Slime coating is a significant phenomenon in froth flotation. The adverse effects of slime
coating, by which a value mineral is covered by slimes and prevented from direct contact …

In the context of rising anthropogenic activities and world conflicts, there is an urgent need
for energy supply, such as nuclear power from uranium minerals. Nonetheless, uranium is …

We present elemental and isotopic data detailing how the Mg isotope system behaves in
natural and experimentally synthesized clay minerals. We show that the bulk Mg isotopic …

Clay minerals are widely present in various ore deposits as gangue minerals. The
processing of high-clay-content ores is becoming a significant challenge for the mining …

Tailings storage is a prescient issue in mining, representing a visible and destructive liability.
Dewatering tailings to a paste-like consistency is a popular option to reduce tailings volumes …

Formation damage has the potential to impair and weaken reservoir productivity and
injectivity, causing substantial economic losses. Oil and gas wells can be damaged by …

In this study, the effect of bentonite and kaolinite minerals with low and high crystallinity on
pulp rheology and the flotation of copper and gold minerals was investigated. It was found …

The flotation process of fine non-coking coal from kaolinite was enhanced by anionic
polyacrylamide. The influence of anionic polyacrylamide on the surface properties of …

Froth flotation has been widely used in upgrading iron ores. Iron ore flotation can be
performed in two technical routes: direct flotation of iron oxides and reverse flotation of …

The deleterious effects of clays on flotation performance are widely acknowledged but the
mechanisms involved are not clearly established. Moreover, the concentrations beyond …
