Fig. 1 (b) shows the flowsheet of the closed-circuit ore flotation test …
How to Lower Carbonate Hardness in Freshwater …
This can be a fantastic option for those who want to lower carbonate hardness without changing the pH value of the water. Another method involves adding hydrochloric acid to the water, which reacts with the calcium carbonate and forms calcium chloride and carbon dioxide. This leads to a decrease in carbonate hardness and is a …

Phosphate and Carbonate Selectivity
There is a novel American patent addresses this problem - flotation separation of apatite from carbonates such as dolomite in phosphate bearing ores. The patent describes a precipitation technique - in-situ precipitation of base metal sulphides (e.g. copper) onto the apatite surfaces - followed by the application of 'sulphide' as well as 'oxide ...

However, starch could depress the flotation of hematite. Flotation recovery of 98.10% for quartz could be achieved, when N23 concentration was 43.33 mg/L and starch concentration was 16.67 mg/L at ...
Effect mechanism of carbonaceous materials on the flotation …
However, only a few studies have been conducted on the properties of carbonaceous materials in lead–zinc ore flotation. The properties and adsorption performance of carbonaceous materials remain unclear. In this study, the closed-circuit flotation of bench-scale experiments shows that carbon pre-flotation can improve the …
The 11 Solubility Rules and How to Use Them
Predicting Outcomes. When a solute is mixed with a solvent, there are three possible outcomes: If the solution has less solute than the maximum amount it is able to dissolve (the solubility), it is a dilute solution.If the amount of solute is exactly the same as the solubility it is saturated. If there is more solute than is able to be dissolved, the excess …

Lime use and functionality in sulphide mineral flotation: A …
Highlights. •. Lime plays a critical role in flotation by controlling pulp chemistry and collector adsorption. •. Lime is the most economical and commonly used reagent for pH control in flotation. •. Ca 2+ ions in lime can enhance depression of minerals and flotation selectivity in a variety of ores. •.
The depression of pyrite in selective flotation by different …
While it is clear that flotation or depression depends upon the balance of hydrophobic and hydrophilic species on the surface, the finding above indicate that several ionic equilibria can modify pyrite surfaces only by a change in pH (He et al., 2005, López Valdivieso et al., 2005). In real ore systems, many ionic species can modify the ...
The Importance of pH in Flotation
The Importance of pH in Flotation. In flotation, pH control is a vital method to control selective mineral separation. A standard depressant that is used is an Alkali. An Alkali is any substance that when mixed with Acid will neutralize each other and form a new chemical substance called a BASE.
Flotation separation of carbonate from sulfide …
Reverse flotation of carbonate minerals from refractory gold-bearing sulfide ores requires the flotation of the carbonate minerals (calcite, dolomite, siderite, …
Talc Flotation An Overview
Such depressants also impair the flotation performance of other valuable minerals [24]. Some investigations have found that using ultrasonic treatment can further improve the …
1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles
no flotation can occur. Contact between particles and bubbles can be accomplished in a flotation cell such as the one shown schematically in Figure 5. Figure 5: Simplified schematic of a conventional flotation cell. The rotor draws slurry through the stator and expels it to the sides, creating a suction that draws air down the shaft of the stator.
Effects of Surfactin, a Promising Carbonate Ore Collector, on …
In carbonate flotation, oleate has been used for many years as a collector in industrial scale. Compared to sulfide minerals, the flotation of carbonate minerals requires more collector consumption and has lower yield and selectivity. It has been previously shown that surfactin provides higher yields in smaller amounts than oleate in …

The most noted
Role of sodium carbonate in scheelite flotation – A multi-faceted
Abstract. Even though sodium carbonate is a reagent frequently used in flotation, its role is mostly described as a buffering pH modifier and a pulp dispersant. In the case of scheelite flotation, literature has shown that sodium carbonate improves flotation performance but little is said as to selectivity against gangue minerals.
