A series of tests with pneumatic flotation cells indicated that this type of flotation technology could achieve the required silica target. A 500 tph Imhoflot pneumatic flotation plant was subsequently constructed and successfully commissioned by CMH, making it one of the largest iron ore flotation plants in the world.

Quaternary ammonium compounds are found to be more selective than primary amines in reverse flotation of iron ore [83, 84].The classical theory explains that adsorption mechanism of amines on quartz molecules is electrostatic in nature and stabilised by hydrophobic association of hydrocarbon chains.

An experimental programme based on statistical analysis was used for optimizing the reverse Rotation of silica from non-magnetic spiral preconcentrate of Kudremukh iron ore. Flotation of silica with amine and starch as the Rotation reagents was studied to estimate the optimum reagent levels at various mesh of grind. The experiments were first carried …

The use of column flotation was considered for the "reverse flotation" of iron ore, where the gangue (quartz) was recovered in the froth product. This use of the froth for carrying the gangue mineral rather than carrying the valuable concentrate significantly changes the operational requirements of the column. The objective of this …

In the cationic reverse flotation of iron ore at alkaline pH (9 to 10.5), gelatinized starch with NaOH is used as an iron ore depressant (Silva et al., 2019). In this process, a desliming step must be applied to remove particles below 10 µm, which can result in large mineral losses ( Gonçalves and Lima, 2020 ).

The requirement for higher quality pellets demands that the silica content be lowered to levels ranging from 0.25% – 2.0% SiO2. Reverse flotation (silica is floated away from the iron concentrate) has proven to be an economical and effective method for reducing the concentrate silica content to very low levels.

Research regarding iron ore flotation began in 1931, demonstrating that reverse cationic flotation is a very efficient method for beneficiating oxidised iron ores. This method can also be applied to reduce the silica content in magnetite concentrates obtained using wet low-intensity magnetic separation.

It is well known that iron ore reverse flotation is carried out at a pH of approximately 10 [21]. Fig. 3a shows the relationship between EA concentration and flotation recovery at pH 10 in the absence of HPAM. As shown in Fig. 3a, the recovery of quartz was 87.24% and the recovery of hematite was 40.98% at an EA concentration of …

iron oxide from floating. This is commonly referred to as 'reverse' flotation. Normally silica is floated using an amine as the flotation reagent. But "reverse" flotation using anionic collectors is also applicable to activated rock minerals (e.g., C2+ activation of silica) whereby the iron-bearing minerals are depressed.

Introduction. Quartz is the major gangue mineral present in iron ores. Flotation is the usual concentration method employed for the ores in the fine size range (<149. μm).. Different flotation routes are available: (i) reverse cationic flotation of quartz; (ii) direct anionic flotation of iron oxides; (iii) reverse anionic flotation of activated quartz.
