Vale is the largest iron ore producer in the world. Since the 1970s, Vale has been using reverse cationic flotation to remove siliceous impurities from its iron ores. Whilst this flotation process has operated effectively for many years, it suffers from the problems of high reagent costs and high metal loss.In 2010, CSIRO investigated the use of a reverse anionic flotation process for Vale ...

Due to declining iron ore grades, low-grade ores with complex mineralogy, namely, banded iron formation (BIF), are being explored to maximize iron ore resources and increase the life of mine. Flotation is the standard global process used for the beneficiation of BIF ores, as it is a complex ore reserve, and liberation is typically achieved below 1 mm. This study focuses on …

The reverse cationic route currently is by far the most widely used iron ore flotation process. This process floats quartz with an ether amine collector at pH 10–10.5 using corn starch to depress the iron oxides. In the early years primary fatty amines, such as dodecylamine, were used but these have now been replaced by the more soluble ether ...
