In two of the earliest studies found, a urea-based polymer was used as a depressant for the flotation of coal, potash, [162] and phosphate. [163] This is a low molecular weight polymer that acts ...
Beginners guide to thickeners. Thickening is a process where a slurry or solid-liquid mixture is separated to a dense slurry containing most of the solids and an overflow of essentially clear water (or liquor in leaching processes). The driving force for the separation is gravitational, where the differences in phase densities drive the ...
The unique features of potash flotation include solubility of sylvite in water, the size of particles floated and fast kinetics. Particles up to 2.3 mm can be floated and …
The coarse flotation concentrate was conveyed to 0.3-m diameter x 1.0-m long ball mill in closed circuit with a high-frequency ™ screen. Conditions were established to produce a cleaner flotation feed of suitable grind size (P 80 = 80 µm). The ball mill discharge was combined with the fine concentrate from the column circuit and …
Particles up to 2.3 mm can be floated and about 50% of flotation feed can be removed in the rougher stage in few minutes. The main challenges in potash flotation are the recovery of potash from slimes, flotation efficiency in the presence of carnallite and recovery of coarse potash grains. A review of potash flotation shows that there is still ...

The paper comprises the study of the enrichment process of potash ore with the addition of industrial oils I-8A, I-12A, I-30A to the base complex collector as an additional hydrophobizator. RESULTS. Comparative studies of flotation using liquid paraffins and industrial oils have shown the effectiveness of the latter.

Potash losses in the deslime product and process brine requirements increase as the insol content increases. ... The feed for these settling tests was prepared by diluting the insoluble material with saturated brine to 1.0 percent solids pulp density. ... After conditioning, a drop of frother was added, and a potash flotation rougher ...
The adverse effect of residual slime quantities on KCl flotation may be prevented by pretreatment of the sylvite flotation feed materials with organic depressants. A peculiarity of such depressants in potash ore cation flotation, as compared to flotation of other minerals, is that its essential purpose is to create a "screen" cover that ...
The potash rougher flotation concentrate, while containing substantially all of the sylvite values, also contains fine entrained halite and locked sylvite-halite particles. ... Batch flotation tests were conducted on a selected minus 6- plus 20-mesh feed that contained 15.1 percent K2O and 4.1 percent water insolubles. The sample was …
Potash ore flotation is carried out in saturated sodium-potassium chloride (NaCl-KCl) brine (6–7 mol L –1 ), 1 which causes intense micelle formation and salting …

The final deslimed material was used as potash flotation feed. This procedure was adopted to simulate actual commercial operating conditions. Insoluble-Slimes Flotation. Batch insoluble-slimes flotation tests were conducted in a Fagergren laboratory flotation cell. In each test, 1 kilogram of ore was scrubbed 5 minutes at 27 …
The lowest flotation selectivity was observed for the fine-grained ore sample (0.1–0.25 mm). The combined ultrasonic treatment of this sample during conditioning and flotation reduced the ...
Abstract. As the main resource of potash fertilizer, high grade of sylvite (KCl) is mainly separated from halite (NaCl) in soluble potash ores using flotation. An effective flotation collector determines the separation efficiency of sylvite. However, the collector adsorption mechanism is still the subject of much debate due to high ions ...
In this work, the effect of sonication on the selective flotation and separation contrast between sylvite KCl and halite NaCl in saturated salt solutions was investigated. …

This may make the phosphate flotation plant run more stable when the slime content in the feed fluctuates. 3.5 Potash Flotation with CMC and Guar Gum. Flotation …
POTASH The liberation of potash is site-specific. In some cases, potash particles liberate with very high grade at over 3-mm. In other cases, good liberation is achieved at finer sizes (i.e., passing 0.500-mm). As a result, plant circuitry can vary to a large degree. Plants may or may not include a coarse flotation circuit depending on the
In this regard, air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) flotation was examined as a process alternative for the removal of such insoluble slimes from potash ores. The effects of reagent concentration and ASH operating variables on the recovery of insolubles were studied for a typical plant feed from the Saskatchewan potash field.

The effect of the new collector and sonication on the selectivity and separation contrast in flotation between halite NaCl and sylvite KCl from saturated salt solutions was investigated.
In potash flotation, the aim is to separate sylvite from halite using cationic collectors interacting with sylvinite feed, known as the pulp (Perucca 2003). Flotation is a …

the slime particles prior to flotation. Slimes flocculants are conditioned with a collector and floated in two stages in conventional flotation cells. The desliming stage is con-sidered critical, as a virtually slime-free prod-uct is necessary to feed the potash flotation stage, in order to minimise reagent costs and to ensure good potash recovery.
