Froth flotation of phosphate rock
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of froth flotation is traced from its earliest-known use through the discoveries leading to the present knowledge of the science. The factors influencing the flotation of non-sulfide and non-metallic minerals are discussed, and the machines used in commercial flotation operations are described. Experimental work on the flotation beneficiation of phosphate rock is presented as an application of the theoretical aspects of flotation. The results of this work are interpreted on the basis of their commercial application. vi

Frothing Phenomena in Phosphate Gangue Flotation from Magnetite Fines with Fatty Acid based Collector and MIBC Frother
Dephosphorization of magnetite fines at LKAB is carried out by floating the phosphorous gangue using a fatty acid based collector namely Atrac and MIBC frother. Excessive and stable froth formation in flotation led to an unnecessary step of diluting the phosphate froth gangue component to transport to tailings damn. In this study the influence of reagents and their combinations on the froth pro...
متن کاملEstimation of metallurgical parameters of flotation process from froth visual features
The estimation of metallurgical parameters of flotation process from froth visual features is the ultimate goal of a machine vision based control system. In this study, a batch flotation system was operated under different process conditions and metallurgical parameters and froth image data were determined simultaneously. Algorithms have been developed for measuring textural and physical froth ...
متن کاملAn On-Line Machine Vision Flotation Froth Analysis Platform
Froth flotation is a popular process used for the extraction of certain minerals from ore. The effective automatic control of this process has great financial importance. Utilising machine vision as the measurement component of an automatic flotation control system has several advantages: it is a cost effective solution due to its non-contacting sensors and consequent low maintenance, as well a...
متن کاملAnalysis of Flotation Froth Appearance by Design of Experiments
Flotation is one of the most important mineral concentration techniques. It is known that the appearance of the froth in the flotation cells tells much about the state of the flotation process. A machine vision measurement device was used to compute dynamical, morphological and colour variables of the froth on the top of a flotation cell during a set of experiments. In order to examine the depe...
متن کاملModeling of Texture and Color Froth Characteristics for Evaluation of Flotation Performance in Sarcheshmeh Copper Pilot Plant, Using Image Analysis and Neural Networks
Texture and color appearance of froth is a discreet qualitative tool for evaluating the performance of flotation process. The structure of a froth developed on the flotation cell has a significant effect on the grade and recovery of copper concentrate. In this work, image analysis and neural networks have been implemented to model and control the performance of such a system. The result reveals...
