Effects of surfactants combination on iron ore flotation
The bench flotation tests were conducted in a Wemco machine equipped with a 3.9 L cell, using 1.5 kg iron ore aliquots in 50 % solids (w/w) pulps. The pulp was conditioned at 1250 rpm, initially with starch for 5 min and then with the collector and frother solutions for 1 extra minute, when it was diluted to 42 % solids for flotation.
