The efficient separation of ilmenite is a difficult problem in minerals flotation. For this issue, α-aminooctyl phosphinic acid (APA) was developed as a selective collector to separate ilmenite.
Cationic flotation is a promising method for separating scheelite from calcite at room temperature, because of the significant difference between their surface charges. Three quaternary ammonium salts, i.e., didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC), trioctylmethylammonium chloride (TOAC), and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), …
Flotation separation of scheelite from calcium minerals is difficult because of the existence of the same cations in the minerals, and they have similar physico-chemical characteristics such as solubility, hardness, specific gravity, and point of zero charge.1,2,3,4, – 5 Conventional collectors used in the flotation of scheelite ores are ...
The activation of scheelite and wolframite by lead nitrate with benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) as collector was investigated by means of micro flotation test, zeta potential measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The flotation results confirmed that the addition of lead nitrate can …
Except wolframite monominerals, other monominerals, such as scheelite, fluorite, calcite, quartz and so on, exist in wolframite flotation. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the ...
With the depletion of easily mined and separated wolframite, scheelite has become the primary source of tungsten. Flotation is the primary technique used to enrich …
Scheelite associated with calcium-containing minerals such as calcite and fluorite is difficult to separate by flotation because of the Ca ions contained in the mineral lattices, which cause scheelite to have similar surface properties and floatability to gangue minerals. Traditional collectors such as oleic acid need to add a large amount of sodium silicate as gangue …
The hydroxamic acid reagents are extremely pervasive in the collector of scheelite flotation. The high flotation cost is caused by its large dosage and high price. A novel auxiliary collector 4-methodybenzoicacid (4-MBA) was used in combination with benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) to optimize the flotation reagents system for scheelite in the study.
The occurrence of either scheelite (CaWO 4) or wolframite ([Fe,Mn]WO 4) in tungsten deposits is generally explained by the Ca content of the host rocks, but scheelite/wolframite ratios in granitoids-hosted tungsten deposits are highly variable, ranging from scheelite-dominated to wolframite-dominated.Wolframite is also commonly replaced by …
1. Introduction. At present, world's reserves of tungsten are estimated to be 3 × 10 6 t [1].China, the most rich country in tungsten resources, has about 40% of the world's reserves of tungsten [2].Most of tungsten ores, particularly wolframite and scheelite of industrial interest, occur in the deposits with very low content of WO 3 (0.1–2.5%) that is not economically viable …
Tungsten is mainly derived from scheelite and wolframite, and with the increasing depletion of wolframite, the development and utilization technology of scheelite has become a current research hotspot [5], [6], [7]. ...
