A large number of potash mine tailings was produced by ore flotation, which were characterized by high insoluble matter and low grade[5]. Nonionic PAM was used in combination with other chemicals ... Bauxite wastewater. In the treatment of bauxite ore dressing tailings, the content of fine particles in tailings was high.

Column flotation tests were performed on the bauxite ore to evaluate the impact of the packing medium on flotation performance. As shown in Table 3, without packing, 50.57% of Al 2 O 3 was

The studied bauxite ore is intended to the refractory industry, whose market specifications request for an iron content lesser than 2.5%. The objective of this study was to investigate the applicability of direct flotation route so as to concentrate bauxite ore from Barro Alto-GO. The sample was initially comminuted and characterized.

Froth flotation method: This method is usually employed for sulphide ores. In this method, a suspension is prepared of the powdered ore and water. Collectors and froth stabilizers are added to the suspension. The skimmed froth is dried for further processes. Chemical method: Here, we treat the ore with suitable chemicals.

An important result of recent bauxite flotation research was the opening in 2002 of the first bauxite mineral processing plant in China (and in the world) which uses direct flotation to prepare a bauxite concentrate for the Bayer process (Zhao et al., 2010). One million tons/yr of bauxite ore can be treated at this plant.
