Based on the experimental results, flotation processes carried out on raw feed allowed the recovery of the majority of REE minerals (>50%), but the process was unselective, where clay and silicate gangue minerals reported into the flotation concentrate along with the REE minerals. However, desliming before flotation in the …
It has been shown that the performance of frothers is extremely depending on their chemical structure, and different chemical structures may give different flotation recovery for mineral particles [24].A review of the effect of frother in plant practice is available [25].The effect of frother structure on the selectivity and recovery of various …
Clay minerals such as kaolinite, bentonite and smectite, which are often associated with copper, gold and other valuable minerals, place a widespread problem in mineral flotation. There have been numerous observations of these clay minerals having a deleterious effect on mineral flotation grade and recovery, with simultaneous …
The nature of a clay mineral in aqueous solution is related to its crystal structure. Most clay minerals are phyllosilicates which are made up of silicon‑oxygen tetrahedrons (T) and aluminum‑oxygen octahedrons (O) in certain proportions [9].Montmorillonite (T-O-T), kaolinite (T-O) and talc (T-O-T) are common clay minerals …

Flotation is the most effective method for separating fine coal from gangue particles Ni et al. 2018a, b; Yoon 2022 . There are many ultrafine gangue minerals in the flotation pulp, which are produced by grinding or mudding of the clay minerals. These minerals include kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite.
A Copper Flotation Flowsheet. Because the copper in this type of ore usually assays only plus or minus 1% copper, the porphyry copper operations must be relatively large in order to be commercial. The flowsheet in this study illustrates a typical 3,000 ton per day operation. In general most operations of this type have two or more …
However, with the addition of the maximum tested amount of illite and kaolinite (i.e. 30%), the final copper recovery only slightly changed to 88%. A similar trend has been reported recently for the effect of clay minerals on the copper flotation using chalcopyrite (Farrokhpay and Ndlovu, 2013). The reduction in the copper recovery due to the ...
EFFECTS OF CLAY MINERALS ON VISCOSITY AND COPPER ENTRAINMENT LOSSES IN SMELTING SLAGS. Materials Science, Engineering. 2017. Hydrous aluminium phyllosilicate group minerals, often broadly classified as 'clays', exist as common gangue components in most copper porphyritic ore deposits. In the case of …

In understanding the effects of clay minerals on flotation, it is important to fully identify the mechanical entrainment mechanism. ... Illite is a clay mineral, and a member of the true mica group, which forms platy, fibrous, or ...
The presence of clay leads to low recoveries in the process of flotation of copper ores which is also reflected in a decrease of the concentrates grades. Due to this, the scientific interest in studying the effect and mechanisms of action of clay minerals in the flotation process has increased, which has resulted in a better understanding of the …
Abstract. It has been well acknowledged that clay minerals could impose deleterious effects on flotation performance by affecting pulp rheology. To date, it is still not clear regarding the role of clay minerals in influencing froth rheology which has been increasingly recognized as an important froth property in determining flotation …
The possible reasons for such decreases in flotation rate constant were reported as the occurrence of slime coating or physical adsorption of clay mineral particles onto the copper-containing ...

Effect of clay minerals on copper flotation. The effects of various amounts of bentonite and kaolin on copper flotation are shown in Fig. 2(a) and (b), respectively. Flotation tests were performed with Telfer clean ore as a laboratory baseline in the absence of clay samples. The presence of either bentonite or kaolin affected copper …
Clay minerals have a deleterious effect on the mineral flotation process. Generally, two major phenomena are observed in industry when processing high clay ores: no froth formed on the top of the pulp phase and few valuable minerals loaded on the top of froth. This is an ARC Linkage project with support from Pionera, a reagent company manufacturing …

The clay minerals that resulted from alteration, along with copper sulfide minerals, are the major mineral phases that are fed to the copper concentrator plant (Shahabpoor, 1982). In the concentrator plant, after three stages of crushing, the ore is fed to ball mills in closed circuit with cyclones to produce 70% of the product finer than 75 μm.
Usually, before flotation, the feed is deslimed, removing any fine clay minerals present. In the first flotation stage, mica is removed with an amine collector. In the second stage, titanium and iron oxide minerals, such as ilmenite and magnetite, are removed using an anionic collector.
[76][77][78] According to the characteristics of layer type, the clay minerals can be divided into two groups: 1:1-type clay mineral (like kaolin) and 2:1-type clay mineral (like montmorillonite). ...
Perhaps the most detrimental clay minerals in an ore are montomorillonite and chamosite. Experimental work conducted with different frothers on ores containing montomorillonite and illite clay showed that the frother type had a significant effect on the rate of copper flotation and recovery. This effect is illustrated in Figure 12.9.
The aim of this study is to understand the effects of talc and muscovite (as representative of Mg and Al containing clays, respectively) on the flotation of a copper ore through examination of the grade and recovery behaviour, pulp rheology, and froth …
Unfortunately no studies were found to evaluate copper minerals; however, it is worth mentioning the work of Liu and Peng (2015), who assessed the flotation of coal minerals with high clay content, both in freshwater and in saline water (processed water). The dispersing agent (lignosulfonate) showed results that much depending on its dosage …

Two important factors for potash flotation are (a) the presence of clay in the ore and (b) the presence of carnallite in the ore, because Mg 2+ ions associated with carnallite generally depress KCl flotation. Clay minerals may compete with sylvite in adsorption of amine collector, reducing floated concentrate yield and grade, causing …
