Different process variables were assessed along with mineralogical characterisation to optimise the process for efficient rejection of siliceous gangue minerals. Results indicated that dolomite, calcite and quartz are the major mineral phases present in the ore along with other minor minerals.
Gangue minerals, also called useless minerals, refer to the mineral associated with ore minerals that cannot be utilized temporarily, such as quartz, sericite, chlorite in copper ores, dolomite and calcite in asbestos ores, and so on.
Improved collector dispersion and increased rate of mineral–collector interactions at high temperatures may promote the unselective adsorption of the fatty acid collector onto the gangue minerals. This renders the gangue minerals floatable, and hence the observed increase in gangue dilution of the CaF 2 concentrate as pulp …
Nowadays, the flotation separation process is encountering major difficulties due to the influence of fine gangue minerals such as silicates and clay minerals, which cause high gangue entrainment, slime coatings and high pulp and froth viscosities.
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 …
