Impurity Removal in the Reverse Flotation of Iron Ore
Vale is the largest iron ore producer in the world. Since the 1970s, Vale has been using reverse cationic flotation to remove siliceous impurities from its iron ores. Whilst this flotation process has operated effectively for many years, it suffers from the problems of high reagent costs and high metal loss.In 2010, CSIRO investigated the use of a reverse anionic flotation process …

Froth Flotation Process
The Froth Flotation Process is about taking advantage of the natural hydrophobicity of liberated (well ground) minerals/metals and making/playing on making them hydrophobic (water-repel) individually to carefully separate them from one another and the slurry they are in. For this purpose we use chemicals/reagents: Frothers (MIBC) is what allows the …

The flotation has been successfully applied to process the iron ore for the particle size (Ps) from 10 µm up to 150 µm. The presence of the slimes (Ps < 10 µm) is harmful on the reverse flotation of quartz, so they are usually prior removed by hydrocyclones. The main effects of the presence of slimes on the flotation are related to the increase on reagents …

Iron Ore Processing, General
In iron ore flotation process, air is bubbled through a suspension of fine iron ore in water to which a small quantity of flotation reagent is added. This reagent modifies the surface of either the iron oxide or the principle gangue component, normally silica, so that these particles attach themselves to the air bubbles and are carried to the ...
