Ore concentrates produced by Samarco typically contain 67% iron (Segura et al., 2016). Samarco uses approximately 1500 tons of amine per year as quartz collector in the process of reverse cationic flotation of iron ores, most of which is discharged to tailings ponds or dissolved in the water fraction of the tailings (Batisteli and Peres, 2008).

Froth Flotation is one of the fundamental processes used in iron ore attainment. It involves various physical–chemical reactions, and its multivariate control is not trivial.

However, the phosphorus removal from iron ores other than igneous formations has been a challenge for most of the iron ore operations. This research aims to make a preliminary study of wavellite's floatability and to evaluate the reduction of phosphorus content by froth flotation from a Brazilian iron ore with a P content of 0.82%.

The work of the researchers on iron ore flotation is basically focused on achieving selectivity through different collectors and depressants, with other reagents contributing towards an enabling pulp environment. 3.1. Collectors3.1.1. Five main classes of collectors are used in iron ore flotation: (Fig. 2)

The typical feed to a flotation system in the iron ore industry consists of particles in the size range between 10 µm and 300 µm. The slimes fraction (<10 µm) are removed using hydrocyclones prior to flotation and the top size is limited to 5–10% greater than 150 µm. Flotation is performed in circuits consisting of mechanical cells ...

The increased use of iron ore flotation has resulted in the reduction of gangue impurities . Flotation has thus produced iron "super-concentrates" with limited contents of silica, aluminium oxide and other impurities prior to subsequent metallurgical processes [8, 9]. Based on the collector used, iron-bearing metallic mineral flotation ...

The flotation performance of certain iron ore types is enhanced with the use of ether di-amines in combination with ether mono-amines (Araujo et al., 2005). Desliming is mandatory to remove particles with size < 30 µm prior to reverse cationic flotation with amines to achieve adequate separation between iron-bearing and gangue minerals ( …

The two major aluminum-containing minerals in iron ore are kaolinite (Al 2 (Si 2 O 5 ) (OH) 4) and gibbsite (Al (OH) 3 ). Some progress has been made in using flotation to separate kaolinite from hematite. High levels of phosphorus in iron ore attract a penalty because this makes steel brittle.

This work describes the concentration of iron ore slimes on a pilot scale by using a 500-mm diameter flotation column and a novel collector, which renders the use of a depressant unnecessary. The pilot column was operated in series with the industrial plant Vargem Grande 2 (Iron Quadrangle, Brazil) receiving, as feed, part of the underflow from …

This is why reverse anionic flotation of iron ore using oleic acid or its soaps is usually performed in a strongly alkaline environment (i.e., above pH 11). Fuerstenau and Cummins [28] concluded that, when oleate was used as collector, the suitable pH value was between 11 and 12 in the flotation of quartz.

Flotation in the iron ore industry is used as a primary means for concentrating oxidized iron ores, to touch up magnetite concentrates for the removal of the last few percent of silica and in the ...

Starches are the universal depressants of iron oxides in the flotation of iron ores. Starch may be extracted from several vegetable species such as corn, cassava, potato, wheat, rice, arrowroot, etc.). In the mineral industry, corn starches are by far the most widely used species. Corn starch has been used in iron ore flotation in Brazil …
