Abstract:
Froth flotation processes, useful for beneficiating base metal mineral values from metal sulfide ore, utilize a collector comprising an N-butoxycarbonyl-O-alkylthionocarbamate selected from the group consisting of N-butoxycarbonyl-O-methylthionocarbamate, N-butoxycarbonyl-O-ethylthionocarbamate, N-butoxycarbonyl-O-propylthiononocarbamate, N-butoxycarbonyl-O-butylthionocarbamate, N-butoxycarbonyl-O-pentylthionocarbamate, and N-butoxycarbonyl-O-hexylthionocarbamate.
Abstract:
A process for the flotation of coarse potash ore fractions in an aqueous brine containing frother that comprises: (a) using a column flotation device in which air bubbles are generated by a sparger that utilizes high intensity shearing to mix and disperse air into brine containing frother; (b) removing a portion of the suspension at another point in the direction of flow of the suspension to regulate the upward flow rate of the suspension past the point where the air is dispersed into the suspension and thereby reducing fine particles entrainment in the froth product. The suspension can be conditioned with an aqueous composition comprising a hydrocarbon extender oil and a substantially saturated long chain primary mine, optionally comprising an acid, such as a mineral acid or carboxylic acid, to emulsify the oil in the composition, or can be conditioned with an aqueous composition comprising a long chain primary amine having an iodine value ranging from about 20 to about 70 cg/g.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the recovery of micas by flotation starting with slurried ore from which the fines have been optionally removed, comprising a stage of bringing the said slurry into contact with an appropriate cationic collector, followed by an actual flotation stage and recovery of the supernatant formed for subsequent treatment and optional rewashing, characterized in that it is carried out at a pH higher than 6 and in that the stage of bringing the said slurry into contact with the cationic collector is preceded by a stage of bringing the said slurry into contact with an activating agent chosen from soluble metal salts.The invention also relates to the micas obtained by the process.
Abstract:
Additive composition for use in separating particles of a desired material from particles of an undesired material in a froth flotation process using a frother. The composition includes an alkylated polymer of vinylpyrrolidone and a liquid carrier comprising the frother.
Abstract:
Contaminated soils are treated in that an aqueous slurry of the soil is separated into a coarse fraction and a fine fraction, the fine fraction is subjected to flotation, the resulting froth is dewatered and then carried away as a pollutant concentrate, and the underflow from the flotation is dewatered and is then carried away as purified soil. An emulsified oily vegetable oil is used as a collector agent for the selective flotation or an emulsified light mineral oil is used as a collector agent for the selective flotation and a light mineral oil is stirred as a conditioning agent into the fine fraction before it is subjected to the selective flotation.
Abstract:
A method for separating ash and sulfur (including pyritic sulfur) contaminants from coal in a flotation process. The method comprises the steps of grinding the coal to small particlate size, forming a slurry of the ground coal and mixing the slurry with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of peroxy compounds, peroxides and superoxides the preferred compound being oxone which is a mixture of potassium monopersulfate, potassium hydrogen sulfate and potassium sulfate. This slurry is allowed to react to condition the particulate coal and develop increased hydrophobicity for the coal while depressing the sulfur contaminants and ash during froth flotation.
Abstract:
An improved froth flotation process wherein solid coal particles are selectively separated under coal froth flotation conditions as a froth phase from remaining solid feed particles as an aqueous phase in the presence of a frother, the improvement comprising a frother of at least 4-methyl cyclohexane methanol.
