After more than a century applying flotation to the mining industry, two completely different
strategies have been introduced for processing purposes. One is the classical approach viz …

Scanning electron microscopy based automated mineralogy (SEM-AM) is a combined
analytical tool initially designed for the characterisation of ores and mineral processing …

The comminution of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) produces a powder containing the
active cell components, commonly referred to as “black mass.” Recently, froth flotation has …

The treatment of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using froth flotation has recently
gained interest as a method to separate valuable lithium transition-metal oxides (LMOs) and …

At present, traditional inhibitors applied for selective flotation of fluorapatite from dolomite
generally own low selectivity, high toxicity, large dosages and high costs. Thus, this research …

In this study, a selective depressant sodium alginate (SA) was used to improve the flotation
performance of separating apatite from dolomite. The flotation results show that SA can …

Flotation separation of apatite and calcite has always been difficult because of their similar
physiochemical properties. To realize the flotation separation of the two minerals, many …

The mining industry generates large amounts of tailings every year. The most common
destination for the tailings is deposition in tailings storage facilities (TSFs), which can have …

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the selective flotation of a multi calcium-
bearing minerals ore, focusing on the efficient removal of dolomite and calcite impurities …

Phosphate ores upgraded by froth flotation are widely used as vital raw materials for the
sustainable production of phosphate fertilizer to maintain the food supply. In the flotation …
