Conventional starches are chemically crosslinked for use as selective depressants in the flotation of non-sulfide mineral ores. The process employing these crosslinked starches requires lower reagent dosages, exhibits improved selectivity and recovery and exerts a lower load on existing waste treatment facilities. The crosslinking agents employed are bifunctional and are used in sufficient ...

Apr 01, 2018 In copper-gold flotation plants, pyrite which is depressed in copper flotation is often floated subsequently with the addition of sodium sulfide Na 2 S to recover the associated gold. For the first time, this study investigated the role of Na 2 S responsible for the flotation of pyrite depressed in chalcopyrite flotation through flotation tests and Cyro-XPS X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ...

Jun 12, 2017 In this study, chitosan polymer was tested as a potential selective green depressant of pyrite in the bulk flotation of galena PbS and chalcopyrite CuFeS 2 from sphalerite ZnS and pyrite FeS 2 using sodium isopropyl xanthate as a collector and 4-methyl-2-pentanol MIBC as a frother. Flotation tests were carried out in a D12-Denver flotation laboratory cell in the presence and ...
Depressants comprising one or more types of polysaccharides comprising one or more types of pentosan units are provided. Also disclosed are processes for enriching a desired mineral from an ore comprising the desired mineral and gangue, wherein the process comprises carrying out a flotation process in the presence of one or more collecting agents and one or more of the depressants.
Nov 08, 2013 DEPRESSANTS . Froth flotation is the most efficient method for phosphate separation, which is a physic-chemical separation process based on the difference of surface properties between the valuable minerals and unwanted gangue minerals. However, the presence of clay slimes in the slurry after grinding consumes a large amount of reagents ...
Froth flotation has been a stalwart in mineral beneficiation for more than 100 years. During this time, and particularly in the past 20-30 years, there have been significant advances in the design and application of mechanical elements for flotation systems, e.g., new mechanisms, launders, larger cell volumes, better pumps, etc.
Aug 31, 2020 Entrainment is a process by which fine and ultrafine particles are transferred to the flotation froth from the top of the flotation pulp, and eventually discharge to the concentrate product, even when they are not attached to gas bubbles. Therefore, entrainment can be considered as a two-step process, one at the upper layer of the pulp to the flotation froth, and the other from froth to the ...
collectors, pyrite depressants, and various combinations of these reagents. Flotation tests were also conducted with Appalachian coals for comparison. Iowa coals did not respond as well to froth flotation as Appalachian coals. Although Iowa coal floated very slowly and Incompletely with only
Apr 19, 2021 The use of depressants in froth flotation is essential, especially for 2-mineral separation andor gangue rejection. Most depressants will fall into three major classes inorganic, small organic, and organic polymers.Some of the inorganic reagents include the following cyanide, its chemistry has been reviewed by 2, 3 zinc sulfate, sulfur dioxide, sodium hydrosulfide 4,5,6,7,8,9,10.
Apr 01, 2021 The froth phase is the main component of froth flotation as it defines both the quality of the end product and the overall efficiency . The frothers should possess good foaming properties, as ... Water glass and its modified products are the main depressants in fluorite flotation. Aluminum sulfate, as the effective depressant of barite, is ...
Depressants prevent certain types of particles from forming froth with bubbles. Due to this, we can separate two sulphide ores. For example, sodium cyanide is a depressant used for an ore containing Z nS and P bS. N aC N forms a layer of the complex N a2. on the surface of Z nS and prevents it from forming a froth. Thus, it acts as a depressant.
Nov 01, 2019 Lime in flotation, as a pH modifier, can also regulate not only collector adsorption, but also the effect of other commonly-used depressants such as sodium sulphide or sodium cyanide Yoon, 1981, Ghiani et al., 1984, Wang and Forssberg, 1996. Cyanide acts by dissolving copper from the surface of the activated sulphides, thus preventing ...
NaCN is never added in froth flotation process. Medium. Open in App. Solution. Verified by Toppr. Correct option is . B. ZnS forms soluble complex N a 2 Z n C N 4 while PbS forms froth. When the minerals are expected to contain P b S and Z n S, suitable depressants such as N a C N are added.

Aug 10, 2015 Flotation Conditioners -Modifiers -Activators -Depressants. This branch of chemicals will prepare the mineral surface so other reagents will be able to collect the metal. For Conditioners and Modifiers, it may be simply cleaning the surface of the particles, as in the case of removing oxidization, or it may be a chemical that these are the chemicals that bind the mineral to the air bubble to be lifted

Froth flotation is a good example of an engineering system, in that the various important parameters are highly inter-related, as shown in Figure 1. It is therefore important to take all of Chemistry Components Collectors Frothers Activators Depressants pH Equipment Components Cell Design Agitation Air Flow Cell Bank Configuration
