“…However, the literature related to the application of ionic liquids in mineral flotation is scanty. In this context, recently, Sahoo et al (2014Sahoo et al ( , 2015aSahoo et al ( , 2015b have applied Aliquat-336, TOMAS (trioctylmethylammonium salicylate), and THEX (tetrahexylammonium chloride), in the flotation of quartz from low grade iron ores. The studies have indicated that, an iron grade containing 63-65% Fe with 65-68% Fe recovery could be achieved from a BHQ ore containing $38% Fe.…”

“…Sahoo et al [21,22] experimented the flotation of pure quartz as well as low banded hematite quartzite (BHQ) having quartz as major impurity using tricaprylmethyl ammonium salicylate (TOMAS), an ammonium-based ionic liquid, Aliquat 336, tetrahexylammonium chloride (THEX) and dodecylammonium chloride as collectors and found that ionic liquids performed better than conventional surfactants. Due to the chaotropic character of anions of ionic liquids, they easily pair with ions of mineral surfaces, thus inducing increased hydrophobicity compared to conventional surfactants.…”

Depletion of high-grade resources has necessitated the use of low-grade fines, which contain good amount of mineral values and also liberate in finer sizes. Froth flotation, a physico-chemical surface-based process, is the most established solution, both technologically and economically, compared to other alternatives for fines beneficiation. For a successful and effective flotation performance, an understanding of the mineral surface and proper selection of the surfactant/reagent regimes along with their molecular chemistry and their specific adsorption mechanism are mandated. This chapter focuses on the complexity of the flotation process along with adsorption and interaction mechanism of different surfactants in accordance to mineral surface characteristics and their dependency on many microevents. To further strengthen mineral flotation chemistry and advancement of mineral engineering, research gears at investigating new surfactants, specific for particular mineral surface. The selection of reagents/surfactants with appropriate chemical composition and their administration are of critical importance in view of varied mineralogy, chemical complexity and size consist of feed material. Costeffective and lower cost flotation reagents can be synthesized through insertion of new functional groups, molecular modelling of reagents for more environmentfriendly nature, modifying the structure of other chelating agents and novel green chemicals from renewable resources, adding aliphatic alcohol and carboxylic acid to bio-based collectors and adding chaotropic anions to alkyl and aryl surfactants and organic and inorganic salts having strong orientation with more proton donor and acceptor; addition of another cationic group to known cationic surfactants can be tried for enhanced flotation performance. The study also provides an idea on the effect of other parameters like pH, composition of pulp, zeta potential, electrostatic potential, etc. For envisagement of a successful flotation performance, proper selection of the reagent system according to the specific surface and understanding of the mineral surface-specific adsorption mechanism are mandated.

“…The anionic collectors contain a hydrocarbon and alkali salts of straight chain fatty acids, and alkyl aryl sulfonates. The cationic collectors usually contain a hydrocarbon group, and the salts of bases, usually chlorides or acetates (Sahoo et al, 2015). Due to the complicated properties of the iron ores, it is difficult to compare reverse anionic and cationic flotation (Ma et al, 2011).…”
