Natural graphite ores are usually upgraded by froth flotation. However, complex processes with multistage grinding and flotation are required to achieve decent liberation and separation of graphite and gangue minerals. This study reports a short and improved flotation process for fine flake graphite ore by employing a thickening stage. …
Additionally, the flotation plant residence time will often be determined solely by the grinding circuit capacity and feed slurry density. In the case of SAG mill – ball mill circuits, the fluctuations in tonnage and grind are known to be high. The modelling approach described in this paper allows for changes in the measured flotation
