The investigation into the surface zeta potential indicates that microwave irradiation enhanced the adsorption of oleate ions in the Helmholtz layer of the ilmenite particles and resulted in ilmenite surface charge being more ...
The concentration in workable ores is usually between 0.1 and 1.0 percent tungsten xide (WO 3). Only scheelite (CaWO 4, 80.5% WO 3) and wolframite ((Fe, Mn)WO 4, 76.3–76.6% WO 3) groups are abundant and rich enough to be exploited in mineral engineering, which respectively account for 70% and 30% of the resources …
Gold ores are considered refractory if gold extractions from a conventional cyanidation process are less than 80% even after fine grinding. 1) Arsenic-bearing refractory gold ore has stones extremely difficult to deal with. In the stones, gold is locked up in arsenic mineral matrix as the form of microscopic or submicroscopic lattice.
With the depletion of wolframite, scheelite has become the main source of tungsten resources worldwide. Scheelite is mainly recovered by flotation, a mineral …
