ABSTRACT Recently, beneficiation of iron from low-grade ores with high impurities has been a matter of discussion. Flotation is one of the most effective technologies for the upgrading of low-grade, finely grained iron ores. This method can also be applied to reduce the impurities content in magnetite concentrates obtained using wet …

When introduced to the iron ore reverse flotation systems, starch can not only render the iron oxide surface hydrophilic as a depressant, but also flocculate the fine iron oxide to form larger ...
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 impact of the zeta potential and surface chemistry on flotation and deslime is also discussed. The aim of this paper is to provide a well-detailed, well-referenced source for the current status of iron ore flotation, and thus provide a useful guide to its future development and to further improve flotation performance for iron ore.
In over half a century's practice in the iron ore industry, froth flotation has been established as an efficient method to remove impurities from iron ore. In this …
1. Introduction. Flotation is usually employed to remove silicate as the main impurities from many ore types, especially iron ores. Iron oxides can be concentrated either by direct flotation, using anionic collectors, or reverse flotation of siliceous gangue with both cationic and anionic collectors [2], [1].Studies showed that the flotation …
It covers different types of collecting agents used in reverse iron ore flotation, the surface characteristics of minerals commonly present in iron ores (e.g., iron oxides, quartz, alumina-bearing ...
C2+ activation of silica) whereby the iron-bearing minerals are depressed. Much effort has been devoted to developing flotation processes for treating iron ores, particularly of fine-grained hematite varieties, but there are only few plants which are employing flotation on commercial scale for processing of iron, ore. The most noted
ciated with iron ore are alumina, silica, phosphorous, sulphur in dif- ferent forms, which are given below in Table 1 . Most of the iron ores are found in oxide form except pyrite, pyr-
The presence of some impurities in addition to quartz in iron ore, aluminium silicates, and minerals containing phosphorus impair productivity in the steel industry and have an impact on iron ore …
The beneficiation of low-grade iron ores is a key research and development topic in the mineral processing industry. The gradual exhaustion of high-grade iron ore reserves, and rising consumer iron and steel demand globally necessitate efficient low-quality iron ore beneficiation to meet steelmaking quality requirements. This …
The recovery of iron from the screw classifier overflow slimes by direct flotation was studied. The relative effectiveness of sodium silicates with different silica-to-soda mole ratios as depressants for silica and silicate bearing minerals was investigated. Silica-to-soda mole ratio and silicate dosage were found to have significant effect on the …

Kaolinite is a common gangue mineral in iron ore and sodium silicate has been used widely as a dispersant of silicate gangue minerals including kaolinite in various iron-ore flotation methods over a wide range of pH. Its actual dispersive effect on kaolinite under iron-ore flotation conditions has received very limited attention, however. The …
The significant applications of iron ore flotation are reviewed along with an abbreviated discussion on theory and reagent use. Problems or conditions which have militated against a widespread adoption of the flotation process by the iron ore industry, are discussed in contextual relationship to supply, economics, alternatives, and process …
This method can be classified in direct flotation when the iron oxides are floated or reverse flotation when the silica's gangue are floated, Houot (1983 Normally the reverse flotation with amine is used, Iwasaki (1983) and Numela & Iwasaki (1986): The amine is the only cationic collector that is used by industries in reverse iron ore flotation.
The work of the researchers on iron ore flotation is basically focused on achieving selectivity through different collectors and depressants, with other reagents contributing towards an enabling pulp environment. 3.1.

Flotation studies of naturally occurring iron ores further established the fact that it is easier to upgrade the iron values from a high silica ore compared to a high alumina ore. It was possible to produce an overall iron concentrate containing 62% Fe with 86% recovery for a silica bearing ore, but the grade and recovery of an alumina bearing ...
Reverse flotation of iron ore is now drawing more attention in iron ore industry as an efficient beneficiation process (Ma et al., 2011, Filippov et al., 2010, Araujo et al., 2005, Houot, 1983). In reverse cationic flotation, silica and silicates are floated after depressing the iron oxide by suitable reagents such as starch, dextrin, and CMC.
