A. Uribe et al., CONCENTRATION OF CELESTITE BY MEANS OF FL OTATION - OLEIC-ACID QUEBRACHO AND PETROLEUM SULFONATE SODIUM-SILICATE SYSTEMS, Afinidad, 54(471), 1997, pp. 362-366
In the present work it was investigated the concentration of a celesti
te mineral from the Lagunera Region (Coahuila, Mexico), by means of co
lumn flotation. The oleic acid/quebracho and petroleum sulphonate/sodi
um silicate systems were studied at different pH values of flotation a
nd treatment. The metallurgical results obtained let identify the cond
itions that better define the separation curve.
