The flotation technique as employed by Florida phosphate producing companies for the beneficiation of fine phosphate particles has been standardized over the years. Lower recoveries of coarse phosphate rock by froth flotation technique, however, led to the development of new methods based on skin flotation of phosphate agglomerates. …
The dominant flotation process currently used for processing of siliceous phosphates in Central Florida is the Crago "Double Float" process (Giesekke, 1985; Zhang et al., 1997).The simplified flotation flowsheet is given in Fig. 1.In this process, after desliming and sizing, the ore is conditioned with fatty acids and fuel oil at a pH of 9.0–9.5.
The first commercial production of phosphate rock began in England in 1847. A wide variety of techniques and equipment is used to mine and process phosphate rocks in order to beneficiate low-grade ores and remove impurities. The eighth chapter of this book deals with mining and beneficiation of phosphate ore. The principle and …
The paper is about the froth flotation process and its application. It is a metallurgical process for the extraction of metals in a pure state from their ores: especially for sulfide ores.
"The single most important method used for the recovery and upgrading of sulfide ores", that's how G. J. Jameson described the froth flotation process in 1992. And it's true: this process, used in several processing industries, is able to selectively separate hydrophobic from hydrophilic materials, by taking advantage of the different categories …
Column flotation technology is utilised in other phosphate ore concentrators, and also in the concentration of graphite, sulfide lead-zinc ore, talc, and a zinc hydrometallurgical residue.
Organic impurities surfaced by reverse flotation, CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O surfaced by forward flotation, and then a small amount of lime phosphorus fixation and fluorine were added to the forward-flotation-filtered concentrate, such that phosphogypsum could be completely purified at a low cost. However, further experiments are required to verify …
Water washing can also remove some soluble substances, such as sodium chloride and free lime in calcined phosphate rock. Grading is often required after crushing and washing. ...

Chemical processes for phosphorus removal commonly rely on phosphate precipitation through the addition of metal salts that form sparingly soluble phosphates (Jenkins and Hermanowicz, 1991). The most commonly used for this purpose are: lime (Ca(OH) 2), aluminum sulfate or alum (Al. 2 (SO. 4) 3), aluminum chloride (AlCl. 3), …

control of a flotation process are classified as follows: The tendency of the ore to have variable physical, metallurgical, and surface properties produces significant changes in a flotation circuit. The particle size range of the flotation feed can be substantial because of ore hardness changes and changes in the operation of the grinding circuit.
