The Life Cycle of Water Used in Flotation: a Review

Due to the limitation of freshwater sources and increasingly stringent disposal standards [13, 74, 79], the minerals industry has attempted to increase water use efficiency, reduce freshwater utilization, and minimize water discharge, or seek alternatives to fresh water [57, 59, 78, 84, 101].It is widely accepted that flotation is the most …

Investigation of the reverse flotation of iron ore in three …

1. Introduction. Flotation is a selective process for separating minerals from each other based on particle hydrophobicity. The flotation separation efficiency depends on the recoveries of the mineral species by both true flotation and entrainment (Cilek, 2009, Neethling and Cilliers, 2009, Wang et al., 2015).Both chemical variables and …
