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.
The route of reverse flotation is currently in widespread use in iron ore flotation practice. The majority of studies on reverse flotation of iron ore focused on reagents and reagent scheme [9,10,11,12,13]. The reverse flotation route can be classified into reverse cationic flotation and reverse anionic flotation, based on the …
