· In most of the work presented in the table, the flotation results are assessed by grade/recovery, acid-insoluble tests, and brightness analysis. Table 3 indicates that environmentally friendly reagents such as quaternary amines, ester quats, and microbial-based collectors have been used as the surfactants in the past decade. However, limited ...
A new method, staged flotation for effectively increasing the recovery of ultra-fine copper oxide ore with a new type of collector (ZH-1, C3-5 carbon chain xanthate) is proposed for the first time.
· Flotation experiments performed on metallurgical grade silicon have demonstrated that silicon (Si) can be floated in diluted solutions of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and a frother.
