Normally silica is floated using an amine as the flotation reagent. But "reverse" flotation using anionic collectors is also applicable to activated rock minerals (e.g., C2+ activation of silica) whereby the iron-bearing minerals are depressed. Much effort has been devoted to developing flotation processes for treating iron ores,

The highly competitive nature of the international iron ore market has forced producers to improve the quality of their pellets. The demand for low-acid pellets suitable for direct reduction has resulted in an increase in the number of plants utilizing reverse froth flotation for silica reduction.Column flotation is being favored for this service because …

DESHPANDE et al [23] made a study on the selection of cationic collector for reduction of silica in reverse flotation of Kudremukh iron ore, India. However, there is little or no evidence in the literature for the development and application of collectors for alumina reduction in the reverse flotation of iron ore fines to improve its grade.

Flotation is the most effective solution, both technologically and economically, when upgrading iron concentrates. Research regarding iron ore flotation began in 1931, demonstrating that reverse cationic flotation is a very efficient method for beneficiating oxidised iron ores. This method can also be applied to reduce the silica …

The results of flotation tests showed that sodium silicate performed better as depressant of iron oxide, but had little effect on silica flotation in the apatite- iron oxide- silica flotation system.

DA is one of the most used collectors in the reverse froth flotation of silicates from bauxite (Liu et al., 2015) and is also suitable for the reverse cationic flotation of high silica iron ore ...

In this research work, it was attempted to reduce the iron contents (Fe2O3) in silica sample which was provided from Shenin Silica Mine using conventional flotation. This silica contains 93.75% SiO2, 0.44% Fe2O3, 2.78% Al2O3, and 0.08% TiO2 and the

As reverse cationic flotation of iron ores is normally performed at alkaline pH around 9–10.5, where iron ores can be well depressed while kaolinite is not, it is …

An increase in the iron content of the concentrates is obtained with concomitant reduction in SiO2 and Al2O3 levels. Keywords: Iron ore, Cationic collector, Reverse Flotation, Selectivity index. 1. Introduction Most of the iron ore mines in India produce hematite ores and have washing plants to produce lumps as well as fines.

Iron ores can be concentrated either by direct anionic flotation of iron oxides or reverse cationic flotation of silica. In direct flotation, oleic acid or its sodium salt is the …
