Introduction. Quartz is the major gangue mineral present in iron ores. Flotation is the usual concentration method employed for the ores in the fine size range (<149. μm).. Different flotation routes are available: (i) reverse cationic flotation of quartz; (ii) direct anionic flotation of iron oxides; (iii) reverse anionic flotation of activated quartz.

Quaternary ammonium compounds are found to be more selective than primary amines in reverse flotation of iron ore [83, 84].The classical theory explains that adsorption mechanism of amines on quartz molecules is electrostatic in nature and stabilised by hydrophobic association of hydrocarbon chains.
iron oxide from floating. This is commonly referred to as 'reverse' flotation. Normally silica is floated using an amine as the flotation reagent. But "reverse" flotation using anionic collectors is also applicable to activated rock minerals (e.g., C2+ activation of silica) whereby the iron-bearing minerals are depressed.

The reverse flotation of Itabirite iron ore is typically performed after a desliming step in which most of the sub-10 µm particles are removed ...
Iron ore handling, which may account for 20–50% of the total delivered cost of raw materials, covers the processes of transportation, storage, feeding, and washing of the ore en route to or during its various stages of treatment in the mill.. Since the physical state of iron ores in situ may range from friable, or even sandy materials, to monolithic …
In the flotation of iron ores, the difference in flotation rates between iron oxides and gangue minerals needs to be enlarged, which can be achieved by changing the surface …
In order to enhance the reverse flotation effect of hematite, dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DTAC) and a mixed anionic/cationic collector of DTAC and tall oil were selected for flotation studies on quartz and hematite. Surface tension tests, FT-IR, XPS analysis, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were also conducted in …
The reverse flotation process is widely used in iron ore, bauxite, phosphate ore, and kaolin ore. The main components of iron reverse flotation froth are quartz and a small amount of hematite and magnetic iron ore. The flow chart of the reverse flotation production process of an iron ore dressing plant is shown in Fig. 3 (a).
2. Flotation routes for iron ore The flotation of iron ore was first investigated in America starting in 1931 (Iwasaki 1983, 1999; Uwadiale 1992).
