A review of mineral processing of ilmenite by flotation
At present, industrial flotation process for ilmenite concentrate production is controlled within acidic pH region from about 6 to 2.5 in the roughing and cleaning stages, and this requires the collector to have a good capture ability even under strongly acidic conditions (Zhai et al., 2017). In Chinese deposits, titanaugite is the main gangue ...

Beginners guide to concentrate filtration
Flotation concentrates generally have a hydrophilic surface and a large wetting angle that increases the threshold pressure. Putting these relationships into context for vacuum filters to be effective with differential pressure of 0.8 bar, vacuum filter possibilities should extend to a mean particle size in the range of 25 to 30 μm.

Froth Flotation Handbook
Skin-flotation produces a high-grade concentrate at the expense of a low recovery. On lead-zinc ores, differential flotation of a part of the lead in the form of a high-grade lead concentrate may be accomplished. This fact is, in some cases, held to justify the use of such methods preceding froth flotation. Otherwise the use of skin-flotation ...

Selective impurity removal and Cu upgrading of copper flotation
The gradual decrease of global copper resources is among the most urgent challenges for the mining industry. Sustainable utilization of copper sulphide flotation concentrate from iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits is often constrained by the impurity elements (e.g. U, Th and F) and high levels of gangue minerals (e.g. iron oxide/hematite, U-bearing minerals and fluorite).

The Importance of %Mass Pull in a Flotation Circuit | What is Flotation
This number needs to be as small as possible to consider the flotation to be selective. Applying the Lab to the Plant: Obviously if of the feed is sent to conc, a recovery is achieved (without concentration). The idea of selective flotation is to "concentrate" and put as much metal in as little a concentrate mass as possible.
