Reverse flotation was proposed as a potential method for the upgradation of low rank thermal coal. Higher combustible matter recovery in the float could be obtained using reverse flotation method compared to conventional flotation method. In order to reduce the entrainment of fine particles, oleic acid (OA) was used as froth regulator in coal reverse flotation process. Experimental data showed that the total volume of froth product in the absence of OA was almost 3 times more than that in the presence of 0.45 kg/Mg OA dosage. Reverse flotation results showed that the ash content of froth product increased with the increase of OA dosage which indicated that the entrained coal particles could be decreased by the addition of froth regulator OA.

Grinding plays an important role in the beneficiation process. Different grinding media can determine the size distribution, shape, and even the surface properties of the produced material. However, comprehensive research related to the effect of grinding media on the flotation performance of cassiterite is lacking. In the current study, the effects on the flotability of the products obtained by grinding with ceramic and stainless steel media were investigated using micro-flotation, laser particle size distribution analysis, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), chemical element analysis, zeta potential measurements, field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The micro-flotation results demonstrate that the flotability of stainless steel ground cassiterite surpasses that of ceramic. The laser particle size distribution test reveals that the two grinding media do not have a strong impact on the particle size distribution. The ICP-OES and chemical element analysis results identify the higher iron content in the samples and pulp of stainless steel ground cassiterite as the principle influencing factor. The zeta potential analysis indicates that the dissolved iron ions absorbed on the cassiterite surface results in a positive shift of the mineral surface potential. This not only reduces electrostatic repulsion but also increases the active sites of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHA) chemisorption. FESEM-EDS results demonstrate the rougher surface and higher iron content of the stainless steel ground cassiterite compared to the ceramic ground cassiterite, thereby increasing the SHA adsorption. The stainless steel grinding cassiterite was observed to alter the chemical environment of Fe species on the cassiterite surface via XPS analysis, with Fe 2+ exhibiting a stronger reactivity and stability towards SHA compared to Fe 3+ . Thus, the stainless steel media ground cassiterite demonstrates an improved flotability performance compared to the ceramic equivalent.

A novel collector of 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl) dec-2-en-1-one oxime (HPDO) was synthesized from 2-hydroxy acetophenone and octanal, and its flotation and adsorption behavior for malachite were studied by flotation tests and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The flotation results of a single mineral show HPDO is a special collector for malachite. Compared with benzohydroxamic acid (BHA), isobutyl xanthate (SIBX), and dodecylamine (DA), HPDO exhibits excellent flotation performance for malachite and satisfied selectivity against quartz and calcite over a wide pH range. The HPDO with a concentration of 200 mg/L can float 94% malachite at pH 8, while only recovering 7.8% quartz and 28% calcite. XPS data give clear evidence for the formation of a Cu-oxime complex on malachite surfaces after HPDO adsorption.

A small molecular triazole derivative called AMT (3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole) was explored as a novel and efficient chalcopyrite depressant in the preferential flotation of chalcopyrite from molybdenite. The flotation performances were comprehensively investigated via micro-flotation tests of singe and mixed minerals with and without Cu collector. The adsorption mechanisms were determined in terms of contact angle, adsorption capacity, and zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and DFT calculations. Single mineral flotation results illustrated that the AMT selectively depressed chalcopyrite over a wide range of pH values. Particularly, AMT was able to depress chalcopyrite even in the presence of sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX). The contact angle, adsorption capacity, zeta potential, and FTIR results suggested that AMT was preferentially adsorbed on chalcopyrite surface, but it barely interacted with molybdenite. XPS tests and DFT calculations demonstrated that AMT was chemically adsorbed on chalcopyrite surface through the hybridization of S (1) and N (1) 2p orbitals of AMT with the Cu (1) 3d orbital. The bonding between S (1) atom and Cu (1) was much stronger than that between N (1) and Cu (1). Thus, AMT exhibited good potential as a novel depressant due to its excellent selectivity and practicability.

A novel collector, 2-carboxyethylphenylphosphinic acid (CEPPA), was first used in the flotation of cassiterite. The flotation performances and the adsorption mechanism of CEPPA on cassiterite were investigated by flotation tests, adsorption experiments, zeta potential measurements, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The results indicated that CEPPA had strong collecting power for cassiterite and fluorite over a wide pH range but little on quartz. In the separation of the cassiterite–quartz mixture, a concentrate containing 90.9% SnO2 was obtained with a recovery of 95.7% at pH 7.0. The cassiterite in the cassiterite–fluorite mixture could be effectively separated using 300 mg/L sodium silicate in conjunction with 60 mg/L CEPPA, and a concentrate with a grade of 90.3% SnO2 and a recovery of 92.6% was achieved at neutral pH. Zeta potential analysis demonstrated that the adsorption process involved both physical and specific forces. The results of FTIR and XPS further suggested that the four O atoms of CEPPA reacted with the Sn atoms on cassiterite surface, forming a complex which was similar to the Sn–CEPPA precipitate, and hydrogen bonding adsorption could have taken place between the terminal hydroxyl groups and CEPPA anions.

The effects of lead ions on the flotation performance of the cassiterite system have been investigated using microflotation tests. Adsorption experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle measurement, and zeta (ζ)-potential measurements were conducted. Octanohydroxamic acid and lead ion solution speciation simulations were used. These were used to correlate surface properties of lead-activated with cassiterite flotation performance. Flotation results indicate that the addition of lead ions activates the cassiterite flotation. The addition of lead ions enhanced the adsorption of octanohydroxamic acid on cassiterite, and the wetting characteristic of cassiterite decreased in the presence of octanohydroxamic acid and the addition of lead ions. ζ-Potential measurements and solution chemistry analyses confirmed that flotation recovery of the cassiterite increases due to Pb(OH)+ and Pb3(OH)42+ sites on the cassiterite surface. XPS results indicated the adsorption of octanohydroxamic acid onto the cassiterite surface was through chemisorption, which combined with lead ions changed the chemical properties of the cassiterite surface.

This study systematically investigated the impact of Hydrochloric acid (HCl) corrosion pretreatment on hematite flotation within the NaOL system, analyzing the influence of varying HCl concentrations (measured as pH) on hematite acid corrosion. The results showed that at pH = 1, after 4 min of acid corrosion, hematite exhibited optimal floatability, achieving a recovery rate of 82.49 %, significantly surpassing the original ore. Conversely, at pH = 5, after the same duration of acid corrosion, hematite’s flotation is inhibited, yielding a recovery rate of 59.38 %, lower than the original ore. Through contact angle, adsorption amount measurements, and AFM detection, it is observed that after corrosion in pH = 1 HCl solution, hematite surface roughness increases, more NaOL collector is adsorbed, leading to significant hydrophobicity enhancement. After corrosion in pH 5 weak acid environment, despite increased surface roughness, hematite surface was coated with particulate matter, greatly reducing NaOL adsorption and further decreasing hydrophobicity. Further analysis using FTIR, XPS, and hydrolysis component calculation indicated that after acid corrosion in HCl at pH = 1, hematite exposed more active Fe sites, enhancing flotation performance. Conversely, at pH = 5, surface-dissolved Fe 3+ transformed into hydrophilic Fe(OH) 3 , inhibiting flotation by covering the hematite surface.

This study investigates the flotation performance of coal gasification fine slag in the presence of metal ions with different valences. The impact of metal ions on the surface topography, wettability, zeta potential, functional group, and particle size distribution of coal gasification fine slag were analyzed. The results demonstrated that K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Al3+ all have a positive effect on flotation, with Al3+ being particularly effective. At a concentration of 0.2 mol/L, Al3+ increased the recovery of combustible matter in coal gasification fine slag from 66.70% to 91.05% compared to deionized water. Metal ions reduce the absolute value of the gasification fine slag potential, compress its double layer while increasing its surface hydrophobicity. Higher ion concentration leads to a closer-to-zero potential and increased hydrophobicity. Additionally, Al3+ promote diesel adsorption onto coal gasification fine slag. This work explains the effects of metal ions on coal gasification fine slag flotation.

High-ash fine slime has an adverse effect on coal flotation. In this study, the roles of sodium silicate (SS) and sodium carbonate (SC) in the facilitating effect on lean coal flotation (a type of coking coal) were studied when sodium oleate (NaOL) was used as a collector through flotation tests, Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) observations, turbidity measurements, and particle interaction energy calculations. The flotation tests found that SS has a stronger capacity than SC for the improvement of flotation performance of lean coal. Moreover, SEM-EDS observations and turbidity measurements showed that SS presents a stronger weakening effect for the coating of high-ash fine slime on the surface of low-ash coal particles than SC. Furthermore, the particle interaction energy calculations verified that the increase in the energy barrier for the attachment between low-ash coal particle and high-ash fine slime caused by SS is larger than SC, providing theoretical supports for the experiments. Compared to kerosene as a collector, based on the similar ash content, the yield of clean coal increases greatly with the synergistic effect of SS and NaOL. In summary, SS is an appropriate dispersant for lean coal flotation in sodium oleate system.

This research focused on the effect of particle size and flotation time on magnesite flotation, and the flotation performance of various size fractions were predicted by a machine learning (ML) method. Four kinetic models were used to fit the recovery of MgO and SiO 2 in various size fractions of magnesite flotation. The results demonstrated that the flotation of magnesite exhibits good agreement with the classical first-order kinetic model. Besides, the effect of various particle sizes on MgO recovery and selectivity index was predicted by ML method. It was shown that the proposed ML model could accurately reproduce the effects of particle size and flotation time on magnesite flotation performance. Furthermore, the developed model revealed that the optimal mean size range for magnesite flotation is 30 to 48 μm. Therefore, this paper is of great significance to the application of ML methods in the prediction of various magnesite size flotation performance.

Particle aggregates induced by nanobubble (NB) bridging has been recognized as one of the main contributors to improve the flotation performance of minerals in NBs-associated flotation. Despite the numerous investigations in particle-NB interaction, scarce research on revealing the properties of aggregates induced by NBs has been conducted, severally limiting the further understanding of the NB-assisted mineral flotation. In this study, NBs were first produced based on the principle of hydrodynamic cavitation. The aggregates of ultra-fine coal particles with different hydrophobicity induced by these tiny bubbles was investigated, with the size distribution, structure, and strength features of the aggregates systematically explained accordingly. In this study, NBs remained stable in the aqueous solution for more than one hour, and the size of these bubbles expanded from 240 to 650 nm within this period. The aggregates of coal particles was significantly enhanced, especially for the more hydrophobic ones, which could be well reflected by the right-shifted particle-size distribution curve, the newly formed chain-structure aggregates, and larger apparent viscosity and shear yield stress of the coal pulp. Moreover, the flotation performance (both flotation recovery and flotation kinetics) of ultra-fine coal particles was remarkedly improved in the presence of NBs, confirming that NBs did benefit the ultra-fine coal aggregates.

Bubble size is crucial for determining flotation efficiency. Fine bubbles can be cost-effectively generated using a multi-orifice sparger with oscillatory air supply. Sparger configuration is defined by the orifice size, the plate thickness and the chamber volume. To date, the effect of sparger configuration on bubble size with oscillatory air supply is not clear yet. To facilitate the control of bubble size formed with oscillatory air supply, the present work investigated the dependence of bubble size on sparger configuration. It was found that bubble size was positively correlated with the chamber volume and the orifice size, while a nonlinear relationship was observed with the plate thickness. Besides, it was found that flotation recovery decreased over increasing bubble size when changing the sparger configuration. The results indicated that sparger configuration exhibited a significant effect on flotation performance via influencing bubble size when oscillatory air supply was applied.
