In 1982, it was found that C 6-14 primary amine hydrochloride collectors were used for the flotation of feldspars in presence of HF or a mixture of HF and NaCl. The C 10-12 amine gave the best flotation results [7] [8]. The feldspar was activated whereas the quartz was

Fig. 5a shows the flotation behaviors of spodumene and feldspar as a function of pH in the presence of single collector NaOL or CTAB. In the presence of 4 × 10 −4 mol/L NaOL, the spodumene recovery steadily increased from a minimum of 8.2 % to a maximum of 73.45 % at pH 8.0 and subsequently dramatically declined to 13.25 % at pH …

The quality of feldspar is typically judged on its Na/K ratio and the coloring impurities such as Fe and Ti. Typically K-feldspar concentrates must contain a minimum of 8% of K 2O and a maximum 4% of Na 2Oto meet the requirements of the ceramics industry. As deposits containing high quality Na-feldspar or K-feldspar are becoming depleted, it is es-

Flotation is the only technique that enables the selective separation of Na and K feldspar minerals from each other. In this study, the flotation separation of Na-feldspar (albite) and K-feldspar (microcline) minerals were investigated in the presence of K + ion as counter ion. In order to identify the role of K + ions on the selective separation of …

Spodumene is one of the common hard rock lithium resources which shows reliable industrial value [1], [2].Feldspar and quartz are the main gangues associated with spodumene [3], [4].Flotation is the most common method used to concentrate spodumene, especially to concentrate …

Liquid of density (>2.62 g/cc) slightly higher than that of quartz is used to get rid of heavy minerals and a liquid of density (∼2.58 g/cc) slightly lighter than quartz is used to get rid of feldspar. The method is followed by etching with 40–48% hydrofluoric (HF) acid. This step removes the remaining feldspar, and quartz's alpha skin.

A flotation process for recovering feldspar from a feldspar containing feed material, comprising the following steps: (1) forming an aqueous suspension of a feldspar containing feed material, in the absence of hydrofluoric acid, wherein the suspension comprises from 0.004 to 0.3% wt. of a flotation reagent comprising: (a) one or more amines, containing …

The Feldspar Corporation was formerly known as Feldspar Flotation Corporation. The company was founded in 1929 and is based in Roswell, Georgia. As of August 29, 2007, The Feldspar Corporation operates as a subsidiary of Imerys SA. digitGaps report on The Feldspar Corporation delivers a detailed in-depth and comprehensive insights of the ...

The flotation performance of spodumene and feldspar with four size ranges (0–19, 19–38, 38–45 and 45–75 μm) are investigated in single mineral micro-flotation tests. The results show that the maximum spodumene recovery is obtained with coarse particles of 38–45 μm, while for feldspar, the best flotation performance is found with ...

1. Introduction. Froth flotation is the selected method for the separation of quartz and feldspar. In the conventional process, feldspar is floated from quartz by using hydrofluoric acid (HF) as activator for the feldspar and a cationic collector (amine) at pH 2–3 (O'Meara, 1939). (1979) reported that HF creates a large difference in the …

For the flotation of artificial mixed ore, the separation efficiency E (%) was used to evaluate the separation effect, and was calculated as follows [20]: (2) E = ε-γ ε m a x-γ o p t × 100 % where ε max is the theoretical maximum recovery, %; and γ opt the theoretical maximum yield, %.. For mixed mineral flotation, ε max was set to and …

Keywords: feldspar, flotation, sodium chloride, selectivity, mechanism 1. Introduction Na-feldspar (albite) and K-feldspar (orthoclase or microcline) are different feldspar minerals with similar crystal structures and close chemical and physical properties, mostly found in the same ore matrix. The selective recovery of these minerals from ...

Silica Content of Potassium Feldspar Ore by Flotation reduce the iron content [7, 13, 14]. Extensive research has been published on the application of various collectors in feldspar flotation. Cationic collectors of amine and hydrofluoric acid have been commonly used as feldspar activators to reduce the silica content in feldspar ores [4, 5, 7,

Therefore, although Fe(III) effectively improved the flotation of spodumene, it was not beneficial for the flotation separation of spodumene from feldspar and quartz. When Ca(II), Mg(II), and Cu(II) were used as activators, the adsorption amounts of α-BDDA on spodumene were significantly higher than those on feldspar and quartz, which led to …
