“…As is well known, particle liberation plays an important role in flotation processes, as demonstrated by many flotation studies of various types of ores [4][5][6][7][8][9]. This issue in turn is of significant importance for determining the grinding cost for an industrial-scale process.…”

“…These colored impurities are found as iron-bearing silicate minerals, which can be removed by sulfonate type collectors at acidic pH values (3)(4). However, based on their similar crystalline structures and physicochemical properties, flotation becomes the only option for separating, in particular, quartz and feldspar [4,[6][7][8][9][10][11]. Apart from other flotation-related parameters such as reagent type or electrolyte concentration, material-based characteristics also play an important role in selecting the pH range, collector and frother dosage, among other parameters.…”

Due to the depletion of well-known feldspar reserves in the forms of granite, trachyte and pegmatite, many investigations are focused on new and economic alternatives to these resources. Of these, gneiss is a metamorphic rock type, which is characterized by dark and light colored minerals including feldspar and quartz. In this study, Augen-Gneiss rock was subjected to flotation tests to produce alkali (Na + Ca) feldspar and quartz concentrates by adapting different flotation conditions with/without hydrofluoric acid (HF). During these tests, the effect of particle size and different reagent combinations were investigated. The results of these tests showed that, in the presence of HF, a saleable feldspar concentrate with 0.04% Fe 2 O 3 content and a saleable quartz concentrate with 98.45% SiO 2 content were obtained. Products with similar qualities to a feldspar concentrate with 0.13% Fe 2 O 3 and a quartz concentrate with 92.53% SiO 2 content were produced without HF. The results of these tests clearly showed that, compared to other types of origin, saleable quality feldspar and quartz could well be enriched with/without HF from Augen-Gneiss rock.

“…Muscovite has been shown to have permanently negatively charged basal planes, which is not dependent on the pH in aqueous solutions [11,12]. For this reason, muscovite is expected to show much greater affinity for cationic collectors than anionic collectors [13,14], and the dodecylamine (DDA) is the cationic collector that is most widely used in the flotation of muscovite [15].…”

The Influence of Roasting Temperature on the Flotation Properties of Muscovite

2016

Roasting and flotation are common techniques used in mineral processing, and they have increasingly been combined for the pre-concentration of muscovite from stone coal. The research was mainly to study flotation properties of muscovite after roasting at 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000˝C, respectively. The changes of chemical and physical properties of muscovite during the roasting process were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Zeta potential measurements, particle size analysis, and the BET surface area measurements. The results indicated that the dehydroxylation of crystal structure took place at temperatures over 600˝C. A large number of hydroxyl groups were removed from the crystal structure of muscovite at 600-1000˝C. The layer structure, surface element distribution, and electrical properties of muscovite remained after roasting. The flotation recovery of roasted muscovite samples increased with the increase in roasting temperature in the same flotation system, because the specific surface and the adsorption capacity of dodecylamine (DDA) were reduced when roasting temperature was over 600˝C. A suitable roasting temperature and dosage of reagents can be provided for the roasting-flotation of muscovite.

“…High-purity and ultra-fine micro powder quartz could be obtained by scrubbing, magnetic separation, flotation, acid-cleaning of conventional quartz deposits [7][8][9][10][11]. Comprehensive studies of the purification technology of quartz deposits were also undertaken extensively [12], so as to expand its application and improve its industrial value.…”

For comprehensive utilization of powder quartz, a detailed mineralogical analysis is needed. In this paper, the minerals collected from a powder quartz deposit in Yunnan Province and its purification products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), chemical composition, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. The raw powder quartz deposit had a simple mineral composition made of 85% quartz and 15% clay minerals kaolinite and illite with a trace amount of feldspar. It had narrow particle size distribution with whiteness of 81.4. The impurity minerals kaolinite and illite existed in the forms of aggregates with quartz or inclusions in quartz particles and could be easily removed. The mineralogical characterization suggested that the powder quartz deposit was formed by long-term weathering of feldspathic or felsic rocks, possible of pegmatitic origin.
