Assessing Machine learning-based approaches for Silica concentration estimation in Iron Froth flotation Abstract: In the mining industry, specifically in the flotation process, there is a challenge associated to noninvasive, real-time contaminant and impurities estimation. Achieving predictions on contaminant levels has a high impact …
This is why reverse anionic flotation of iron ore using oleic acid or its soaps is usually performed in a strongly alkaline environment (i.e., above pH 11). Fuerstenau and Cummins [28] concluded that, when oleate was used as collector, the suitable pH value was between 11 and 12 in the flotation of quartz.
