Indian low grade iron ores mostly contain quartz, gibbsite, and clay as the major impurities.Depending upon the ore characteristics, in many instances froth flotation has to be used to recover the hematite and other iron oxides from the ground ores. In this context, the difference in silica and alumina content in low grade iron ores is brought to bear on the prospects of iron …

synthetic iron oxides from aqueous solutions in-situ. Another goal was to elucidate the mechanism of adsorption of different collector reagents on iron oxides and to study the stability of the surface complexes formed with the aim of identifying means to reduce the contamination of the iron oxide surface with flotation collector.
Generally, during the flotation process, silicon-adsorbed terpenic oil attached to the bubbles and floated upward into the froth layer, thus continuously leaving silicate tailings in the cell. Thus, the silicon concentrate can be recovered more efficiently from the MG-Si refined slag by using terpenic oil as the surfactant.

The flotation process and related flotation cells are widely used for treating metallic and nonmetallic ores and in addition, it is receiving an ever widening application in other industries. A greater tonnage of ore is treated by flotation than by any other single process. Practically all the metallic minerals are being recovered by the flotation process and the range …
The surface of silicon was hydrophobic after HF treatment, allowing the enhanced recovery of silicon, and consequently, the separation of silicon and the silicate. Using flotation, LIU et al [17] determined that the recovered silicon powder (72.12% in purity) mainly contained elemental Si and low contents of Ca, Al, O, and C. Together with the ...

The Concorde Cell is a high-intensity pneumatic flotation cell dedicated to fines and ultrafines. Its development by Professor Graeme Jameson and later on by was driven by two considerations: a reduction in bubble size and an increase in the shear rate and energy dissipation rate increases the particle–bubble collision and attachment efficiencies of fine …

The use of column flotation was considered for the "reverse flotation" of iron ore, where the gangue (quartz) was recovered in the froth product. This use of the froth for carrying the gangue mineral rather than carrying the valuable concentrate significantly changes the operational requirements of the column. The objective of this work was to determine which of several …
