The Flotation Separation of Magnesite and Limonite Using an Amine Collector

In order to reduce the iron impurities in magnesite ore and improve the purity of magnesium products, the difference in floatability between magnesite and limonite has been studied by using mixtures with a collecting agent—KD (cationic amine collectors, containing soluble components). Sodium hexamet...

description In order to reduce the iron impurities in magnesite ore and improve the purity of magnesium products, the difference in floatability between magnesite and limonite has been studied by using mixtures with a collecting agent—KD (cationic amine collectors, containing soluble components). Sodium hexametaphosphate, pH, sodium silicate, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose were used as regulators. Adsorption mechanisms of the reagents on minerals were analyzed by a zeta potential analyzer and infrared spectroscopy. Sodium silicate increased the floatability of both minerals at 11.6. All the three regulators reduced the zeta potential of both minerals, while KD increased the zeta potential of magnesite and decreased the zeta potential of limonite. All the three regulators were likely chemically adsorbed on the surface of both minerals; KD has electrostatic adsorption on the surface of the minerals.
