1. Introduction. Iron ores are important feedstock materials for ironmaking and steelmaking [1].Most iron ores in the earth crust are in the form of hematite (Fe 2 O 3) or magnetite (Fe 3 O 4).These valuable minerals are often associated with gangue minerals such as quartz and silicate minerals [2].Low grade iron ores cannot be used directly in the blast …
The hematite recovery was decreased to 1.05%, 0.50% and 19.90% at the dosage of 140 mg/L for NS, WS and G50, respectively. In addition, it was observed that the WS exhibited the most significant depressing impact on hematite recovery, followed by NS and then G50. The results indicate that starch type had a great effect on hematite flotation.
During the reverse flotation of quartz from hematite, cationic reagent dodecylamine (DDA) is generally used as a collector for quartz flotation while native starch is widely applied as a depressant to inhibit the hematite flotation [11].DDA consists of hydrophilic amino groups that easily attach to the quartz surface, and its hydrophobic carbon-chain groups make quartz …

The present investigation was initiated to examine the significance and role of polysaccharides in the reverse flotation of iron ore. Since hematite is already hydrophilic at alkaline pH, where reverse flotation is taking place, the role of polysaccharides should be considered with respect to amine adsorption and maintaining hematite in a hydrophilic surface …
Wet gravity separation and froth floatation techniques for rare earth elements beneficiation from monazite ore in Jordan ... with 18% Na 2 O, 60% Silicic acid) was used as a depressant since it improves the REO upgrade by reducing the recovery of hematite and quartz gangue minerals [28,35]. A dosage of 1000 g/t of oleic acid (produced by Sigma ...
Given the gradual increase in the chlorite content of hematite ores, pulp properties seriously deteriorate during flotation. The traditional anion reverse flotation of hematite cannot effectively eliminate the effects of chlorite, leading to a significant decrease in the total Fe (TFe) grade of the concentrate. In this work, the effect of sodium alginate on the reverse flotation of …
To understand why hematite of different genesis behave diversely in flotation systems, this study assesses the flotation response at pH 5 of bulk (morphology, texture, Crystal Preferential Orientation (CPO)) plus interfacial (surface area, zeta potential, immersion enthalpy, contact angle, induction time) characteristics of species formed under distinct metamorphic …

This paper studies in a detailed manner the selective flocculation and flotation of fine hematite with the PAAS to separate the fine hematite from quartz using NaOL as the collector and probes deeply the mechanism for interaction between the PAAS and hematite.
In this work, the effect of sodium alginate on the reverse flotation of hematite was systematically investigated. Flotation tests of artificially mixed ores were conducted, and the …
The variation of the electrophoretic mobility of hematite as a function of pH in the presence of various concentrations of oleate is shown in Fig. 3.As can be seen in Fig. 3, the PZC of this hematite occurs at about pH 8.3, in agreement with the previously reported results Han et al., 1973, Raghavan and Fuerstenau, 1974.This value is also in good accordance with the fact …
The depression of hematite in the reverse flotation system of oleate-starch-hematite was investigated at the atomic level by atomic force microscopy (AFM) combined …
The recovery of hematite was close to zero when the starch dosage was more than 1 mg/L. Therefore, adding a very small starch dosage (1 mg/L) can completely inhibit the floating of a single hematite mineral. The flotation performance of DHDAB was further studied by the artificially mixed minerals separation test.
The flotation test led to a partial flotation of quartz into the froth products, reducing the grade of hematite direct flotation concentrate, which is consistent with industrial production.
Based on the surface difference of hematite and quartz in solution, a hydroxyl-containing polyamine cationic surfactant was designed and screened with the assistant of computer simulation (molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) calculation) to enhance the separation efficiency in the reverse flotation system of hematite ore.
The use of small quantities of polyacrylic acid (PAA) was found to significantly improve the flotation of fine-sized hematite particles at pH 4.1 and 0.001 M NaCl with sodium dodecylsulfonate (SDS). Low polymer dosages before collector addition aid flotation by forming flocs of primary particles, but excess polymer results in low flotation yields due to surface …

A novel stepped flotation technique is discussed for the treatment of carbonate-rich iron ores. The necessity of desliming to enable effective flotation is discussed in detail.
Starch is a versatile natural polysaccharide that exists as semicrystalline granules. It consists of two major components: amylose, which is mainly linear, and amylopectin, which is highly branched (Junejo et al., 2022).When starch is added to a hematite reverse flotation system, it can selectively interact with hematite and inhibit the misreporting of iron to the froth …
