Collectors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Various fatty acids and their soaps easily capture cassiterite. Therefore, collectors can use oleic acid, tar oil, oxidized white wax soap, nylon 1010 bottom, alkyl sulfate, alkyl sulfonate, sulfosuccinate, etc. Experimental studies have shown that cassiterite flotation with formazan, benzylic acid, and ethylene sometimes yields better results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. pH Optimization<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00c1cido oleico: el valor del pH suele estar en torno a 9,0~9,5.<\/li>\n<li>A: The pH value of the rough selection is generally 5~6, and it can reduce the pH value of the selected one to 2.5~4.0.<\/li>\n<li>When adjusting the pH of pulp, chemicals such as sodium carbonate and sulfuric acid are often used.<\/li>\n<li>During cassiterite flotation, to suppress the associated silicate ore, calcium magnesium ore, and wolframite, water glass, sodium hexametaphosphate, carboxymethyl cellulose, and oxalic acid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. Feed Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pre-remove ultrafines (&lt;0.01 mm) to reduce reagent consumption.<\/strong> The flotation material is generally gravity tailings less than 0.04mm, and the sludge less than 0.01mm is removed first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Desulfurize sulfide-rich ores&nbsp;<em>antes de<\/em> tin flotation to avoid concentrate contamination.<\/strong> If the flotation ore is vein tin ore, it is often accompanied by sulfide deposits of iron, arsenic, antimony, lead, copper, zinc, and other metals. At this moment, it should first use the sulfide deposit activator to separate the sulfide deposit. Then, flotation of cassiterite to avoid sulfide contamination of the cassiterite concentrate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jxscmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/flotation-machine1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15643 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jxscmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/flotation-machine1.jpg\" alt=\"m\u00e1quina de flotaci\u00f3n\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jxscmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/flotation-machine1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jxscmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/flotation-machine1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jxscmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/flotation-machine1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>Planta de flotaci\u00f3n de casiterita<\/h2>\n<p>The raw ore of tin ore is a high and medium-temperature hydrothermal cassiterite sulfide deposit. The composition of mineral deposits is messy. Metal deposits include pyrrhotite, magnetite, arsenopyrite, bismuthite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, etc. Non-metal deposits include carbonate, silicic acid, etc., salts, and halides. Cassiterite is yellowish-brown and black and is embedded in fine particles. Most of it is embedded in pyrrhotite in powder form, and a small part is scattered in magnetite and skarn deposits in granular form. The largest grain is 0.55mm, and the smallest is 0.002mm, generally between 0.15~0.02mm.<\/p>\n<p>The feed of cassiterite flotation is the tailings after desulfurization, iron removal, and shaking table processing.
