The micro-flotation tests revealed that there was little difference in the flotation of feldspar and quartz at pH 2, using H2SO4 as pH regulator. After HF pretreatment, the floatability of feldspar significantly increased while the floatability of quartz showed no change. HF pretreatment resulted in leaching of SiO2 and enrichment …

Flotation responses of quartz and feldspar in 20 mg/l diamine solution (PDP) and as a function of various depressants (concentration: 5.10-4M). It can be seen in Figure 2 that it is evident the difference in floatability of minerals in the flotation cell in presence of EDTA and the best quartz feldspar separation are obtained at pH of around 2.

ABSTRACT As we all know, sodium oleate (NaOL) is usually used as a collector for oxidized minerals, but in this study, it is used as an activator for feldspar to separate from quartz. Therefore, the adsorption mechanism, topography, and configurations of NaOL on the quartz and feldspar surface were investigated using X …

Flotation experiments performed on a quartz-feldspar mixture demonstrate that quartz can be floated selectively from feldspars in diluted solutions of hydrofluoric …

The flotation tests demonstrated that the best process conditions for the flotation of iron-bearing minerals, such as mica, from quartz and feldspar are a pH of 8.3, a mixing ratio of NaOL/BHA/A CO of 3:1:0.05, and a dosage of 300 g/t.

Effects of Ca(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), and Fe(III) on the flotation separation of spodumene from feldspar and quartz were investigated.. Ca(II), Mg(II), and Cu(II) selectively improved the flotation of spodumene, whereas Fe(III) showed strong activation ability but low selectivity toward spodumene.. At a pH of approximately 7, Ca(II) and …

The effect of hydrofluoric acid (HF) pretreatment on flotation of feldspar and quartz using dodecylamine (DDA) as collector was investigated by micro-flotation, zeta potential, pyrene fluorescence ...

As shown in Table 5, it was easier for C 12 H 22 BrO 2-, Ca 2+, and Mg 2+ to adsorb on spodumene than on feldspar and quartz; therefore, Ca(II) and Mg(II) facilitated the flotation separation of spodumene from feldspar and quartz. However, the adsorption of Fe(III) and Cu(II) on the three minerals was complex.

Abstract The flotation process and magnetic separation are the most common methods for feldspar beneficiation containing approximately 0.4% Fe2O3 and 0.04% TiO2. A model MIH (13) 111-5 Induced Roll dry high-intensity magnetic separator was used in this investigation to produce high-quality feldspar concentrate, and …

1. Introduction. Spodumene is one of the common hard rock lithium resources which shows reliable industrial value [1], [2].Feldspar and quartz are the main gangues associated with spodumene [3], [4].Flotation is the most common method used to concentrate spodumene, especially to concentrate complex or low grade spodumene …

Micro-flotation results indicated that 81.60% quartz was floated with both 5 × 10 −4 mol/L of CaCl 2, 2.5 × 10 −4 mol/L of NaOL and 3.0 × 10 −5 mol/L of DDA at pH 9.0, however, less than 10% of quartz was recovered without adding Ca 2+ or only using CaCl 2 and NaOL. AFM imaging revealed that Ca 2+ could adsorb on quartz in patches, which …

Flotation is the most effective way to separate quartz and feldspar, but conventional flotation is usually achieved under acidic or alkaline conditions, which causes pollution to the environment.

Quartz and feldspar are usually exist in symbiosis in nature, and they are difficult to be separated effectively by conventional physical methods owing to their similarities in crystal structures and surface characteristics. Flotation is the most resultful method, and especially, flotation with hydrofluoric acid (HF) is the most efficient way. …
