Enrichment of Co, Ni, and Mn from Cobalt-rich Ferromanganese Crust by Combining Enhanced Gravity Separation and Reverse Froth Flotation

Recent technological advancements are raising the demand for valuable and critical metals. In a quest to find new resources, cobalt-rich ferromanganese crust (CRFC) is considered as alternative since it contains various metals, including cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn). The aim of this work was investigate efficiency (1) enhanced gravity separation by Falcon concentrator (2) reverse flotation enrich metals from CRFC. main finding research that Mn, Co, Ni could be enriched combining after carefully controlling particle size sample.
