Froth flotation is the selected method for the separation of quartz and feldspar. In the conventional process, feldspar is floated from quartz by using hydrofluoric acid (HF) as activator for the feldspar and a cationic collector (amine) at pH 2–3 (O'Meara, 1939).
classification. Currently, flotation is the most feasible method to separate feldspar from quartz, while the non-selectivity of electrostatic adsorption of widely used cationic collectors (e.g., amines) on feldspar and quartz makes the flotation process low efficiency (Xu et al., 2023).
A separation process is provided for treating a feed material comprising silica, feldspar, and metal impurities, including at least one of mica, iron impurities, or refractory heavy minerals, to form one or more products for use in making glass. In the process, the feed material is floated in the presence of a depressant to inhibit the flotation of feldspar and thereby form a concentrate ...

Then the ore passes to a three-stage, acid ...
Fig. 8 shows that the R2 obtained by fitting the flotation process of 38–74 μm, 15–38 μm and −15 μm artificial mixed minerals fitted by the first-order kinetic model reaches more than 0.99, indicating that the model provides a precise description of the flotation process for fayalite and magnetite within artificial mixed minerals [46].
The most common beneficiation method for feldspar is flotation with a cationic (amine) collector under acidic conditions. However, there are several disadvantages to this, such as environmental pollution and equipment corrosion. In order to resolve such problems, it is important to study the flotation of feldspar using anionic collectors under natural pH conditions. …

2. Flotation process. The flotation process can effectively remove iron from clay and fine-grained iron-containing minerals, but the effect is not good for hard ores. For severely weathered ores, secondary sludge may be produced during the crushing and grinding stage, which may easily cause the flotation to be highly viscous, resulting in reduced collector …
Therefore, slime removal or desliming in feldspar flotation is a necessary process step. In many researches and plant applications, in order to improve concentrated product quality in feldspar flotation, the necessity of sliming has been also proved. Considering the fact that ore losses in feldspar ore content are removed at a significant ...

The ore is crushed by primary and secondary crushers and ground by jaw crushers, cone crushers, and rod mills until it is reduced to less than 841 µm (20 mesh). Then the ore passes to a three-stage, acid ...
Feldspar minerals (KAlSi 3 O 8, NaAlSi 3 O 8, CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8) are the most abundant of aluminosilicate rock forming minerals, comprising 60% of the earth's crust.They are widely applied in the production of glass, ceramics, and as fillers and extenders [1,2] in the paper and paint industries.In order to improve the purity or the whiteness of feldspar, flotation [3,4,5] …
It shows that using the combined collector DDA + SLDED system, the floatability of lepidolite and feldspar is quite different, and the flotation separation process between lepidolite and feldspar can be accomplished by controlling the concentration of the collector.
The present researches on the flotation of quartz and feldspar are based on single mineral and artificial mixed minerals flotation tests. The separation processes can be categorized into three types, as shown in Table 1 (Karaguzel et al., 2006, Larsen and Kleiv, 2016, O'meara, et al., 1939, Sekulić et al., 2004, Xie et al., 2021a).Although the fluorine-containing and acid …
Flotation as a concentration process has been extensively used for a number of years. However, little is known of it as an exact science, although, various investigators have been and are doing much to place it on a more scientific basis. ...
