Calcite is generally associated with apatite minerals in phosphate deposits. To explore the possibility of separating these minerals by a soap flotation technique, their electrokinetic properties and flotation behaviour were studied in the presence of sodium oleate.Microelectrophoresis data indicate oleate adsorption on these minerals, and from Hallimond-tube flotation tests it has been noted that in a controlled pH environment and for a certain sodium oleate concentration range, separation of these minerals is possible.The study of apatite/calcite-sodium metasilicate-sodium oleate systems indicates the preferential adsorption of silicate at the calcite surface. This suggests the potential use of sodium metasilicate as the modifying agent for the separation of apatite from calcite by depressing calcite when using sodium oleate as collector. 相似文献

Physical and thermal treatment of phosphate ores — An overview 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The annual consumption of phosphate rock approached 150 million tons. The marketable phosphate is usually 30% P2O5 or higher. The run-of-mine material is mostly of lower grade which needs processing or upgrading. The processing techniques of phosphate ores depend mostly on the type of associated gangue minerals present in the mined rock. In some cases, simple, inexpensive techniques are enough to produce the required grade. For example, crushing and screening is used to get rid of the coarse hard siliceous material, and attrition scrubbing and desliming is used to remove the clayey fine fraction. If silica is the main gangue material, single-stage or double-stage flotation is the conventional mineral processing technique used in this case. If the ore is igneous carbonatitic alkaline or ultra basic phosphate deposit, crushing, grinding, scrubbing, and flotation associated with other steps such as magnetic and/or gravity separation is proved to be successful in upgrading this type of ore. The sedimentary phosphate ores having carbonate-apatite as the main phosphate minerals and containing carbonates (calcite and/or dolomite) represent a challenge in the field of phosphate concentration due to similarity in the physico-chemical properties of surfaces of the ore constituents. Also, if considerable amount of organic matter constitutes the main gangue material, upgrading of the ore becomes difficult. New flotation systems (techniques and reagents) are being developed to treat these challenging phosphate ores. Furthermore, calcination is another solution for upgrading these difficult-to-treat types of ores. However, calcination is indicted with some controversial drawbacks. This overview discusses and summarizes the State-of-the-Art and the existing efforts to overcome these problems and to produce a high-grade phosphate product suitable for fertilizers and other phosphate compounds. 相似文献

The effect of gangue on mineral behaviour in a miniature batch version of an industrial flotation machine was examined. The flotation systems consisted of a sulphide, galena, with a specific collector, potassium ethyl xanthate, and a particular non-sulphide gangue in each case. Three gangue minerals were selected: corundum, fluorite and quartz. Flotation experiments were augmented with spectrophotometric adsorption and zeta potential measurements. Based on this data, the validity and significance of the slime-coating hypothesis in the context of the environment characteristic of industrial flotation processes were assessed. 相似文献

It is well known that the chemical environment determines the success of the flotation process, however its characterisation and control is difficult to achieve. This paper, as two parts, Part I and Part II, evaluates the use of various measurements and their interpretation to gain an understanding of the influence of varying parameters such as the type of milling media and copper sulphate addition on the flotation performance of sulphide minerals from a platinum group mineral (PGM) bearing Merensky ore. It shows the complexity of interpretation and the importance of analysing flotation performance holistically. Part I focuses on the pulp chemistry and mineral potential measurements have been used to show the differences in the response of the various mineral electrodes to different conditions. The final flotation recoveries of the sulphide minerals in the ore followed the same trend as the decrease in mineral potential due to collector addition viz. chalcopyrite > pentlandite > pyrrhotite. Type of milling media and copper sulphate addition slightly affected the mineral electrode potential and flotation recovery of chalcopyrite. Addition of copper sulphate increased the recovery of pentlandite and particularly pyrrhotite due to activation by copper (II) ions. The copper activation mechanism was likely to be in the form of initial adsorption of copper hydroxide followed by reduction to Cu+ at the surface. However, the changes in flotation performance of the different minerals in the ore could not be completely described by the electrochemical changes, demonstrating the limitations of these measurements. Part II addresses the effect of froth stability as demonstrated by the variations in the mass and water recovery data resulting from the different milling conditions and addition of copper sulphate which emphasised the importance of considering the froth phase in the evaluation of flotation data. 相似文献

Effects of various commonly used pretreatments such as desliming, ultrasonic scrubbing and leaching with dilute nitric, hydrofluoric and sodium hydroxide solutions on the electrokinetic properties of quartz in aqueous solutions are reported. The study showed that treatments with various reagents often used in mineral processing research in the past to clean minerals can affect, sometimes severly, the electrokinetic properties of quartz. The change in these properties during subsequent aging is also found to be governed by the type of treatment used. This study also shows the need in mineral research for standardization of mineral preparation techniques in order that the discrepancy in data reported for surface properties in literature can be minimized. 相似文献

The effects of oxidation potential (Eh) and zinc sulphate on the separation of chalcopyrite from pyrite were investigated at pH 9.0. The flotation recovery of these minerals is Eh dependent with maximum separation obtained at 275 mV SHE. Zinc sulphate addition improved this mineral separation at an Eh value of 275 mV by selectively depressing pyrite flotation. A different result was obtained at lower Eh values where zinc sulphate addition improved chalcopyrite flotation but had no or little effect on pyrite flotation. These opposite effects of zinc sulphate on mineral flotation were reconciled by examining the surface species of these minerals. The selective depression of pyrite flotation by zinc sulphate was also confirmed in the flotation of two copper ores. 相似文献

Natural polysaccharides such as starch, dextrin, guar gum, cellulose and their derivatives are promising non-toxic organic depressants. Although generally perceived as non-selective, these polymers have found use in commercial processes or have been tested in laboratories in practically all flotation systems involving every type of minerals. In this communication, the adsorption mechanisms of natural polysaccharides are reviewed, with the objective of promoting the wider applications of the polymers. While it seems generally accepted that natural polysaccharides interact with minerals via surface metal-hydroxylated species, an acid/base interaction model between the natural polysaccharides and mineral surfaces is proposed to explain many observed adsorption and flotation phenomena. 相似文献

Sedimentary phosphates contain-besides the phosphate minerals-, various associated gangue minerals such as: clays, silica, calcareous minerals (mainly calcite and dolomite), carbonaceous matter, iron oxides and/or pyrite. The common practiced flow-sheets for concentrating these types of phosphate ores consist of a combination of various mineral processing units such as: crushing and screening, attrition, washing, magnetic separation, and/or flotation. However, none of these combinations was successfully efficient to upgrade the calcareous ores because of the close similarity of the physical properties (density, particle size, particle shape, etc.) as well as the surface physico-chemical properties of the carbonate and phosphate minerals. For the last five decades extensive efforts have been spent to adopt flotation for separating carbonates from phosphate ores. These efforts include thermodynamic analysis, modification of the technique, controlling the pulp environment, and finding new reagents that can specifically differentiate between carbonates and phosphates.This paper reviews some of the published work on the separation of carbonates from phosphate ores by flotation and presents the flotation results of phosphate ore samples different in their physical properties and mineralogical composition. The results obtained reflect the effect of ore nature on the flotation performance and the reagents consumption. 相似文献

The respective effects of phosphate modifiers on the solubility of calcium minerals in water, on the surface charge of the minerals and on the adsorption of the phosphates and of sodium oleate on the mineral surface were examined. The Auger spectra and the infrared spectra of the minerals treated with these reagents were also investigated. The ability of the phosphates to complex metal ions was determined by nephelometric titration. The structures of the minerals and their effects on their floatability, as well as structures of the phosphates and their effects on the complexation power were discussed. A mechanism of depression of the calcium minerals through the selective complexing dissolution of calcium ions from the mineral surface was derived and explains the higher selectivity obtained in scheelite flotation when (NaPO3)6 or Na4P2O7 are used as modifiers. 相似文献

Both froth flotation and centrifugal concentration were used to pre-concentrate the oil sands froth treatment tailings prior to the recovery of heavy minerals (titanium and zirconium minerals). Over 90% of the heavy minerals were recovered into a bulk flotation concentrate that was about 50% of the feed mass at 85 °C without any reagents. The same recoveries were obtained at 50 °C with the addition of NaOH and/or sodium oleate. However, the flotation concentrate also recovered over 90% of the residual bitumen and much of the clays/slimes. Subsequent treatment of the flotation concentrate such as dewatering and bitumen removal would be difficult due to these residual bitumen and clays. On the other hand, a SB40 centrifugal concentrator recovered over 85% of the heavy minerals but less than 30% of the residual bitumen. With improved liberation the recovery of the residual bitumen into the concentrate could be further reduced. The particle sizes of the SB40 concentrates were also larger than the flotation concentrates, making subsequent processing much easier. 相似文献

The ability of O-isopropyl-N-ethyl thionocarbamate (IPETC), O-isobutyl-N-ethoxycarbonyl thionocarbamate (IBECTC) and butyl ethoxycarbonyl thiourea (BECTU) collectors to increase the flotation of the sulphide minerals, chalcopyrite, galena and pyrite, has been studied. For each collector, the flotation characteristics of these minerals, flotation rate constant and flotation recovery maximum, have been calculated from the flotation data and compared as a function of pH and collector concentration. Overall, the flotation performance of these collectors is stronger for chalcopyrite than for galena and pyrite. Flotation increases with collector concentration and decreasing pH values. For chalcopyrite, the collector performances of BECTU are slightly better than those of IPETC but far superior to those of IBECTC, especially at high pH values or at low collector concentrations. The flotation performance of these collectors has been shown to be in good agreement with the amount of collector adsorbed at the mineral surface. The affinity of BECTU for the various minerals has been calculated using a multilayer adsorption model. 相似文献

The maximum flotation response for three naturally occurring calcium minerals, apatite, calcite and fluorite with sodium oleate collector correlated directly with the minimum interfacial tension of the air/solution interface. For fluorite and apatite the minimum surface tension occurred about the mid-pH region and was attributed to the formation of pre-micellar associated species in solution. In the case of calcite the minimum was observed at high pH since the presence of high concentrations of calcium ions in solution appeared to reduce the concentration of amphililic species in the low and mid-pH regions.Microelectrophoresis data demonstrated that the three minerals acquired a negative charge in sodium oleate solution, resulting from adsorption of oleate species on the mineral surfaces.The flotation behaviour of the systems were shown to be related to the species distribution diagrams suggesting that the role of the acid soap dimer, soap dimer, molecular and lattice species could make a significant contribution to the character and composition of the interfacial films.High flotation response was explained by strong adhesion between the hydrophobic particle and bubble. It was suggested that the reduction in surface tension may not be the major factor contributing to the flotation efficiency but indicated the presence of associated surfactant species in solution which could also synergistically adsorb at the solid/liquid interface, increasing the hydrophobic character of the mineral surface. This would maximize the magnitude of the contact angle and hence the strength of the adhesion between particle and bubble. This adsorption behaviour is not in general agreement with conventionally non-hydrolyzable collector theory which is usually based on electrostatic models. 相似文献

The flotation and sorption properties of chalcocite and quartz in potassium ethyl xanthate (EtXK), frothers (α-terpineol and n-amyl alcohol), and (xanthate + frother) mixed solutions were investigated. Surface tension and frothing properties of the solutions were also measured.Floatability and sorption properties of the minerals investigated strongly depended on any controlled or uncontrolled change occurring at the mineral surface. Surface oxidation of chalcocite was shown to be an especially important parameter.The frothers studied showed some collecting properties in respect to chalcocite and quartz and influenced the xanthate sorption on chalcocite.Comparison of the flotation recoveries in frother solutions respectively with and without xanthate indicated an occurrence of noticeable collector-frother interactions during formation of the bubble/chalcocite grain aggregate. No such interactions were found for quartz.Influence of the frothers on floatability of the minerals was observed at different frother concentrations but at close values of surface pressure (π) and of retention time (rt). 相似文献

The use of the concept of maximum technical efficiency as a criterion for optimum setting of a mineral separation stage is discussed. The graphical assessment of an optimum is illustrated by the use of minerals separation curves for flotation of pentlandite and chalcopyrite.For multi-stage circuits it is shown that in some circumstances an often used recycle rule requiring matching streams is in accord with optimizing criteria. However, the rule cannot always be applied, and in the case of flotation systems it may be misleading. Also for flotation, distinctions between optimum setting of a stage and optimum setting of a system are important.An attempt is made to analyze some commonly occurring flowsheet features in terms of optimizing by maximizing technical efficiency. Specifically, cleaner-scavenger operation, bulked recycle streams and open-circuit re-treat systems are assessed by reference to some operations in Australia. The assessment suggests that (within analysis limitations imposed by use of simple optimizing criteria) it may be best to stay with well-established conventional circuitry. 相似文献

The floatability of enargite (3Cu2S.As2S5) has been determined as a function of pulp potential to establish whether the flotation behaviour of the mineral differs sufficiently from that of other copper minerals thus offering the prospect of rejecting arsenic from the Tampakan ore by potential control during flotation. 相似文献

The re-use of rock as an industrial material requires more treatments than those foreseen for the reuse of muck as an aggregate for concrete and for road construction. The treatments always start with comminution, which has the goal of liberating the rock-forming minerals. Liberation is achieved with the appearance of grains which are composed of only one mineral. The subsequent treatment steps are based on the physical–mechanical–chemical properties of the different minerals, that is, density, magnetic susceptibility, wettability etc. Magnetic separation and flotation, the two techniques examined in this research, are the two most common techniques used in industrial mineral production plants. The mucks that were analysed are from the Omegna and Brennero tunnels, both of which are granitic rocks with different textures. From the analysis and comparison of the preliminary treatment results, it has been possible to optimise the treatment method. Petrographic, mineralogic and firing tests have been conducted to evaluate the obtained results. High-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) on defined grain sizes appears to be suitable to obtain a product with a high feldspar–quartz content which could be used in the ceramic field. 相似文献

砂岩副矿物的物源区分析新进展 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
物源区分析是盆地分析和古地理重建的重要研究方法,有很长的研究历史。随着分析测试技术的进步,物源区分析的方法不断发展,分析精度也不断提高。电子探针、离子探针和LAICPMS等微区原位分析技术的发展,使得基于单矿物地球化学和同位素年代学的物源区分析方法取得了长足的进步,代表了物源区分析的最新发展方向。本文介绍了砂岩中常见副矿物铬尖晶石、金红石的地球化学分析以及锆石UPb年龄、白云母ArAr年龄在物源区分析中的应用。同时,作者认为物源区分析往往是基于碎屑矿物的化学成分或年龄与可能物源区的对比,且只具有统计意义。因此,深入了解区域地质情况和可能的物源区的地质信息,测试一定数量的颗粒进行统计分析,才能得出合理的结果。 相似文献
