Reverse anionic flotation of magnetite is conducted at a higher pH value (pH 11–12) than reverse cationic flotation (pH 10–10.5). Since the point of zero charge (PZC) of pure magnetite is around pH 6.5, the surface charge of magnetite in reverse cationic flotation (pH 10–10.5) would be less negatively charged than that at pH 11-12 (Li et ...

Gradual increases in hematite recovery and iron grade were accomplished with increasing magnetite content, whereas the iron content in quartz reject decreased.
Its reverse flotation of magnetite where pyrite is floated. Though the pyrite concentration looks to be lower (with S<0.5% in feed) it may be worth looking at the pyrite floats around the Kalgoorlie area in Western Australia as these systems are generally highly saline (off the top of my head KCGM Fimiston and Kanowna Belle) and do employ ...
