Flotation of Molybdenite

The Interaction between Ca2+ and Molybdenite Edges and Its Effect on Molybdenum Flotation

In this paper, the influence of Ca2+ on the flotation of a skarn type molybdenum ore and pure molybdenite mineral at pH 8 was studied using diesel as the collector. It was found that Ca2+ had little effect on molybdenum flotation at low concentrations. By further increasing Ca2+ concentration, the floatability of molybdenite—especially from the fine size fractions—was depressed even without the...

Kinetic Analysis of Molybdenite Oxidation

Flotation of Biological Materials

Flotation constitutes a gravity separation process, which originated from the minerals processing field. However, it has, nowadays, found several other applications, as for example in the wastewater treatment field. Concerning the necessary bubble generation method, typically dispersed-air or dissolved-air flotation was mainly used. Various types of biological materials were tested and floated ...
