The present invention, named Bunge/Fosfertil process, is applicable at different lithologies of phosphate ore with carbonated-silica matrix from igneous and sedimentary sources, i.e., consists of comminutioning the ore by crushing, homogenization, milling and disliming, prior to the apatite flotation. The dislimed and milled ore pulp with solids concentration above 40%, being initialy ...
Examples of froth flotation processes are numerous; however, the literature available on the negative effect of fluoride ions is limited to the flotation of apatite minerals from phosphate rock.
Phosphate is recovered mainly by direct flotation from apatite-bearing ores of these igneous deposits. Fatty acid collectors (tall oils, vegetable oils and their derivatives) are used, in general, for apatite flotation (Filippova et al., 2014).Corn starches are utilised in depressing gangue minerals in all Brazilian concentrators (Guimarães et al., 2005).
Iron concentration tailings contain many valuable minerals, including apatite, which is not currently being recovered despite its use to make fertilizers and chemicals. This article proposes a flotation circuit to recover …

Mechanical flotation cells can be broken down into two broad categories based on how air is introduced to the cell. In a self aspirated flotation cell air is introduced to the slurry, the vacuum created by the rotorusing . In a forced air flotation cell air is generated external to the cell by a low pressure blower,, and pumped down the

Established in 1978, the current main mineral-processing route for the Brazilian phosphate rock igneous deposits consists in a direct flotation using alkaline-saponified fatty …
In this paper, the energy input by the agitation on apatite flotation was investigated. The influence of pulp agitation in the flotation rate of particles with different sizes and two dosage...
Flotation is the most essential method for the concentration of phosphate reserves and, hence, the production of apatite concentrate. With the reduction of high-grade reserves and the necessity of exploiting low-grade phosphate ores, many efforts have been made to use different chemical reagents alone and their combinations as collectors for apatite flotation and achieving high …
The apatite sample used in the present studies was of P 2 O 5 41.95% purity by chemical analysis and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the sample was listed in Fig. 2.The massive apatite samples were crushed, hand-sorted, ground in agate mortar and dry-screened to collect the fraction of −75+45 mm which was used for micro-flotation and a −45 mm fine …
Micro-flotation tests for dolomite and apatite with different geological origins were carried out using an XFG-Ⅱ flotation machine with a stirring speed of 1700 rpm. The mineral suspension was prepared by adding 3.0 g of apatite (or dolomite) to 40 mL of deionized water in the micro-flotation cell.
The separation of the desired mineral (apatite) from impurities (gangue minerals) and nonphosphate materials in phosphate rock requires grinding and beneficiation units [8] for some operations such as froth flotation [9].Flotation, a physicochemical separation process that exploits the difference in the surface properties of valuable minerals and unwanted gangue …
Effective solids suspension is a necessary precondition for particle collection, and solids suspension is largely dependent on the hydrodynamics of the flotation cell This study attempted to correlate the status of the suspension of apatite particles of different sizes in a Denver laboratory flotation cell versus the impeller rotational speed (N) adopted to operate the …
Micro-flotation experiments revealed PS's distinct depression effect on apatite while minimally impacting calcite. Floatability rates of apatite and calcite were 90.45 % and 92.68 %, respectively. Introducing 10 mg/g PS drastically reduced apatite recovery to <19 %, while calcite recovery remained at 78.80 %.
Iron concentration tailings contain many valuable minerals, including apatite, which is not currently being recovered despite its use to make fertilizers and chemicals. This article proposes a flotation circuit to recover apatite from tailings generated by mining in Chile, based on laboratory tests and using the "Split Factor" method. The iron tailings were characterized by …
1. Introduction. The agitation in a conventional flotation machine is promoted by the rotor-stator system with the turbulence suspending the particles and drawing the pulp through the stator to disperse the bubbles, promoting the contact of bubbles and particles (Schubert, 1999).The typical industrial range of energy input using mechanically agitated flotation cells is 1.0-2.0kW/m 3 …
The results indicated that nanobubble flotation of the as-received apatite tailings (−850 μm) was an attractive option that can minimize the CO 2 footprint of mineral processing by eliminating regrinding. The nanobubbles generated with surfactants (collectors and frothers) …

The aeration mode of the flotation machine was self-priming, with a 50 mL flotation cell and a fixed spindle speed of 1500 rpm. The flotation process was as follows: 2 g of pure minerals and a certain amount of deionized water were added to the flotation cell; the volume of the slurry in the flotation cell was fixed at 40 mL.
Froth flotation has been widely used for mineral separation and beneficiation (Li et al., 2017, Nasirimoghaddam et al., 2020, Zhang et al., 2020) and is one of the most efficient methods for obtaining qualified apatite concentrates (Yang et al., 2020).It has been reported that more than 60% of the apatite minerals worldwide are beneficiated via flotation (Yang et al., 2021).
The most common method to concentrate apatite from carbonate phosphate ore is reverse configuration using fatty acids as collectors and inorganic acids as apatite depressants, such as H 2 SO 4 and H 3 PO 4.This work evaluates the process based on the separation between apatite and calcite by flotation, in bench and pilot scale, using carbon dioxide injected …
