Among various beneficiation techniques, froth flotation is more suitable for treating fines and naturally hydrophobic ores. Flotation is a surface phenomenon based on the surface hydrophobicity of the mineral surfaced to be separated [2,3,4]. Due to the natural hydrophobicity of graphite, this technique is adopted for beneficiation.

FROTH FLOTATION AND ITS APPLICATION TO CONCENTRATION OF LOW GRADE IRON ORES A. Vidyadhar and R. Singh INTRODUCTION Froth flotation is a process used to separate minerals, suspended in liquids, by attaching them to gas bubbles to provide selective levitation of the solid particles. It is
limited to small laboratory scales. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of two main flotation variables (air flowrate and froth depth) on the flotation of iron ore in a 10 m3 industrial scale cell. It was found that, when the air flowrate increased from 45 to 146 m3/h, the velocity of the bubble coalescence
Among the influencing factors shown in Fig. 1, particle size is the most important [[9], [10], [11]].Froth flotation works best when minerals are in an intermediate particle size range, typically from 20 to 150 μm, but varies with the types of minerals [[10], [11], [12]].When particles are smaller than about 20 μm, value mineral recovery and …
Froth flotation works by exploiting the hydrophobic properties of gold molecules. First, ore is ground into an extremely fine powder. ...
