摘要:
A method of forming a mixture of two or more elements for discharge from a vessel. The change in the volume of the mixture in the vessel, as well as the flow of at least one of the elements and the mixture are measured so that the flow of an unmeasured element into the vessel can be calculated.
摘要:
The washing step that usually follows the deoiling of phosphate rougher concentrate is eliminated by adding lime to said rougher concentrate following the deoiling.

In one example, a method includes providing a pulp composed of a combination of particulate materials including particles of a target material. The pulp is mixed with a collector composed of anisotropic particles having at least two separate spatial domains that have different physiochemical properties, and the mixture of pulp and collector is fed into an aqueous solution containing air bubbles.
摘要:
Separation of impurities from kaolin clay is accomplished by conditioning a dispersed aqueous pulp of the clay with an anionic flotation collector, followed by centrifugation or hydrocloning to cause the impurities to settle from a dispersed pulp of the clay without an intermediate froth flotation step or a flotation waste froth is centrifuged or hydrocloned to recover valuable kaolin contained in the froth.
摘要:
The invention refers to a process to separate silicates and alkaline earth metal carbonates implementing at least one hydrophobically modified polyalkyleneimine, wherein: i) the polyalkyleneimine is hydrophobically modified by replacement of all or part of the hydrogens of their primary and/or secondary amino groups by functional group R, where R comprises a linear or branched or cyclic alkyl and/or aryl group and contains 1 to 32 carbon atoms; ii) prior to modification, the polyalkyleneimine has at least 3 alkyleneimine repeat units and a molecular weight of between 140 and 100 000 g/mol; iii) modification of the polyalkyleneimine results in an increase in the atomic C amount, relative to the unmodified polyalkyleneimine, of between 1 and 80%.

The invention additionally refers to a silicate-containing product and an alkaline earth metal carbonate-containing product obtained by the process of the invention, and to their uses.
摘要:
A system and method of forming a mixture from two elements according to which the elements are introduced into a vessel and mixed in the vessel before being discharged from the vessel. The flow rate of one of the elements is controlled to maintain a constant level of the mixture in the vessel and the flow rate of the other element is controlled to maintain a predetermined ratio of the flow rate of the latter element and the discharge flow rate.
摘要:
This invention relates to an integrated process for recovering value metals from sulphide ore which includes the steps of bulk sorting 16 and screening 24/28 crushed ore. The sorted/screened coarse ore stream is ground and classified 20 to provide a coarse fraction 34 suitable for coarse flotation and a first fine fraction 38 suitable for flotation. The coarse fraction suitable for coarse flotation is subjected to coarse flotation 36 thereby to obtain a gangue 42 and an intermediate concentrate 46. The intermediate concentrate is subjected to grinding 48 to provide a second fine fraction suitable for conventional flotation. The first fine fraction and the second fine fraction are subjected to conventional flotation 40 to provide a concentrate and tailings. This process that capitalizes on the natural heterogeneity of sulphide orebodies, and utilizes bulk sorting, screening and coarse flotation beneficiation technologies in a novel multistage configuration to reject the maximum quantity of waste gangue prior to fine comminution.
摘要:
An engineered collection medium for use in mineral separation is described. The engineered collection medium has a solid phase body configured with a three-dimensional open-cell structure like foam or sponge to provide collection surfaces. The surfaces are functionalized with a hydrophobic chemical having molecules with a functional group for attaching mineral particles to the collection surfaces. The engineered collection medium can be a foam block, a filter or conveyor belt to be placed in a slurry to collect mineral particles in the slurry. The engineered collection medium carrying the mineral particles is provided to a release apparatus where the mineral particles can be released by using mechanical agitation, sonic agitation and so forth.
摘要:
A process for producing a mineral concentrate product that at is at least a substantially odor-free product comprises any one or more than one of (a) organics removal by (i) treatment of a froth product slurry containing floated mineral particles to remove organic compounds from the mineral particles and/or (ii) thermal treatment, and (b) addition of chemicals to prevent residual organic compounds on mineral concentrates being converted to odorous compounds, particularly while the concentrates are being stock-piled or transported.
