DMS and froth flotation are the most widely accepted of all beneficiation techniques across the world. While DMS is suitable for coarsely liberated pegmatites, primarily used as a pre-concentration step, flotation is an efficient unit to recover the finely liberated spodumene not only from the ores but also from the pre-concentrated products.

Liu [14] studied the performance of styrene phosphonic acid (SPA) on the flotation of fine columbite-tantalite ores having complex composition. The results of this work revealed that the process consumed 1.0–1.3 kg/ton of SPA, and the ratio of the concentration of columbite-tantalite was 20–22 with a recovery of 80–85 %.
The floatation of niobite has been studied using different collectors at various reagent dosages and solution pHs. The collectors used in this study included octyl diphosphonic acid (ODA), benzyl arsenic acid (BAA), C 7–9 alkyl hydroxamic acid (AHA), α-styrolphosphonic acid (SPA), and diisobutyl sulfosuccinate (DSS). Octyl diphosphonic …

Accepted manuscript 3 of niobium < tantalum) are separated by the use of magnetic field and the resulting non-magnetic ore is mainly Mn-tantalite (Tadesse and Zerihun, 1996).
In actual practice, there are three basic beneficiation methods of niobium-tantalum ores, which are physical pre-concentration, combination of physical pre …
The ores containing multiple metals, such as lead, copper and zinc, can be selectively extracted by using froth floatation. The minerals that do not float into the froth are called the flotation tailings or flotation tails. The froth flotation process was first patented by H. F. K. Pickard, E. L. Sulman and John Ballot in the year 1906.
Tantalite was tested at five collector-concentration levels of 3.75, 7.5, 15, 30, 190 mg per liter and quartz at 3.75 mg per liter. Good flotation recoveries of both …
