Ore is then loaded with a hydraulic shovel onto trucks and hauled to the crushing plant, which is adjacent to the flotation plant. Uses: Feldspar is used to make dinnerware and bathroom and building tiles.

The selective separation of gangue minerals requires acid-proof mining equipment, which is described more fully in Flowsheet Study on Feldspar. The Lithium Ore Flowsheet. Fatty acid or soap flotation of spodumene is one well established recovery method, but pulverized or ground particle surface conditions generally necessitate pre …
The general circuit for commercial separation of feldspar consists of three sequential stages of flotation, all of which are carried out in an acid medium. Usually, …
The pure mineral samples of spodumene and feldspar (albite) were obtained from the Jiajika Lithium Mine, Ganzi District of Sichuan province, China. The samples were hand-picked, crushed and ground in a laboratory porcelain mill, and −0.074 mm fractions were used in the experiments.Chemical composition analysis (Table 1) and X-ray …
However, the fatty acid dosages used to float hematite-which has a high concentration of Fe 3+ sites-are significantly lower than those used in spodumene or ilmentite research (10 −5 M vs. 10 ...
