A Mini Review on Flotation Techniques and Reagents Used in Graphite Beneficiation

Due to its numerous and major industrial uses, graphite is one of the significant carbon allotropes. Refractories batteries are only a couple many uses for graphite. A growing market wants high-purity with big flakes. Since there fewer naturally occurring high-grade ores, low-grade ores must be processed increase their value meet rising demand, which predicted by >700% 2025 due adoption electric vehicles. inherently hydrophobic, flotation frequently used beneficiate ores. The pretreatment process, both conventional unconventional; liberation/grinding methods; methods like mechanical froth flotation, column ultrasound-assisted electroflotation; more emphasis on various reagents all covered in this review beneficiation techniques. This also focuses different types that separate graphite, such as possible nonconventional environmentally friendly reagents.
