For fluorite-quartz or fluorite-sulfides type mineral deposits, the flotation separation of fluorite from associated minerals is relatively easily achieved by using fatty …
The anionic collector SDS and the depressant CA were applied to the flotation separation of celestite from fluorite and calcite. Single mineral micro-flotation results showed that SDS collector had an excellent flotation performance on celestite and fluorite among a wide pH range, while the usage of CA could realize the flotation …
