Calcite is separated and purified from mineral impurities by grinding calcite ore, separating calcite from the impurities by conditioning the ground ore with a cationic flotation reagent selected from the group consisting of 1-hydroxyethyl-2-heptadecenyl glyoxalidine and 1-hydroxyethyl-2-alkylimidazolines and salt derivatives thereof, wherein the alkyl portion of the imidazoline is the alkyl ...
flotation tests to recover scheelite from tailings failed due to the dilution of the concentrate by calcite. Hence to adopt the flotation process successfully, it is necessary to depress the calcite selectively which is not achieved easily(2) due to the presence of small amounts of Ca, Mg and Fe salts and the lean grade of the ores to be treated.
Figure 1 shows the floatation machine used in this study. Experimental procedure (Flotation process) The experiments were carried out in 5 L flotation cell at 10% solids. A mass of 500 g of dry sample was added to 4.5 L of water. It was then milled for 20 min and poured into a 5 L flotation cell. For the initial test, 1 g of Na. 2. CO. 3. and 1 ...
· Apatite (Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 F 2) is the most important phosphate mineral, and flotation is the main beneficiation method to separate apatite from its major gangue mineral calcite (CaCO 3).Till date, fatty acids and their salts have been widely used as collectors in the apatite/calcite flotation separation due to their low cost and strong collecting ability, but their selectivity is limited.

Uses Calcite is the mineral component of limestone which is used primarily as construction aggregates, and in production of lime and cement. Limestone also is used in a variety of commercial applications including: road construction, riprap and jetty stone, filter stone, railroad ballast, poultry grit, mineral food, sugar processing, flux stone in steel production, glass manufacture, sulfur ...
flotation rate, particle size recovery, air flow, pulp density, etc.) As a result, it is difficult to study the effects of any single factor in isolation, and compensation effects within the system can keep process changes from producing the expected effects (Klimpel, 1995). This makes it
Amino trimethylene phosphonic acid (ATMP), an eco-friendly reagent widely applied in industrial production, was employed as a depressant for flotation separation of smithsonite from calcite for the first time. Micro-flotation test results show that ATMP exhibits selective inhibition effect on calcite flotation. Calcite and smithsonite can be well separated in flotation process by applying ATMP ...
Abstract: The ore is a kind of mixed ore mainly with fluorite, which contains quartz, calcite, feldspar and sericite, belong to silicate-fluorite-calcite type ore. The content of calcite in the fluorite ore of Suichang is 5.4%. According to the characteristic of mineral, flotation tests have been done to separate fluorite.
ConclusionAnionic flotation of calcite from a calcareous siliceous sedimentary phosphorite was successfully conducted at pH 4.5 after natural depression of phosphate without any addition of phosphoric acid. Raising the pH to 9, flotation of phosphate proceeds leaving silica in the bottom of the flotation cell without using silica depressant.
In this work, N-tetradecyl-isopropanolamine (NTIA) is synthesized and used as a new collector on the flotation separation process of scheelite from calcite to further improve the efficiency of the ...
· Flotation is a process to selectively separate different minerals by using the differences in the mineral surface properties . A depressant is a kind of regulator in the flotation that it is used to increase the hydrophilicity of gangue minerals. ... It can be seen from Fig. 4 that SL had a selective depression effect on calcite flotation. The ...

the ability of a treatment process to remove particles. Two steps typically are employed: coagulation and flocculation. Coagulation is a process to neutralize charges and then to form a gelatinous mass to trap (or bridge) particles thus forming a mass large enough to settle or be trapped in the filter.
· The Problem with Calcite Processing & Flotation. The availability of high lime rock is often limited and it becomes necessary to use lower grade sources from quarries favorably located to cement plants neficiation of the lime rock in such cases is necessary to remove impurities and to secure the proper ratio of calcite to other constituents for cement specifications.
to undesired coloring of the calcite surfaces. Another problem is linked to the flotation process, more precisely to the flotation of fine grains. When floating extremely small grains the ratio between the number of air bubbles and the number of particles of the floated component is markedly in favor of the latter, and so the flotation process may
Calcite form of calcium carbonate is a satisfactory carrier mineral because of its low cost, excellent flotation response, being ... result in a more robust dispersion of the crude for the flotation process. At present, ultra- flotation products have a TiO, of less than 0.8% depending upon the crude used.
· Froth flotation is the use of the physical and chemical properties of the surface of the ore, the use of chemical separation of useful ore. In the process of froth flotation, useful minerals are separated by floating them in the foams, and the way of keeping gangue minerals in the pulp is called positive flotation, while the way of floating gangue minerals in the foam is called reverse flotation.>
The most widely industrial flotation process for the treatment of phosphate ores containing carbonate as gangue minerals, especially in China, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, use strong acids, such as H3PO4 and H2SO4 as apatite depressants, and the carbonate minerals (especially calcite and dolomite) are selectively floated with the use of fatty acids as collectors at pH between 5.5 - 6.0.
The raw ores are mainly flake graphite, gaugue minerals are calcite, chlorite, tremolite, plagioclase, garnet, kaolinite and etc. Flotation separation process with 4 stages of milling process and 5 times fine separating is adopted.
The flotation response of calcites was observed to be higher at pH 10 than at pH 8, although the mineral dissolution presented a greater initial rate at pH 8 when compared with pH 10. This result indicatesa possible influence ofthe carbonate/bicarbonate ions provided by the air on the calcite flotation …

Fluorite is an important strategic mineral. In general, fluorite ores will contain a certain amount of calcite gangue mineral. Thus, they need to be separated from each other. For an economic separation, a reverse flotation process is used to float calcite gangue from fluorite. However, little information on the separation is available. In this study, a novel reagent schedule using citric acid ...

The mechanism of influence of pulp pH on flotation of fluorite and calcite was investigated by such parameters as fluorite recovery, zeta potentials and the infrared spectroscopy about minerals at different pulp pH values. As is shown in the results, the point of zero charge (PZC) of fluorite is pH=9.5 and the PZC of calcite is pH=8.5.
The flotation process involves bulk flotation of apatite and calcite with anionic collector (fatty acid soap) at pH=10 followed by calcite flotation at pH=5.5 using H 3 PO 4 as an apatite depressant. Calcite is collected in the froth phase and apatite concentrate is the sink product ( Aquino and Furtado, 1985 ).
