Phosphate Beneficiation
In the direct flotation process the valuable mineral is coated with a special hydrocarbon (fatty acid) that makes coated particles behave the same as a waxed car. Once the phosphate surfaces are coated, they repel water just like a …

Advancing phosphate ore minerals separation with sustainable flotation
Phosphate with a high P 2 O 5 content is typically enriched and given marketable qualities using the flotation process, which involves different groups of reagents such as collectors, depressants, and pH regulators. However, due to the possible toxicity of these reagents, there is a need to identify natural, non-toxic, environmentally friendly ...

A 25 cu ft flotation cell was operated continuously to produce an apatite-rich concentrate. The experimental results reported in this paper attempt to elucidate the role of the particle size distribution upon the performance of the cell. The particle size distribution influences performance through its effect on the particle residence time distribution and on the rate of impaction, …

The 'Crago Process' and Its Applicability to a South African
The Crago process for the flotation of sedimentary phosphate was patented in 1942. This direct-reverse flotation process consists of a fatty acid rougher stage followed by deoiling and an amine cleaner flotation stage which is the standard for phosphate flotation in Florida and North Carolina [ 3 ].

Hydrodynamic study of a phosphate flotation cell by CFD …
In the flotation process the phosphate volume fraction is relatively high. It is included between 14% and 20%, for this reason, the multi-fluid approach was adopted to study the fluid–solid flow. Thus, the phosphate particles and the fluid are treated as an interpenetrating continua [59] and Navier–Stokes equations are solved for each phase.

Low-grade phosphate tailings (i.e. phosphate sludge (PS)) are one of the by-products generated by the phosphate mine activity. They are collected during the beneficiation process of phosphate (washing and flotation) (Loutou et al., 2013).This process produces large amounts of PS, which are often deposited in the tailings on the mine surface, leading to the …

A Critical Review on the Flotation Reagents for Phosphate …
Phosphate ore is the dominating natural resource for the production of fertilizers and phosphorous chemical products. Flotation is the most widely employed technique to enrich apatite and remove the impurities for the separation of the phosphate ore. The flotation reagents play an important role in this efficient separation of phosphate ores. In the last few decades, …
