It has a specific gravity of 2.71. Three perfect cleavages give calcite its six-sided polyhedrons with diamond-shaped faces; the angles defining the faces are 78° and 102°. The three important crystal habits (distinctive shapes of the mineral) of calcite are: (1) prismatic (both short and long), (2) rhombohedral, and (3) scalenohedral.

ABSTRACT. Apatite (Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 F 2) is the most important phosphate mineral, and flotation is the main beneficiation method to separate apatite from its major gangue mineral calcite (CaCO 3).Till date, fatty acids and their salts have been widely used as collectors in the apatite/calcite flotation separation due to their low cost and …

Calcite occurs in nature either as high-grade (with >75% calcite) or low-grade calcite ores (with <30% calcite). Generally, other carbonates, phosphate, silicate, and iron sulfide minerals are associated with calcite. Gravity, magnetic, and flotation separation are the most process normally applied for the beneficiation of calcite ores [8].

MICP is a biological process that promotes calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) formation, as a result of biological activity leading to an increase in the saturation state of calcium carbonate (Arias et al., 2017, DeJong et al., 2010, Phillips et al., 2013, Torres-Aravena et al., 2018). Precipitation of calcite can be induced with different purposes.
