Impact of ultrasonic pretreatment on the flotation of lignite particles of different size fractions

Yuqiang Mao et al.

Summary: The impacts of ultrasonic pretreatment on flotation of lignite particles of different size fractions were investigated in this study. The results showed that ultrasonic pretreatment significantly improved the combustible matter recovery of coarse particles, while decreasing the recovery of fine particles. The pretreatment caused more breakage in the 0.125-0.074 mm size fraction compared to other fractions. Additionally, ultrasonic pretreatment removed high ash minerals and reduced pore/cracks, thereby increasing the hydrophobicity and floatability of lignite.

Recovery of valuable metals from WPCB fines by centrifugal gravity separation and froth flotation

Nazlim Ilkyaz Dinc et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the recycling of gold, silver, and copper from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) using physical and physicochemical methods. Various operational factors, such as gravitational force and fluidization water, were studied for their effects on separation performance, resulting in high recovery rates of valuable metals. Foaming techniques and frothers were successfully utilized to produce stable foams and sink products with high metal content from WPCB fines. Overall, a simple and eco-friendly enrichment technique was developed for the concentration of valuable metals before final chemical processing.

Microscale insights into the influence of grinding media on spodumene micro-flotation using mixed anionic/cationic collectors

Liping Luo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of grinding media with different shapes on the flotation performance of spodumene and its potential mechanism from microscale insights. The results showed that rod milled spodumene exhibited higher floatability compared to ball milled ones under anionic/cationic collectors system. The rod medium enhanced the adsorption of collectors on the spodumene surfaces, which can be attributed to the exposure of specific crystal planes and the rougher surface of rod milled products.

Interactions between bubble and particles of key minerals of diasporic bauxite through the extended DLVO theory

Ningning Zhang et al.

Summary: In this paper, the interaction forces between diasporic bauxite minerals (diaspore and aluminosilicate minerals) and air bubbles were investigated using the extended DLVO theory. The results showed that the interactions were mainly repulsive in collectorless solution, and the electrolyte concentration had a significant influence on the interaction forces. The addition of collector reduced the adhesion energy barriers between the minerals and bubbles. Each mineral exhibited a specific interface interaction response with the bubbles under different collector types and pH values.

Insights into the influence of temperature on the adsorption behavior of sodium oleate and its response to flotation of quartz

Shaohang Cao et al.

Summary: In this study, the influence of temperature on the flotation of quartz was investigated. It was found that increasing temperature improved the flotation recovery of quartz by reducing the critical micelle concentration and surface tension of the NaOL solution, increasing the adsorption of calcium species on the quartz surface, and enhancing the interaction between NaOL and the quartz surface.

Detailed insights into improved chlorite removal during hematite reverse flotation by sodium alginate

Yafeng Fu et al.

Summary: Chlorite impairs the hematite reverse flotation pulp, but the addition of sodium alginate can effectively mitigate this issue and enhance chlorite recovery rate. Surface tension, solution viscosity, and foam properties tests revealed that sodium alginate improves foam stability, reducing foam generation time and increasing liquid volume in the foam layer. Theoretical analysis of Plateau's foam structure balance law supports these findings.
