This paper introduces the research on the beneficiation of a low-grade barite ore taken from Myanmar.Through the analysis of the ore properties and research on the flotation experiment, the optimum flotation conditions are determinedwhile the ore sample assays 64.32% BaSO4.Under the flotation conditions of the grinding fineness-200 meshes 80%, sodium oleate 800g / t and sodium silicate 500 g / t, “two-time roughing,one closed cleaningand open in the second cleaning operations” is applied, and two marketable barite concentrates can be obtained. The concentrate 1 and 2 contain 96.32% and 91.26%BaSO4 at the recoveries of 91.94% and 5.25%, respectively.

Beneficiation of a low-grade barite ore assaying 64.32% BaSO4 was conducted by flotation using sodium oleate and sodium silicate. The effect of grinding fineness, type and dosage of flotation reagent in roughing were investigated. Based on the optimum flotation conditions, a close circuit flowsheet was established. Finally, two barite concentrates assaying 96.32% and 91.26% BaSO4 can be obtained at the recovery of 91.94% and 5.25%, respectively, by applying two-time roughing and two-time cleaning operations.

Effect of grinding fineness and inhibitors on mixed flotation of low copper and nickel were studied and a new nickel inhibitor YS was used in the process of separation of copper and nickel. The results indicated that the high-quality mixed concentrate with the recoveries of Cu and Ni 76% and 65.6% and the grade of Cu and Ni were 4.66% and 4.3%, respectively, was got under the condition of sodium silicate (200 g/t), CMC (200 g/t), copper sulphate200 g/t, amyl xanthate 100 g/t and pine oil 30 g/t with the grinding fineness of-0.074mm80%. Then, Qualified Cu concentrate with the grade26.65% and recovery 55.62%, Qualified Ni concentrate with the grade26.65% and recovery 55.62%, respectively, were got by using the new nickel inhibitor YS in the separation flotation of copper and nickel.

Taking molybdenum tailings as the research object, the methods of recovering phlogopite on the base of comprehensive utilizations of other valuable minerals has been discussed. The best flotation condition includes that pulp density is 25%, the value of pH is 8.4, and the spindle speed of the batch flotation cell is 1850 r/min, sodium silicate is used as the silicate inhibitor, sodium oleate as collector, alkyl amine as the foaming agent. After cleaning and scavenging, the yield of the recovery and grade of concentrated phlogopite could be reached above 40% and 9.5%, and the yield of recovery and grade of scavenged phlogopite could be reached above 20% and 7.0%. The experimental research may provide the theoretical and experimental basis for phlogopite flotation from molybdenum tailings.

It is known that oxidation is one of the most common ways for penlandite to be introducted into tailing during traditional coarse-particle sulfide flotation. However, it could become much more complicated and challenging problems for the low-grade, fine-disseminated Cu-Ni sulfides containing Pt and Pd in Yunnan Mine, accompanied with more than 75% of the content of MgO in the ore sample is. Direct flotation tests had been conducted to extract the metallic values as much as possible by adding traditional depressants and collectors, such as carboxylmethyl cellulose, starch, sodium silicate, butyl xanthate, (BX), butyl ammonium dithophosphate (BA) and etc., the relatively satisfied recoveries of Cu, Ni, Pt and Pd in the concentrate from bench flotation tests were obtained, however, more than 30% of metallic values still lost in the slime. In this study, bench flotation tests for the ore sample fromYunnan Mine, micro-flotation tests of serpentines and pentlandite from Jinchuan Mine and their settling rate tests were conducted to figure out how the oxidation influence the recovery of the ultra-fine nickel sulfide. All the tests results pointed to the presence of over-oxidation on the ultra-fine nickel sulfide surface and lead to the loss of Ni containing Pt and Pd in the slime tailing. Some methods which tried to slow the speed of oxidation on mineral surface during grinding and flotation were introduced in order to recover the values before over-oxidation of sulfides; however, the slime coating of serpentines also may play an important role in disturbing the floatability of ultra-fine sulfide.

This article research a low grade ore in Jinping, it contain 0.634% nickel, 0.329% copper, 0.047% cobalt, 30.18% SiO2, and 19.72% MgO. The rude ore contain amount of gangue minerals such as chlorite, mica, quartz, feldspar, which are easily slimed and have undesirable effect on flotation. In order to decrease such negative effect, this article investigated a method by “desliming-flotation” test, flotation test. Finally find that direct flotation is a promising method when utilizing carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium silicate as combinatorial depressants. And obtained the grade of bulk concentrate is 2.96% with recovery 60.82%, the recovery increased 2.43% compare with “desliming-flotation” test.

The run-of-mine ore samples which have been used in the study were taken from a fluorite ore. The grade of fluorite was 28.65%. From the condition test, the optimal grinding fineness was-0.074mm accounted for 79.5%. The final optimal reagent system was A1B3C3D3E3 with comprehensive consideration. That is, sodium carbonate was 2000 g/t, sodium silicate was 1000 g/t, aluminum sulfate was 200 g/t, sodium hexametaphosphate usage was 1000 g/t, oleic acid dosage for 2000 g/t. Through the closed-circuit test of flotation, the final index was the fluorite grade of the concentrate was 97.69% and the recovery was 48.07%.

In this study, the single mineral flotation experiments of magnesite and its associated minerals including dolomite, serpentine, talc and quartz were conducted, and the influences of the dosage of collectors such as sodium oleate and lauryl amine, pH value and the influences of regulars such as sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium silicate on those minerals were researched. According to the results, a process to reduce the content of gangue minerals was proposed, which at first use lauryl amine as a collector to remove most talc and quartz and part of the dolomite and serpentine, and then use sodium oleate as a collector to separate magnesite from dolomite and serpentine. This is a theoretical reference for the beneficiation of magnesite.
