Abstract
The flotation separation of scheelite from calcite is challenging due to their similar surface and solution chemistry properties, necessitating the use of efficient inhibitors. This study explored the mixed depressant of ferric ion and gallic acid for enhancing separation efficiency of scheelite and calcite. The flotation performance of scheelite and calcite was evaluated with varying ferric ion to gallic acid molar ratio (1:5), concentrations (2 × 10-5 mol/L and 1 × 10-4 mol/L), and a NaOL dosage of 1 × 10-4 mol/L. The results indicated that scheelite achieved a recovery of 81 % while calcite recovery was 8.3 %. The mixed ore experiment proved that the addition of mixed depressant increased the grade of scheelite by 21.48 % (from 37.08 % to 58.56 %) compared with that of only the addition of the collector. The experiment showed that the mixed depressant had a good inhibition effect on calcite. Surface characterization analysis indicated that the mixed depressant exhibited a weak depressive effect on scheelite but effectively depressed calcite by enhancing gallic acid adsorption through iron ions promotion of calcite surfaces, thereby inhibiting sodium oleate enrichment. Therefore, this study confirmed the mixed depressant was an effective depressant for calcite flotation in scheelite flotation separation.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
