Main Effects

The flotation has been successfully applied to process the iron ore for the particle size (Ps) from 10 µm up to 150 µm. The presence of the slimes (Ps < 10 µm) is harmful on the reverse flotation of quartz, so they are usually prior removed by hydrocyclones. The main effects of the presence of slimes on the flotation are related to the increase on reagents consumption, the froth stability, and decrease on the selectivity. The lower floatability of coarse quartz particles (+74 µm) combined with the presence of slimes, even in small quantities, drastically affect the flotation response. This paper shows a study of characterization of a typical iron ore slime, aiming to create a better understanding of its role on the concentration by flotation. The main characteristics of typical slimes from the Iron Ore Quadrangle in Brazil are the presence of almost 70% of hematite, 25% of quartz, and 5% of kaolinite, as the main silicates gangue minerals. Furthermore, the particle size distribution revealed that 80% of the hematite and the kaolinite are below 20 µm. The affinity between the ultrafine kaolinite of the slimes with the corn starch is harmful to the reverse flotation of quartz, as the starch has an important depressing action over the hematite. The presence of 20% of hematite −20 µm decreased the recovery to the froth of quartz + 74 µm from 97% to 62%, where the slimes coating seems to be the main responsible.

The mineral processing technology of Anshan-type iron ores has been developed in a rapid speed in recent years, and the combined flowsheet at the core of anionic reverse flotation has become a mainstream in the beneficiation of Anshan-type iron ores in china. With the successful application of this combined flowsheet, some obvious problems are also emerging. Such as high requirement of pulp temperature, complex reagent system, high cost of reagent consumption and so on. In view of this,we have carried out an experimental study on the separation of Anshan type iron ore by cationic reverse flotation . A new collector (named KBD) which is mixed amines have been developed . On this basis, the actual mineral separation experiment is carried out in the laboratory.With KBD as the collector,and starch and sodium hexametaphoshate as the depressant, has resulted in an iron concentrate of 68.16% and recovery rate of 89.71%. The determination of the electrokinetic potential and the infra-red spectroscopic analysis show that KBD can effectively and priorly adsorbed to the surface of quartz, and has greatly change the elecrtokinetic potential of quartz.The interaction of the depressing agent has increased the differences of the floatabilities in quartz and hermitite and changed the surface electric property so that the effective separation has been realized.

Demand for high-quality iron concentrate is significantly increasing around the world. Thus, the development of the techniques for a selective separation and rejection of typical associated minerals in the iron oxide ores, such as phosphorous minerals (mainly apatite group), is a high priority. Reverse anionic flotation by using sodium silicate (SS) as an iron oxide depressant is one of the techniques for iron ore processing. This investigation is going to present a synthesized reagent “sodium co-silicate (SCS)” for hematite depression through a reverse anionic flotation. The main hypothesis is the selective depression of hematite and, simultaneously, modification of the pulp pH by SCS. Various flotation experiments, including micro-flotation, and batch flotation of laboratory and industrial scales, were conducted in order to compare the depression selectivity of SS versus SCS. Outcomes of flotation tests at the different flotation scales demonstrated that hematite depression by SCS is around 3.3% higher than by SS. Based on flotation experiment outcomes, it was concluded that SCS can modify the pH of the process at ~9.5, and the plant reagents (including NaOH, Na2CO3, and SS gel) can be replaced by just SCS, which can also lead to a higher efficiency in the plant.

The composition of catering waste oil is similar to that of traditional materials for the preparation of fatty acid collectors, which makes it possible to change catering waste oil into fatty acid collector applied to ore flotation. The collectors which come from catering waste oil are detected by FTIR and GC-MS analyses. The FTIR date shows that collectors contains lively carboxyl functional groups and The GC-MS date reveals that those carboxyl functional groups exist in single unsaturated fatty acid and three unsaturated fatty acid. The collectors can be applied to iron ore reverse flotation, apatite flotation, and fluorite flotation. It has better flotation experiment results than the traditional collector that using in field production.

Mineral Flotation

The content of carbonate minerals in Dong Anshan iron ore was increasing in recent years, which deteriorated reverse flotation indices or even resulted in unclear separation between concentrate and tailing. In dodecylamine and sodium oleate systems, reverse flotation tests were undertaken with artificial mixed minerals of martite, quartz and siderite. Based on mineral flotation tests, the effect mechanism of siderite on reverse flotation were investigated in terms of SEM and EDS. Results showed that siderite was weakly depressed by starch, and the adsorption of siderite on hematite and quartz was the main cause for reverse flotation difficulties. In reverse flotation in dodecylamine system, the adverse effect of siderite on reverse flotation could be reduced when the amount of starch increased, and iron minerals and quartz were separated effectively. Therefore, the reverse flotation in dodecylamine system could be considered to realize separating effectively iron minerals and quartz of Donganshan iron ore containing carbonates, but which had high requirements on pH. Other methods were siderite being separated prior to reverse flotation or inventing flotation agents capable of effectively activating or depressing siderite.

An iron ore contains specularite and hematite which are its main iron minerals. And its main gangue minerals are specularite, part of the clay material and a small amount of quartz.Tests are made on the ore by adopting processes including gravity separation, high intensity magnetic separation, high intensity magnetic-gravity separation and high intensity magnetic - reverse flotation. The test results show that the separation process of high intensity magnetic-reverse flotation can obtain an iron concentrate grading about 66.62% at a recovery of 58.38％ from an iron ore assaying around 35.00% iron, rather good metallurgical performances.

In order to enhance the quality of iron concentrate from magnetic separation, reverse-flotation technology is often applied in iron ore dressing plant. However, this technology has disadvantages in operating cost, energy consumption and environmental protection (Zhao Chunfu, Wu Jianghua &Wang Hui ,2005). Developing innovative equipment to process magnetite ore more-effectively is a way to get rid of these disadvantages of reverse flotation and improve the quality of iron concentrate. This paper describes the development of Complex Flashing-Field Magnetic Cleaner, a new kind of equipment based on the principle of combination of separation in magnetic field and separation in gravity field (Hao Shuhua & Jiang Wenli,2002). This innovative equipment possesses a tailor-made magnetic system and has the characteristics of a magnetic field which can strengthen the formation of magnetic agglomerations and the dispersion of gangue minerals to improve the quality of separation. The automatic control system developed specifically for this equipment can further increase the accuracy of separation and stabilize the process. Test results showed that this equipment is reliable in operation, economically beneficial and it has large potential of application.
