Iron ore concentrate sales in a mineral processing plant appeared a trend of high sulfur, exceeding the sales requirement of 0.3% significantly. To this end, for the sulfide in iron concentrate mainly exists in the form of pyrrhotite, companies with iron minerals and has a high degree of oxidation, we can add flotation agent to the magnetic separation column, and at the same time fill gas for s...

Despite being one of the main sources iron, specularite is often associated with gangue minerals such as aegirine and chlorite. Flotation separation challenging in mineral processing industry because similar surface properties specularite, aegirine, This study investigates role selective activation mechanism Pb2+ flotation chlorite using micro-flotation experiments, solution chemistry calculati...

separation method that is widely used in coal beneficiation for the separation of fine coal particles from associated minerals in water slurries. Since the cumulative recovery of a component in the concentrate is proportional to flotation time, the flotation process can be considered as a time-rate recovery process (Emad, Mohammad, and Bahram, 2010). Therefore, the general mathematical flotatio...

Raw water clarification by flotation was studied by injecting air into a centrifugal multiphase pump to generate microbubbles (MBs) and nanobubbles (NBs). Measurements of gas dispersion parameters were performed and optimal conditions were obtained using a pump pressure of 4 bar. Values showed a bubble Sauter diameter of 75 μm, an air holdup of 1.2%, a bubble surface area flux of 34 s-1 and an ...

Abstract Deinked pulp flotation column has been applied in wastepaper recycling. Bubble size in deinked pulp flotation column is very important during the flotation process. In this paper, bubble images of deinked pulp flotation column were first caught by digital camera, and then the bubbles were detected by using a detection algorithm based on sparse and redundant image processing. The result...
