Carrier flotation is a technique that can recover fine particles by using coarse carrier during the process. In heterogeneous flotation, mineral of different minerals are used as carriers to particles. By Cu2+-treated pyrite carriers, chalcopyrite recovery could be improved. However, disadvantage this it requires post-flotation separation process improve grade final Cu concentrate. This study t...

Nickel is an important element in the metal alloy industry. In Indonesia, nickel resources are found many areas form of rocks such as pyrophyllite. Froth flotation a method commonly used mining industry to extract metals from mineral rocks. However, concentrates yields tend be relatively low. This often influenced by several factors pH solutions and stirring speed process. Therefore, this study...

It is well-known that entrainment of particles into the froth is a key factor in the selectivity and performance of the flotation process, especially for fine particle recovery. Since flotation is a continuous process, in this work, the effects of operating parameters on the entrainment of ash materials in a sample coal flotation is investigated from a time-sequence viewpoint. The effects of th...

Recently, coal fly ash has become a potential candidate as secondary resource of rare earth elements (REE). In this investigation, we studied the recovery REE from commercial power plant. The specific aim was to assess technical feasibility recovering using conventional preconcentration methods, including gravity separation, magnetic and froth flotation. experimental results revealed that flota...

Flotation is one of the most used methods to upgrade natural graphite resources. However, efficiency usually decreased due entrainment undesirable fine gangue minerals. In this work, impact different factors such as particle size, pulp density, and flotation reagent on mica quartz in a flake was studied. The single mineral results showed increased when reducing size minerals increasing density....
