The trace element composition of olivine is a rapidly growing research area that has several applications of great potential. Mantle olivines can be distinguished from volcanic olivines by lower concentrations of Ca (<700 ppm), Ti (<70 ppm), and often Cr.The melting of pyroxenites derived from recycled ocean crust can be recognized in volcanic …
At present, industrial flotation process for ilmenite concentrate production is controlled within acidic pH region from about 6 to 2.5 in the roughing and cleaning stages, and this requires the collector to have a good capture ability even under strongly acidic conditions (Zhai et al., 2017). In Chinese deposits, titanaugite is the main gangue ...
time was 10 min. For the chromite flotation, the pH was lowered to 3 with H 2 S0 4 " The same reagents in quantities of 30 g/ton of collector and 10 g/ton of frother were used. In the cleaning stage the pH was changed to 5. The cleaner concentrate contained 22.8% Crp3' representing 60.6% re-covery. The flotation conditions and the metallurgical ...
Flotation has been used by mineral and chemical engineers for the separation and concentration of aqueous suspensions or solutions of a variety of minerals, coal, …
Olivine concentrate obeying the specifications of metallurgical applications could be obtained at suitable MIBC dosage and flotation time. Discover the world's research 20+ million members
The olivine grains were partially weathered to a mineral, probably serpentine, that was depleted in iron and magnesium and probably hydrated. The chromite content varied in the different size fractions and is listed in table 4. ... Flotation tests to concentrate chromite in the slimes from the pilot plant gravity circuit were successful on …
During the recovery of the valuable platinum group minerals and base metal sulphides in the Merensky Reef ore by flotation, a certain amount of naturally floatable gangue (NFG) is recovered, which dilutes the concentrate.Although talc is the only silicate mineral well known for it naturally floatable properties, the proportion of NFG recovered …
