Reverse Flotation

Figure 9.10 presents a typical flow sheet for processing a magnetite ore using a combination of drum LIMS and reverse flotation. The ore is composed of magnetite and gangue minerals, which are mainly quartz. The flow sheet includes three stages of grinding and magnetic separation once again to reject quartz as early as possible.

Magnetite Flotation from Sanidine with Environmental …

In magnetite flotation studies, primary amine groups of PAMAM act as anionic collectors, while amide groups act as cationic collectors. While the flotation recovery of the commercial Aero 704 collector, which is widely used in magnetite flotation, decreases rapidly after pH 9, PAMAM's flotation recovery decreases slightly but its ...
