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.

The present study aimed at investigating the influence of the concentration of sodium silicate and sodium hexametaphosphate on the dispersion of an aqueous kaolinitic clay slurry regarding further use for the tape casting process. The zeta potential of the kaolinitic clay slurry matched the requirements for tape casting. The addition of magnesite in the kaolinitic slurries tended to increase the zeta potential towards the required limit values. Despite, the further addition of surfactants allowed improving the zeta potential in agreement with the tape casting conditions. Accordingly, the rheological behavior, under continuous and oscillatory flow conditions, of various mixtures of magnesite and a kaolinitic clay was studied. Regarding the pH and the zeta potential measurements, the E–F attraction prevailed at low pH value, and F–F or E–E attraction was predominant at high pH value. All slurries exhibited a shear thinning behavior, which was well-correlated by Herschel–Bulkley model. It appeared that the best stability for the kaolinitic clay slurries was obtained while using 0.4 mass% and 1.2 mass% of sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium silicate respectively. An increase in the magnesite concentration above 6 mass% led to a complex behavior with low cohesion energy due to the occurrence of soluble complexes.

Dispersion and settling behavior of goethite has been studied and effect of pH values on surface properties of goethite particles with /without dispersants has been discussed. A prerequisite for the successful flocculation is the stabilization of the system which is achieved by the good dispersion of particles. The effect of pH, sodium silicate (Na2SiO3), sodium hexametaphosphate (Na6P6O18) and sodium pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7), on the surface charges of goethite was studied. The IEP of natural goethite was found by measuring zeta potential at pH value of 6.6. With the use of sodium silicate the IEP of goethite moves to pH 4.95. An IEP could not be detected when the poly-phosphates were used and the surface charge is negative from pH 2 to pH 12. The relatively high zeta potential values indicate a fairly stable dispersion, especially when the sodium hexametaphosphate were used as dispersant.

This paper studies the effects of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSSNa) used as a depressant upon the separation of ilmenite from titanaugite through flotation when sodium oleate (NaOl) is used as a collector by performing single mineral flotation experiments. The depression mechanism of PSSNa on titanaugite flotation was studied by electrokinetic potential and adsorbed amount measurements together with FTIR and XPS detection. Single mineral flotation experiments show that PSSNa is a selective depressant for the separation of ilmenite and titanaugite via flotation with NaOl as the collector. The results of the adsorbed amount tests show that the biggest distinction is in terms of the amount of NaOl adsorbed on the surfaces of ilmenite and titanaugite; the amount is expanded from 2.28 × 10−7 to 9.34 × 10−7 mol/m2 when the dosage of PSSNa is 1 mg/L, as compared with no PSSNa, suggesting that PSSNa is a selective depressant when separating ilmenite and titanaugite through flotation. FTIR testing shows that chemisorption has occurred between the –SO3− groups of the molecular PSSNa and titanaugite surfaces. The results of further XPS testing reveal that PSSNa chemically interacts with Ca/Mg/Al/Fe on the titanaugite surface. The test results of FTIR in combination with XPS confirm that PSSNa stops NaOl from interacting with Mg, Fe, Al, and Ca on the titanaugite surface, and this outcome is the main reason for the widening of the adsorption quantity gap of NaOl on titanaugite and ilmenite surfaces, and titanaugite flotation is suppressed. The results of the comparison flotation testing on actual Panzhihua titanic iron ore (TiO2 grade: 15.63%) with titanaugite as the main gangue show that a better effect is obtained by replacing sodium silicate (SS) with PSSNa, and the recovery of TiO2 using PSSNa is higher than that when using sodium silicate. In a closed circuit flotation test, ilmenite concentrate is obtained with a TiO2 grade of 45.97% and a recovery of 76.32% by using PSSNa as a titanaugite depressant.

The research has conducted a experimental research on the issues in modifier of flotation process in a molybdenum ore concentrating mill in Inner Mongolia. The results show that: when the raw ore is grinded into 61% -200 meshes, which is the same to the site production ore, the sorting index is optimum in neutral magma condition; and for dispersing agent, the sorting effect of sodium silicate is better than sodium hexametaphosphate, and the confirmed sufficient quality of sodium silicate is 300g/t.

With an analysis on the structure of water-soluble sodium silicate and its polymerization, it was found that the poor stability of silicate drilling fluids lies in the relevance between the inherent nature and the pH value of sodium silicate. The modification of water-soluble sodium silicate in this paper was to improve its stability and keep the inhibitive property simultaneously. The a-olefin sulfonate (AOS) was employed as the modifer agent acted on the water-soluble sodium silicate monomer and oligomers. Furthermore, the modification mechanism was discussed through FTIR, Laser particle size, Zeta potential and SEM. A stable sodium silicate drilling fluids with better inhibitive property was obtained by the comparison of modified sodium silicate and unmodified ones.
