This study demonstrated the importance of appropriate flotation conditions and reagent dosage for the separation of standard manganese concentrates from low-grade manganese ores. The research object used Unagad manganese ore located in Dornogovi province. The main mineral of manganese ores was pyrolusite (MnO2). According to the chemical element analyses, the content of manganese in the primary ore was Mn-17.31%. XRD analyses revealed minerals such as quartz, pyrolusite, albite, anorthite, anorthoclase, orthoclase, and hausmannite. This study conducted the beneficiation of manganese ore by the froth flotation method. Manganese ore beneficiation tests were performed for the flotation method under the following conditions: the collector dosage with 900 g/t, 1100 g/t, 1300 g/t, 1500 g/t, and 1700 g/t, the dosage of the depressant as 570 g/t, 670 g/t, 770 g/t, and 870 g/t, and the frother with 900 g/t, pH value 8, the grade of -0.074 mm was 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% respectively. Beneficiation tests performed in the optimum conditions resulted in concentrate with Mn = 32.37%, the recovery was 57.33%, and the yield was 30%. As a result of the flotation enrichment of manganese ore, а concentrate containing 32.37% manganese was obtained.

Rapid reduction roasting of low grade manganese carbonate ore by coal and biomass fuels from Hunan, China was investigated. Magnetic separation behaviors and magnetic properties of raw manganese ore and roasted manganese ores were analyzed. After reduction by coal and biomass fuels, the manganese ores demonstrate a new Mn-Fe oxide phase, showing obvious mixed magnetic behaviors of ferromagnet and paramagnet, and the magnetic susceptibilities of roasting ores rapidly increase to almost two orders of magnitude in comparison of the raw ores. The results show that magnetizing roasting technology could enhanced the magnetic properties of the manganese ores about two orders of magnitude higher than raw manganese ore at low roasting temperature. Thereby, we deduce that the weak magnetic separation combined with high magnetic separation could be adequate for roasted manganese ore to satisfy the requirement of electrolytic manganese industry. Application of biomass in manganese ore roasting process is promising to the effective use of biomass and for decreasing the consumption of fossil fuels in the manganese industry.

In this paper, the study of leaching mechanism from low-grade manganese ores by using ternary complex reductant of hydrogen peroxide, glucose and cellulose was discussed. Quantitative and qualitative analysis were conducted about original manganese and manganese slag by XRD and FTIR. XRD quantitative analysis showed that manganese content in manganese ore is about 11%; The FTIR spectra qualitatively analyzed that part broken of the C=C bond in the manganese samples leads to divalent manganese be released.

This study discussed the effects on leaching rate of from low-grade manganese ore using three reductants (Hydrogen peroxide, Glucose, Cellulose). The results showed: great increase of extracting rate can be obtained in the process of leaching by adding a small amount of reductant. the leaching rate of two valence manganese can reach a maximum of 90.76%, using hydrogen peroxide as the reductant.

Flotation, magnetic separation and leaching experiments have been carried out for the beneficiation of low-grade manganese ore. The results indicated that flotation and magnetic separation could improve the grade of Mn concentrate while the recovery was lower. Better recovery of Mn could be achieved by leaching on optimum conditions, 91.78% of Mn could be recovered by 30 minutes leaching with 25g of sulphuric acid at the liquid/solid ratio of 3:1.

Abstract In general, precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is used as a mineral filler in paper industries; while natural calcite (CaCO3) ore is also suitable for industrial use if it is a finely ground high-grade material. Naturally, calcite is found in the form of high- or low-grade ores and it is one of the most widely distributed industrial minerals on the earth’s crust. However, it is rarely found in its pure form and is generally associated with other gangue minerals; the type and percentage of which vary from one deposit to another. These minerals are generally separated by flotation and/or magnetic separation (in the case of iron impurities). Calcite ores typically contain metal sulphide, silicate, or other calcium-containing impurity minerals, which can be removed by flotation. A tremendous amount of research has been performed on refining the flotation process for calcite ores and designing the reagents (specifically, collectors) to increase the efficiency of the process. Metal sulphide/silicate impurity minerals can be removed by the froth-flotation process using amines and xanthate collectors. Alternatively, fatty acids are used as collectors to float calcium-type minerals directly from the ore. This paper reviews the industrial practices and fundamental research related to collectors surrounding calcite ore flotation. This article presents and reviews collectors for the beneficiation of high-grade calcite ores which have been reported in the literature in order to assist judicial choice of collecting agents in flotation.

A bench-scale beneficiation study was performed on low-grade complex lead-zinc ore of Duddar area, District Lasbela, Balochistan Province, Pakistan. The polymetallic ore under investigation contains galena and sphalerite as valuable minerals of lead and zinc. The low-grade ore was upgraded by selective sequential froth flotation technology to recover both minerals. An effort was made to investigate the effect of important variables on grade and recovery of concentrates and to design the process flow sheet. Different parameters of flotation process such as particle size of the feed, pH and % solids of the pulp, speed of impeller, type of reagents (collectors, frothers, regulators and modifiers) and their quantities, conditioning time and flotation time were optimized to attain maximum grade and recovery of respective concentrates. The rougher concentrates obtained were subjected to one regrinding and two cleaning operations to achieve higher-grade concentrates of both metals. Bench-scale flotation tests show that it is possible to obtain a lead concentrate assaying 65.24% Pb with recovery rate of 81.32% and a zinc concentrate containing 55.63% Zn content with recovery rate of 80.28%. Both the concentrates meet the specifications required for metallurgical and chemical grades.

A low-grade graphite ore originating from Kael area, Shounter Valley, Azad Kashmir, assaying 8.90% graphite content was upgraded by froth flotation technique to produce a commercial grade graphite concentrate. Mineral phases present in the ore were identified by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The variables of flotation process such as particle size of the feed, pH of the pulp, % solids of the pulp, speed of impeller, type and quantity of collecting and frothing agents, conditioning time and froth collecting time were optimized to get maximum grade and recovery of graphite mineral. The pH of the pulp was adjusted with sodium carbonate. Kerosene oil was used as collector while pine oil as frother respectively. Sodium silicate was employed as depressant. The grade of the final graphite concentrate produced was 85.80% C with overall recovery of 86.00%. Its surface morphology was studied using SEM-EDX technique while grain size by laser particle size analyzer.

The low grade of copper deposits and the use of the froth flotation process have caused excessive tailing production. In recent years, experts have looked for new alternative methods to improve this situation. Black copper minerals are abundant resources not exploited by large-scale copper mining and possess high Mn concentrations. On the other hand, manganese nodules are submarine resources and show high concentrations of Cu, Ni, Fe, and, mainly, Mn. However, both mineral resources are refractory to conventional leaching processes, and so a reducing agent is necessary for their treatment. We studied the use of tailings obtained from the flotation of foundry slags with a high content of Fe3O4 as reducing agents at different MnO2/tailings ratios and H2SO4 concentrations. Mn dissolution was compared in marine nodule and black copper minerals samples. It was found that higher Mn dissolutions are obtained from marine nodules, likely due to the acid consumption created by Cu dissolution from black copper minerals. The remnant elements in manganese nodules were leached under an oxidant condition.
