Abstract

The authors provide insight into the problem of selective flotation of fluorite from carbonate-fluorite ores. It is found that oxyhydrate collectors used in combination with sodium fluoride provide rather high level of selectivity in fluoride flotation from poor high-carbonate ores and make it possible to eliminate high-temperature pulp treatment with acceptable reduction in the flotation temperature to 15°C and below.
