1. Introduction. Froth flotation is the largest tonnage separation in mineral processing by which valuable mineral is separated from waste rock. Advances in control and optimisation of the froth flotation process are of great relevance since even very small increases in recovery lead to large economic benefits (Ferreira and Loveday, 2000, …

It has been well appreciated that the froth flotation is of the most importance. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, it lacks a thorough and critical review on the recent developments in fluorite flotation. This article begins with introducing the deposits and unique physical and chemical properties of fluorite from the perspective ...

Frothers are the reagents necessary to produce the mineral- carrying froth. The quantity consumed is 1/20 to 1/5 pound per ton of ore. For sulphide flotation various wood oils have been used, the most common being pine oil, particularly steam-distilled. Cresylic acid is a common frother of another type.

Adjustment of flotation conditions, such as reagent addition rate and pH have a much greater impact on coarse particle flotation than any other size range (Trahar, 1981) and specialty reagents are often required to extend the upper size limit of flotation (Yoon et al., 2002).An example which highlights the impact of pH on the coarse fractions is given …

Froth stability is a critical factor for flotation and even a small decrease in froth stability causes a decrease in the recovery of desirable minerals (Hadler and Cilliers, 2009, Hadler et al., 2012, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017a, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017). Although frothers improve flotation rate and recovery, a very high frother ...

Froth flotation for separating discrete mineral particles from gangue was developed in the early 1900s and depends upon differences in the surface chemistry of the mineral species involved.

The concept of froth crowders and was developed in the early 1950s. The need for crowding froth out of a flotation cell grew along with the size of flotation machines and their cells.. The 1st froth crowder device was patented in 1956 (Fig 1 and Fig 2). What I call the crowder plate is Piece/Item # 12 on the drawings below.

At present, the primary beneficiation approach of fluorite is flotation [5].In the deposits, fluorite is often associated with gangue minerals such as calcite and quartz, which share similar surface properties with fluorite (i.e. solubility, crystal structure, hydrophobicity, and zeta potential), making the effective separation challenging to achieve [[6], [7], [8]].

Entrainment is a process by which fine and ultrafine particles are transferred to the flotation froth from the top of the flotation pulp, and eventually discharge to the concentrate product, even when they are not attached to gas bubbles. Therefore, entrainment can be considered as a two-step process, one at the upper layer of the pulp …
