Fluorite, as a scarce non-renewable strategic non-metallic mineral resource, is the primary
raw material for fluorine products used in diverse fields such as metallurgy, national …

The anisotropic physicochemical properties of calcite, including cleavage nature, surface
(free) energy, surface relaxation degree, wettability and adsorption behaviour, were revisited …

The surface wettability and flotation dynamic characteristics of calcite are of great
significance for separating it from other coexisting minerals, and the surface roughness …

Grinding for mineral liberation is a prerequisite for a successful flotation separation. Different
grinding media produce mineral particles with different surface properties and flotability. In …

Surface roughness affects both the adsorption capacity of collector and mineral flotation
separation. To investigate the role of surface roughness in quartz flotation, in this study …

Metal ions are commonly used as activators to improve the anionic collector flotation of
oxide minerals with an accepted activation mechanism that the prior addition of metal ions …

Fluorite is usually separated from calcite by froth flotation method using large amounts of
sodium silicate depressant, which can cause trouble in the loss of fluorite and wastewater …

Crushing and grinding, the prerequisite processes in many industries, are employed in
areas such as minerals processing and powder technology. During these processes …

Difficulty in separating calcite and fluorite owing to their similar surface properties is the
focus of research in the field of mineral processing. To increase the selectivity difference …

Flotation tests were performed on a skarn ore to attain the selective separation of scheelite
(CaWO 4) from fluorite, apatite, and silicates. Fluorite and apatite constitute common gangue …
