In addition, a mature open circuit flotation process for an actual graphite ore was employed, as shown in Fig. 11, to further compare the flotation performance of emulsified kerosene with pristine kerosene. The raw feeding was a fine flake-type graphite ore from Burma with an average FC content of 26%.
Pickering emulsions use nanoparticles to reduce the amount of emulsifiers and generate environmentally friendly reagents; this can be employed in different processes. However, there are no published reports on the application of Pickering emulsions in mineral beneficiation by flotation separation. Collector emulsification is an effective way to …
The pH value of the graphite ore slurry will affect the selectivity of kerosene. The flotation process can not achieve a good effect when the PH value is neutral, and a good recovery can be ...
The graphite ore was subjected to x-ray diffraction studies for the mineralogical phase analysis to identify non-graphite minerals. ... To determine the effect of collector type and dosage on graphite flotation, diesel oil, kerosene and n-dodecane were tested. The results are shown in Fig. 8. Figure 8. Effect of collector type (type (frother ...
The grade of natural aphanitic graphite ore is approximately 50–70%, which is generally higher than that of flake graphite ... China. The ash content of the raw graphite ore was 13.02%. Kerosene (analytical reagent; Sinopharm Group Co. Ltd., China) was used as the flotation collector, Span 80 and Polysorbate 80 (Aladdin Reagent Co. Ltd ...
1 Altmetric. Metrics. Abstract. A novel and simple flotation technique has been developed to prepare high-purity graphite from impure graphite. In this method, a suspension of pristine powdered...
The lower grade graphite ore from western Australia was beneficiated by Zhang et al., in 2015 using pine oil, kerosene and lime as flotation reagents [168]. Chinmoyo et al., in 2020 studied the depression effect of normal and oxidized starch during flotation of graphite ore mixed with copper ore i.e., chalcopyrite [174]. The research …
The flaky graphite shows a low density and a strong hydrophobicity and is flaky so it cannot be completely wetted by water. Therefore, the wetting heat cannot be accurately measured by using water as the wetting liquid. Through testing, it can be found that kerosene can wet flaky graphite and thus kerosene was selected as the wetting …
Abstract: As a pre-treatment method of refractory gold ore, carbonaceous matter (C-matter) flotation was investigated with multi-stage flotation by rougher, scavenger, and cleaner stages. Different dosages of kerosene and MIBC (4-Methyl-2-pentanol) were applied and the optimum dosage was selected by testing in each …
The low-grade calcareous graphite ore contains 14.5% Fixed Carbon (FC), 71.82% ash, and 13.68% volatile matter plus moisture content. The primary liberation size, 210 µm was determined by the ...
The hydrophobic bonds between liquid paraffin and graphite surface are more accessible than kerosene. Therefore, the trapping performance of liquid paraffin is better than that of kerosene for graphite ore, with the evidence that the recovery rate of …

The contact angle of graphite (43.25°) would be increased when conditioned with kerosene (45.90°). Graphite shows a hydrophilic mineral (43.25°) due to impurities; thus, kerosene could not be stably adsorbed on its surface, and the contact …
Abstract. Kerosene is a frequently-used collector in graphite flotation; however, its consumption substantially increases due to its poor dispersibility in water and the depletion of graphite resources. We prepared a novel water-in-oil type kerosene …

Amorphous graphite ore has a high grade (generally containing 60% to 80% carbon), but the particles of graphite ore are extremely small and often embedded in clay, making flotation separation impossible. Therefore, many graphite mines directly pulverize and grind the mined raw ore to sell graphite powder products. ... Collector: …

As a result, particles with the same charge repel each other and remain in a stable dispersion state. The collector kerosene acts on the mineral–water interface of flake graphite. The ore particles can be more firmly attached to the bubbles and float up by improving the hydrophobicity of graphite minerals [39].
