Two sulphide ores can be separated by adjusting proportion of oil to water or by using depressants. For example, in the case of an ore containing ZnS and PbS, the depressant NaCN is forms complex with ZnS and prevents it from coming with froth but PbS remains with froth
Aim of This Method To separate the ore samples into a series of fractions according to density, establishing the relationship between the high and the low specific gravity minerals. Introduction Dense medium separation or the sinkand float process is applied to, 1) pre ...

· The flotation method involves mixing your crushed ore with water and then you add frothing agents in a single floatation machine. You then use a tube to release air into the floatation machine. This creates air bubbles to the bottom of the machine and this helps attach hydrophilic materials such as gold to the bubbles and thus float on the water.
greater than 2% talc. Talc ore can also contain high amounts of arsenic present as gersdorffite. The two ore types have significantly different optimal flotation conditions in the Mount Keith concentrator and every effort is made during mining and crushing to keep them separate. StackCell
Beneficiation of a lowgrade iron ore was investigated by combination of the lowintensity magnetic separation and reverse flotation methods. The main constituents of the representative sample were % Fe, % FeO, % CaO, % SiO2, and % S based on the Xray fluorescence, titration, and Leco analysis methods. The mineralogical studies by the Xray diffraction, scanning electron ...
Flotation makes possible the processing of complex intergrown ores containing copper, lead, zinc, and pyrite into separate concentrates and tailings—an impossible task with gravity, magnetic, or electric separation methods.
the world. In the iron ore industry, flotation is either froth used as a primary method for concentrating iron ores, such as ClevelandCliffs' operations in Michigan, United States, or in combination with magnetic separation, which has become a popular practice in Minnesota, United States[1]. 2. Iron Ore Flotation Routes * Corresponding author:
· High sulfide gold ore refers to 20% 30% of gold wrapped by sulfide (mainly pyrite). It is better to use gravity separation, flotation, or flotationcyanidation process. The following is an analysis of specific beneficiation tests, and introduces four commonly used gold processing methods for highsulfide gold ores.
Flotation is a method of separating an ore species froth another, based on its hydrophobic surface characteristics either natural or induced when present as a suspension in water with air bubble. Due to the affinity of the desired mineral to adhere to air bubbles it is floated out
Heap leaching is preferred method for Cu oxide and/or carbonate ores if gangue acid consumption is not too high. Flotation is generally suitable for sulphide type Cu ores. Flotation of malachite ...

Settling and flotation have been used for thousands of years to separate particles of dense metals such as gold, using the technique known as panning, in which a sample of gravel or sand is swirled in water in a shallow metal the density of gold ( g/cm 3) is so much greater than that of most silie minerals (about g/cm 3), silie particles settle more slowly and can be ...
Methods Microflotation tests The flotation test uses a 40 ml XFG troughtype flotation machine. The ore sample weighing 2 g was placed in the flotation cell for each test. Then, a certain concentration of flotation reagent was added and stirred for 5 min. The pH value of the slurry was measured by a precision pH meter and floated.
· Several methods/techniques such as washing, jigging, magnetic separation, gravity separation, and flotation etc. are used to enhance the Fe content of the Iron ore and to reduce its gangue content. These techniques are used in various combinations for the beneficiation of iron ores. For beneficiation of a particular iron ore the emphasis is ...
