Artificial neural network approach to assess selective flocculation on hematite and kaolinite

Because of the current depletion of high grade reserves, beneficiation of low grade ore, tailings produced and tailings stored in tailing ponds is needed to fulfill the market demand. Selective flocculation is one alternative process that could be used for the beneficiation of ultra-fine material. This process has not been extensively used commercially because of its complex dependency on process parameters. In this paper, a selective flocculation process, using synthetic mixtures of hematite and kaolinite in different ratios, was attempted, and the adsorption mechanism was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. A three-layer artificial neural network (ANN) model (4-4-3) was used to predict the separation performance of the process in terms of grade, Fe recovery, and separation efficiency. The model values were in good agreement with experimental values.

聚氧化乙烯絮凝微细粒高岭石强化赤铁矿反浮选脱硅机理研究

通过矿物浮选试验并结合激光粒度测试、扫描电镜(SEM)、矿物Zeta电位及XPS等检测方法对赤铁矿反浮选过程中聚氧化乙烯絮凝细粒高岭石的行为及机理进行了研究.矿物絮凝浮选试验表明：添加聚氧化乙烯可以提高高岭石的单矿物回收率和人工混合矿分离效率,促进赤铁矿和高岭石反浮选分离.激光粒度测试和扫描电镜检测结果表明：聚氧化乙烯不絮凝赤铁矿,但絮凝高岭石颗粒,使其表观粒径增大.Zeta电位测试和XPS分析表明：聚氧化乙烯在高岭石颗粒表面发生化学吸附,并使其Zeta电位正移.因此,开展聚氧化乙烯对硅酸盐矿物絮凝的研究对赤铁矿和高岭石反浮选分离具有意义.

磁铁矿与赤铁矿混合浮选交互影响规律

研究了浮选药剂对单矿物浮选的影响、磁铁矿对赤铁矿浮选的影响。单矿物浮选研究表明,pH〉10时,NaOH的用量的对石英矿的浮选影响大于磁铁矿、赤铁矿的浮选。随着淀粉用量的增加磁铁矿和赤铁矿的回收率逐渐增加,当淀粉用量为10mg／L时,赤铁矿的浮选几乎受到完全的抑制。CaO对磁铁矿、赤铁矿的浮选几乎没有影响,然而对石英的浮选确有很大的影响,石英的回收率随着CaO用量的增加逐渐降低。磁铁矿、赤铁矿以及石英的回收率随着捕收剂用量的增加逐渐降低。人工混合矿浮选研究表明,赤铁矿浮选品位随着磁铁矿含量的增加逐渐增加。
