A lead-zinc carbonate ore sample containing 2.5% Pb and 9.39% Zn was used in this research work. The sample was prepared from the Darreh-Zanjir mine located in the Yazd province (Iran). Influences of the influential factors on flotation of smithsonite and cerussite were investigated. Among the different parameters involved, dosages of the dispersant, depressants, sulfidizing agent, and collecto...

The adsorption of dodecylamine acetate (DAA), sodium oleate (NaOL) and DAA–NaOL mixtures on muscovite mica were investigated through flotation tests, zeta potential measurements, and pyrene fluorescence tests. The results show that the muscovite mica has a negative charge over the pH range 2–12. The muscovite mica did not float in the presence of NaOL alone. However, the recovery of muscovite m...

The present investigation deals with the recovery of iron values from the screw classifier overflow slimes from an iron ore washing plant by means of reverse cationic flotation as an alternate to direct anionic flotation. Selectivity index, an indicator of separation efficiency, was chosen as the response parameter for optimizing the quantity and evaluating a series of generically same but chem...

Increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries has led to the development of several new lithium mineral projects around globe. Some major processing challenges these face are similarities in gangue and value behaviour poor selectivity froth flotation. Unsaturated anionic fatty acids primary spodumene flotation collectors, known be strong collectors with solubility selectivity. Fundamental researc...

the paper is focused on the formation of calcium phosphate nanoparticles (cp) in polyelectrolyte-modified microemulsions, in a microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, anionic surfactantant and cosurfactant, in the presence of anionic and cationic polyelectrolyte. it is shown that polyelectrolyte, can be incorporated into the individual inverse microemulsion droplets. the ...
