Study of chlorite flotation and its influencing factors

This paper made deep studies on chlorite flotation using anionic/cationic collector, and the following effect factors such as pH,Ca2+,Na2S,NaF,Na2SiF6 and (NaPO3)6 are investigated. In the process of chlorite flotation using oleic acid as anionic collector, pH value increases. The concentration increase of Na2S and NaF can activate the chlorite flotation. However, Ca2+, Na2SiF6 and (NaPO3)6 can depress the chlorite flotation. In the process of chlorite flotation using lauryl amine as cationic collector, the maximum recovery of chlorite flotation happened in neutral pH condition, and the concentration increase of Ca2+ can activate the chlorite flotation; however, NaF and Na2SiF6 can depress the chlorite flotation.
