The transition of the mineral processing sectors, which depend mainly on various petroleum-
origin chemicals, to the green industry based on the production of greener materials and the …

Scheelite has emerged as the primary source of global tungsten resources. The flotation
separation of scheelite, which is hindered by its interface similarity with calcium-containing …

Differential adsorption of surfactants (eg, collectors and depressants) on the minerals plays
a key role in mineral flotation through selectively altering the surface wettability of minerals …

Froth flotation is widely used as an effective method for separating apatite from dolomite.
However, it is of difficulty to realize the efficient separation of apatite and dolomite using the …

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 …

The separation of magnesite and dolomite has always been a difficult problem in flotation
production, one of the reasons is that the dissolved Ca 2+ ions from dolomite weaken the …

Hypothesis The adsorption mechanisms of fatty acids on minerals are largely debated from
years, and their understanding is now required to improve flotation processing in the critical …

The separation of apatite from calcite has been recognized as one of the most difficult
subjects in mineral processing owing to their similar surface properties, thus finding high …

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 …

The separation of scheelite from other calcium-containing minerals via flotation is
problematic because of their similar surface properties and response to conventional …
