The synthesis of geopolymers based on alkaline polysialate, was achieved at slightly elevated temperature, by alkaline activation of raw minerals and industrial waste. The materials were prepared from a solution containing dehydroxylated kaolinite and alkaline hydroxide pellets dissolved in potassium or sodium silicate. Then the mixture was transferred to a polyethylene mould sealed with a top and placed in an oven at 70°C during 24 hours. The addition of an industrial waste, silica fume, leads to the formation of an in-situ inorganic foam. Whatever the alkaline cation, foam formation occurs. The properties depend on the viscosity of silicate precursors due to the amount of water and to the size of alkaline.

The main challenge in scheelite flotation lies in the contamination of the concentrate by other calcium-bearing minerals, mainly calcite. To remedy this problem, sodium silicate is frequently used as a depressant. According to the literature, one hypothesis for the mechanism of water glass consists in its absorption onto calcite through colloidal silica formation, preventing hydrophobization by the collector. This short communication presents research conducted on the direct use of colloidal silica as a depressant in scheelite flotation. Colloidal silica is shown to have an impact on scheelite flotation, especially by depressing silicates.
