True flotation recoveries with varying amine/g quartz, where the collector-frother amine may be amine-coated NBs alone or assisted by NBs generated in pure water, were compared with blank tests, in the absence of NBs. The flotation study evaluated size-to-size fractions from fine (−20 µm) to coarse (up to 150 µm) particles and their mixtures.
Quartz is commonly found alongside apatite as one of the main gangue minerals [10].Quartz differs from apatite in two key aspects: the absence of active sites, specifically referring to metal ions, on its surface and the higher electronegativity of its surface [11], [12], [13].Utilizing anionic collectors like fatty acids allows for the successful direct flotation …

Froth flotation is a widely applied method to improve the quality and reduces impurity of concentrates depending on the significant difference in their surface physical and chemical properties [1], [2].During flotation, it is expected that a kind of mineral adheres to air bubbles and floats upward into the froth layer, and other minerals remain in the pulp as sink …

However, in flotation, the pulp is a complex system containing many ions and compounds from minerals dissolution or flotation agents. Ca 2+, Mg 2+, Cu 2+, Pb 2+, Zn 2+, and Fe 3+ are the most common and inevitable cations in flotation solutions [6], [7], [8].The presence of these metal ions could facilitate the flotation of quartz, thereby worsening the flotation …

Traditionally, HF has performed two functions in the production of high purity quartz concentrates: Firstly, it has been used to activate feldspar prior to its flotation by amine collectors – thus enabling the separation of feldspar and quartz at low pH where the zeta-potentials of the former remains negative while that of the latter becomes close to neutral (Buckenham and …
However, as the starch concentration increased to 5 mg/L, the quartz recovery decreased slightly by 1.73% and maintained a high value of over 96.10%. These results indicated that starch had a remarkable depression impact on the hematite flotation but hardly depressed the quartz flotation when using the collector DEOSA.

Quartz is a common associated impurity in minerals. It has been widely studied due to its flotation. For instance, Savas [5] and Cao et al. [6] deduced that using metal ions as activator, the NaOL collector has similar performance to cationic flotation in the collection of quartz, and it has a higher selectivity.
1. Introduction. As the principal input material in industries of steelmaking, coating and durable pigments, hematite is an oxidized iron mineral ore with a formula of Fe 2 O 3 (Pauliuk, Milford, Müller, & Allwood, 2013).The major gangue mineral is quartz in oxidized iron ore, and reverse flotation is the most common method to beneficiate iron ore containing silica …

Recently, the development of mixed anionic/cationic collectors in the flotation separation of lithium-containing ores has become a research focus [28], [29].The synergistic effect of mixed anionic/cationic collectors can improve the floatability of target minerals [30], [31], [32], and the flotation separation of lepidolite and quartz could be realized at neutral pH [16].
Currently reverse flotation is one of the most common industrial beneficiation methods for separating limonite from gangue minerals (Shrimali et al., 2018, Deng et al., 2021).In this process, the iron ore remains in the flotation tank as a non-floating fraction, while the silicate minerals float up to form a froth layer with the help of attached bubbles.
