1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and

Direct reduction of iron ore to a low carbon product for use in steel manufacture is already practised. Reduction normally takes place in natural gas or a coal derived reducing gas containing CO, CO2 and H2. Direct reduced iron (DRI) has been developed as a low-cost high-quality alternative to scrap steel. DRI is physically similar to iron ore and

to Mill optimization of two operations: one treating iron ore by magnetic separation and flotation, and the other treating gold ore by gravity concentration and flotation. Four components were tracked in the iron ore case (Fe, FeO, Si and gangue) and two in the gold case (gold and gangue). Integrated simulation allows, for example, evaluation ...
