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.

Role of silica and alumina content in the flotation of iron …

Fig. 2 (a) shows the flotation recoveries of gibbsite, clay and quartz as a function of DDA concentration at pH 7.0. It is observed that the floatability of quartz at this pH is far better than that of clay and gibbsite. The results indicate that it is possible to float up to 96% of the quartz at 60 g/t DDA concentration, while in the same set of …

Role of silica and alumina content in the flotation of iron ores

Indian low grade iron ores mostly contain quartz, gibbsite, and clay as the major impurities.Depending upon the ore characteristics, in many instances froth flotation has to be used to recover the hematite and other iron oxides from the ground ores. In this context, the difference in silica and alumina content in low grade iron ores is brought to …
