Influence of Mineralogical-Technological Features of the Partomchorr Apatite-Containing Ores on the Choice of Reagent Flotation Regimes

Flotation separation of titanite concentrate from apatite-nepheline-titanite ores of anomalous zones of the Khibiny deposits

“…Mineral titanite is a calcium titanosilicate (CaTiSiO5) containing about 40 % TiO2. It is known that from the current [14,15] and stored wastes of processing apatite-nepheline ores [16], it is possible to recover titanite concentrate with 28-34 % TiO2 content applying the flotation-magnetic technology. Studies have shown that such titanite concentrate can be used to produce sorbents [17,18], tanning agents and sealants [19,20], composite electrode materials [21], and other inorganic materials that are in demand on the Russian market [22].…”
