In order to find an economical and feasible short process for betafite preconcentrating and to provide a reference for the development of similar low-grade uranium deposits, preconcentration of the betafite ore was investigated based on mineralogical characterization study, float-sink tests, and dense medium cyclone (DMC) separation experiments. The float-sink test results revealed that the gravity separation of the betafite ore was feasible, and the expected particle size range was chosen to be 3~0.3 mm. The effect of important parameters of the DMC experiment such as particle size, grade of the feed, separation density, and inlet pressure on the separation performance of betafite ore was studied. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the expanded experiments were performed and the heavy minerals contained 4557 ppm U and 5200 ppm Nb2O5 with a recovery of 88.86% and 79.73%, respectively, were obtained. Besides, the enrichment ratio (E) values of U and Nb2O5 were 14.24 and 12.78 severally, and the tailings discarding ratio (R) value was 93.76%. The results demonstrate that the preconcentration of low-grade betafite by DMC can remove a large number of tailings and obtain a high-grade uranium concentrate.

The effects of Pb(II) ions and Al(III) ions on the electro kinetic and flotation behavior of rutile were investigated by micro-flotation tests, zeta potential measurements and solution chemistry analysis. Micro-flotation results indicate that the Pb(II) ions can effectively improve the flotation recovery of rutile while the Al(III) ions significantly inhibit the flotation of rutile. Zeta potential measurements reveal that a collector styrene phosphoric acid (SPA) can adsorb on the rutile surface after the addition of Pb(II) ions, but hardly adsorb on the rutile surface after the addition of Al(III) ions. Pb(II) ions adsorb on the rutile surface in the form of Pb(OH)+ and Pb(OH)2(s), and the latter one is the main reason that activates rutile flotation. Al(III) ions adsorb on the rutile surface mainly in the form of Al(OH)3(s), which prevent the direct interaction between the rutile and the collector, resulting in a decrease of rutile flotation recovery.
