Studies on the influence of a flotation collector reagent on iron ore …
Agglomeration of iron ore concentrates cleaned by flotation (flotated pellet feeds) has always been recognized as a problem [3]. Balling of flotated pellet feeds not only tends to produce weaker green pellets, but the properties of the incoming pellet feed also show continuous variations, which causes instability in the balling circuits.

During flotation, too coarse ore particles (greater than 0.1mm) and very fine ore particles (less than 0.006mm) do not float well, and the recovery rate is low. In the flotation of coarse particles, due to the larger weight, the shedding force of the ore particles increases. Then you need: (1) Use a sufficient amount of the most effective ...
