The objective of this study was to reduce the contents of iron and titanium heavy minerals of feldspar from Medina syenite ore by a combination of magnetic separation and flotation to obtain the commercial scale of feldspar concentrate for glass and ceramics industries. For the first time, a process flowchart was provided in the light of this study to produce a high-quality K-feldspar product from syenite ore, which meets the requirements of feldspar for glass and ceramics productions. The results reflect that the best performance separation of iron and titanium contents was produced by a dry magnetic separator at 16.000 gauss. The produced feldspar concentrate by magnetic separation yielding 0.54% Fe₂O₃ with 87% Fe₂O₃ recovery and 0.57% TiO₂ with 16% recovery. The flotation tests were performed on the non-magnetic fraction of the syenite ore. In this stage, the most effective for removal of Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ from syenite ore was obtained at a 300 g/ton dosage of a mixture of Aeromine 3030C and Aeromine 801 + Aeromine 825 as a collector in an acidic medium (pH 3). The final feldspar concentrate with 0.07% Fe₂O₃ and 0.06%TiO₂ grades was obtained with 89% Fe₂O₃ recovery and 86% TiO₂ recovery. The commercial scale of feldspar concentrate from syenite ore can meet the desired specification of grades 1 and 2 for glass, porcelain, and ceramics industries.
