X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used for mineral assaying after flotation. The generated nano-silica had an average particle size distribution of 35–41 nm. The flotation performance of the nano-frother was benchmarked with a commercial conventional frother (SasFrother). At an optimum nano-frother dosage of 20 g/t a recovery of 73.8%, 77.0%, 84.0 ...
The Ione HMC (heavy mineral concentrate) project is located in Ione, CA approximately 35 miles Southeast of Sacramento, CA, and is a privately owned, fully permitted active mining operation. It consists of multiple gravity-concentrating stage plant that in turn produces a heavy mineral concentrate, while utilizing re-circulating water.

In line with the principles of cleaner production, the removal of monazite via reverse flotation was investigated with a view to reducing the radioactivity of a heavy mineral sands waste stream.
The main mineral processing equipment used in the separation stage of flotation process is flotation machine, mixing tank, and thickener. The use of a single reverse flotation process cannot effectively remove impurities in the ore, and the magnesium oxide content of the selected magnesium concentrate is still as high as 0.35%.
The target of this study is the optimization of an industrial froth flotation process of silica sand to minimize the Fe2O3 and heavy minerals content.
Heavy minerals (HMs) are used in many high-tech applications (e.g. nuclear reactors, photovoltaic cells, electronics, green, and nano- and space technology), and thus global demand is increasing day by day. This review article is focused on the global distribution, genesis, economic geology, exploration and exploitation, demand (i.e. past, present, and future status …
In low-grade and complex copper ores, the specific gangue minerals present can vary depending on the ore deposit, and silicate minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals are the most common [3, 8].Recently, amorphous silica, a non-crystalline form of silica with a relatively low particle density and complicated rheological properties, has garnered …

A separation process is provided for treating a feed material comprising silica, feldspar, and metal impurities, including at least one of mica, iron impurities, or refractory heavy minerals, to form one or more products for use in making glass. In the process, the feed material is floated in the presence of a depressant to inhibit the flotation of feldspar and thereby form a concentrate ...
The level of iron in silica sand determines its ultimate application in glass making. Iron levels range from 0.1% Fe 2 O 3 for the manufacture of amber and green glass, through 0.03% for clear glass and less than 0.015% for table ware. The sand studied had already been processed for the manufacture of container glass and flat glass and had an iron content in the …

Coal gasification is a promising clean coal technology that converts fuel into synthetic gas at high temperatures [1], [2].Coal gasification fine slag (CGFS), as a waste by-product of the coal gasification process, is composed of residual carbon and inorganic minerals [3].Over 33 million tonnes of CGFS are produced annually in China, which has led to the issue of the proper …
Flotation is mainly used to separate feldspar from silica sand, and can also be used to remove clay minerals such as mica and secondary iron from silica sand. The most typical process is to use hydrofluoric acid as the activator, and use an amine cationic collector for flotation under strong acidity (pH=2～3).
