The possibility of application of halite flotation for potash ore pre-benefication has been discussed. The results of the investigations enabled the cost of …
The flotation results indicate that alkyl-morpholines can be used to selectively float halite from carnallite mixtures. In this study different chain lengths of alkyl-morpholine were evaluated and the results indicated that the flotation activity of alkyl-morpholine mixtures is much higher than that of a single alkyl-morpholine compound.
In a froth flotation treatment of sylvinite ore, in which halite constituents are floated by the action of an alkali resinate reagent, the step of reducing the quantity of alkali resinate required for the flotation reaction by substituting approximately three parts cresylic acid for approximately forty parts fatty acid in the reagent composition.
The flotation rate difference between sylvite and halite decreased with an increase in the collector dosage, leading to a high Na + grade in the sylvite concentrate. …
Froth flotation is the most widely used desalination technology for potash ore in mining industry to produce upgraded sylvite concentrate with low NaCl level (Hancer et al., 2001, Wu et al., 2016, Li et al., 2016). Various surfactants are assessed as flotation collectors to float sylvite from halite for potash ores by froth flotation.
"More than 70% of potash is produced worldwide by froth flotation. Flotation of potash was developed in the early 1930s. Amines are widely used for flotation of sylvite (KCl) from halite (NaCl) and insoluble materials such as clays. Amine collector is also absorbed by clays.
The U.S. Bureau of Mines and Great Salt Lake Minerals and Chemical Corp. developed a froth flotation process for concentrating potassium salts from Great Salt Lake solar evaporites containing about 5 percent K. The crude …
The carnallite mineral for flotation separation tests was obtained from Qarhan Salt Lake (Qinghai Province, China). The ingredient of carnallite ores by mineralogy analysis were largely 78.27% carnallite (KCl·MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O), 19.94% halite (NaCl), 1.02% gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) and 0.77% sylvite (KCl). The bench-scale flotation separation tests were performed …
Potash froth flotation is the most commonly employed process for separating potash values from pulps containing potash. Potash ores mined in the United States and Canada generally contain from about 5 to 50 percent sylvite (KCl) with the balance being primarily halite (NaC1) and the remainder gangue materials.
Carnallite-kainite-halite ore is enriched by reverse flotation in aqueous solutions of magnesium chloride with a density of 1285–1295 kg/m 3 and pH 3–4 using the halite collector of the ...
solubilities sylvite and halite are of those salts were determined using gravimetric method. noted that all components are 2.2 Flotation Processing of a potash ore was conducted by means of froth flotation. Cationic flotation of that run-of-mine (ROM) ore was performed in the saturated brine. In short, the
To reduce production costs, a method of flotation of enriched carnallite emitting froth anhydrite, water-insoluble clay slimes and halite with obtaining enriched carnallite in the form of chamber product of the flotation process (patent N 2079378 from 16.06.94 - prototype).
Flotation of trace heavy metal species in sea water Some trace elements, for example, vanadium, selenium and indium and so on, are believed to play a role in the marine biosphere. However, the significance and involvement of these trace heavy elements is not clear yet. Starting from 1970's, froth flotation began to
The froth flotation is used to separate the valuable minerals from non-valuable minerals [2], which can be considered as a recovery process with time rate [3]. However, currently, there are a few ways to improve the separation of sylvite and halite [4, 5]. Flotation of KCl crystals from other salt
