摘要
The presence of different apatite types is characteristic of igneous phosphate deposits. The flotation performances of primary and secondary apatites occurring in phoscorites, weathered phoscorites and pyroxenites were investigated. As a contribution towards the understanding of the behaviour of the flotation system, the major gangue minerals were also selected for the study: quartz, a pyroxene (augite), altered micas (vermiculite), calcite and dolomite. Zeta potential curves for all the above mentioned mineral species were determined as a function of pH, pCa and pMg. Microflotation experiments were performed in a modified Hallimond tube at different pH levels in the presence of sodium oleate as collector and corn starch as depressant. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
