Flotation tests were performed in a modified Hallimond Tube. Each flotation test used 1.2 g of xenotime and the air flow rate was constant at 60 cm 3 per minute. Flotation tests were carried out for 3 minutes. The particle size of the xenotime particles used for flotation was in the range of +90-106 Izm.
The flotation performance (both recovery and kinetics) of ultrafine coal particles was said to be remarkably improved in the presence of nanobubbles; particle aggregates induced by nanobubble bridging has been recognized as one of the main contributors to …

The first flotation separation for the rejection of magnesite was reported by Doerner and Dwigh (1930s) [].Flotation of Mg carbonates is typically carried out by using fatty acids, since these collectors give insoluble complexes with all divalent cations [].Determination of the appropriate depressing reagents for sinking valuable minerals in the presence of collectors for carbonates is a ...
A continuous process called floatation, which uses water, various flotation chemicals, and compressed air, separates the ore into fractions. Depending upon the chemicals used, some minerals float to the surface and are removed in a of air bubbles, while others sink and are reprocessed.
Flotation-magnetic (FM) separation is a newly-developed technology for the economic recovery of rare earth elements from the Dalucao ore. The FM process selectively agglomerates the rare earth particles while separating them from gangue minerals by bubble flotation. The agglomeration of fine bastnaesite particles has been observed by optical ...

As mentioned before, froth flotation has become the most important and efficient method for lithium mineral processing [21], consequently it was the method applied to concentrate both lithium-rich pegmatites.

Since flotation is widely used to separate the values from the gangue, the particle size distribution of the particles leaving the grinding circuit is generally determined by the known capabilities of conventional flotation machines. Existing flotation machines work very well for sizes typically in the range of 50 to 150 μm.
The flotation of monazite and xenotime using sodium oleate as collector has been investigated using a modified Hallimond tube and also by a technique which measures particle-bubble adhesion strength.
The feature making emulsion flotation different from conventional flotation is the presence of a collector in the form of oil droplets, which must collide with mineral particles in order to enhance the probability of particle- to-bubble attachment. The process is based on selective wetting: the droplets of oil can adhere only to particles that ...

The iron ore can be enriched at approximately 70 % iron recovery through high-intensity magnetic separation by reducing the particle size to −0.074 mm accounting for 90 %–95 %, while the recovery of rare earth is only 10 % [4, 5]. Most of rare earth minerals are heaped as iron tailings without comprehensive utilization.
Talc is a naturally hydrophobic gangue mineral in most sulfide ores. However, talc has vast applications in the cosmetics, paper, and paint industries due to its high chemical stability, and its demand continues to grow. Since flotation is the most effective beneficiation technique for upgrading sulfides, the high hydrophobicity of talc has made its selective separation challenging.
Literature on the flotation of rare earth oxide minerals is a relatively limited. This is especially true with regard to fundamental flotation research, although, as the demand for rare earths continues to grow, the amount of research in the field is increasing rapidly. The primary rare earth minerals are bastnasite (Ce,La(FCO 3)), monazite (Ce ...

Fine rare earth particle flotation using cavitation column. HydroFloat flotation testing for coarse particle flotation Developed algorithm to predict 80% passing of grinding circuit at Canadian Royalties using artificial intelligence. Worked on high pulse voltage pre-treatment on ores. Worked on coarse particle flotation.
The flotation tailings were first completely mixed, and then they were divided repeatedly by the mixing-coning-quartering method to get an aliquot portion of approximately 1.2 kg. The portion was ground using a ball mill to ensure all the particle sizes were below 200 mesh.
The effect of pressure on fine particle entrainment was also studied because, with certain rare earth mineral ores, sufficient mineral liberation is not achieved at nominal flotation particle sizes. Pressure can be applied to produce the small bubble sizes required for fine particle flotation.
in flotation, one must whether increase the particle size or decrease the bubble diameter. In this regard, the particle sizes can be enlarged by flocculants, while the small bubbles can be generated via dissolved-air flotation, induced-air flotation, hydrodynamic cavitation, electro-flotation and microbubble generators.

The dosage of a collector is an important factor that determines the efficiency of a froth flotation process. The representative sample of the carbonatitic Palabora copper ore ground 45 % passing 75 µm was froth-floated with sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX) collector at 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 g/t dosages. The concentrates and tails were dried and analysed. The results obtained showed that …
At present, the upper limit of flotation particle size is generally 0.25-0.3 mm for sulfide minerals; 0.5-1 mm for natural sulfur; and the upper limit of particle size for coal is 1-2 mm.3.Avoid muddy as much as possible. When the flotation particle size is less than 0.01 mm, the flotation index will decay significantly.
