Iron ore tailing is a major solid waste requiring advanced recycling methods because ore tailing powder is polluting air and water resources. For instance, about 300 million tons of tailings are disposed yearly in 1229 iron ore tailings dams in the Hebei province in China. Iron ore tailings can be recycled as functional materials because these tailings are …

In the flotation of iron ores, the difference in flotation rates between iron oxides and gangue minerals needs to be enlarged, which can be achieved by changing the surface …
The flotation method of concentration, used extensively for other metal ores, has only recently been utilized for hematite iron ores. It can be applied as either the sole concentration process or as a final concentration stage to ensure a high-grade product. In the flotation process, air is bubbled through a suspension of fine iron ore in water

In the Anshan region of China, the typical carbonatebearing iron ore includes siderite and hematite as valuable minerals and quartz as the main gangue mineral. A two-step flotation process ( Fig ...
The selectivity of flotation separation is influenced by a complex combination of mineralogical, chemical, physical and engineering parameters. The choice of a flotation method for a given iron ore, therefore, involves a careful assessment of these parameters. Of foremost importance is the mineralogical characteristics of the ore.
In many iron ore mines, wet high-intensity magnetic separation is being preferred in the concentration of low-grade hematite ores to avoid the flotation methods. The other important factor is the selection of magnetic separator which can capture the hydroxyl-bearing iron minerals such as goethite and limonite that are feebly magnetic.
The significant applications of iron ore flotation are reviewed along with an abbreviated discussion on theory and reagent use. Problems or conditions which have militated against a widespread adoption of the flotation process by the iron ore industry, are discussed in contextual relationship to supply, economics, alternatives, and process …
The two major aluminum-containing minerals in iron ore are kaolinite (Al 2 (Si 2 O 5 ) (OH) 4) and gibbsite (Al (OH) 3 ). Some progress has been made in using flotation to separate kaolinite from hematite. High levels of phosphorus in iron ore attract a penalty because this makes steel brittle.
non-toxicity have been used for reverse flotation of iron ores for many years in China [16–18]. However, using the mixed fatty acid s produced by waste cooking oil as flotation collectors directly,
Zeta-potential measurements have been completed on <5 μm size fraction of pure magnetite (supplied by Jianshan iron ore plant) and quartz (supplied by China Jiangsu Kaida Co. Ltd.).. 2.2. Reagents. The amine collector used in the flotation process is an esterquat M-302 which was prepared as following synthetic steps:
The main concentration method for iron ore enrichment is the reverse cationic flotation, in which the iron ore, typically hematite, is depressed (Filippov et al., 2010; Ma et al., 2011) using ...
Anionic forward flotation focuses on floating iron ore particles, leaving gangue minerals in the tailings. Specific reagents are added to enhance the selectivity and binding of particles to air bubbles. However, achieving satisfactory recovery rates might be challenging when dealing with IOTs with complex mineral compositions and high mud …
The study was done with the focus on developing alternative routes that will allow the concentration of iron ore by flotation without a depressant reagent. 2. Materials and methods2.1. Minerals and reagents. Pure quartz, kaolinite, and hematite mineral samples were used in this study. The kaolinite sample (Morbihan) was provided by …
Nowadays all Brazilian iron ore concentrators use starch as iron oxides depressant. This study evaluated the application of other depressants, which are commonly used in other flotation systems ...

Fig. 4 presents the influence of different starch concentrations on the flotation of BHQ ore with the DDA concentration fixed at 32 g/t. As evident from the figure, all the four starches acted as depressants for the hematite. The iron grade of the hematite rich non float increased with the increase in the starch concentration.
The rich iron ores normally are only comminuted and classified. The low-grade iron ore like Brazilian Itabirite have to be concentrated using gravity and magnetic concentration or flotation. Froth flotation is the most important concentration method, which is utilized in poor iron ore concentration.
