The influence of pulp temperature on the floatability of magnesite and dolomite were studied by flotation test. Inductive Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometer (ICP) was used to measure the dissolved metal ion content in the pulp by minerals in solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to measure the presence and relative content of metal ions on mineral surfaces and the amount of sodium oleate adsorbed on mineral surfaces was measured by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis). The results show that magnesite and dolomite have a great difference in flotation performance when the pulp temperature is 15 ℃ and the effective separation of magnesite from dolomite can be achieved. The main reason is that after the pulp is stirred at a pulp temperature of 15 ℃ and the pH of the pulp is adjusted with HCl and NaOH, the amount of metal ions remaining on the surface of the magnesite is much larger than that on the surface of the dolomite. Therefore, the active targets (metal ion) adsorbing oleate ions on the surface of the magnesite are more than that on the dolomite. When magnesite and dolomite coexist, oleic acid ion mainly acts on the surface of magnesite at the optimum temperature, which makes magnesite float up and the separation of magnesite from dolomite could be achieved.

Heterocoagulation can occur between fine siderite and hematite particles, which would result in the low efficiency of their separation during the flotation process. To date, there have been no mature methods to increase their separation efficiency. In this paper, citric acid was used as a regulator to enhance the slurry dispersion efficiency. Micro-flotation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, settling tests, particle size measurements, zeta potential measurements and E-DLVO theoretical calculations were conducted in the investigations. A maximum recovery difference (53.98%) between siderite and hematite in their mixtures flotation was obtained. Settling tests confirmed that citric acid contributed to improving the dispersion degree of the slurry. SEM analysis indicated that citric acid could clean the surface of particles and weaken the coagulation between siderite and hematite, which were in line with the results of particle size measurements. The zeta potential measurements and Extended-Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (E-DLVO) theoretical calculations indicated that the citric acid could adsorb on the siderite and hematite surfaces and decreased the surface charge, resulting in a visible increase of the repulsion energy between siderite and hematite particles. Therefore, citric acid can be applied to remove the easily-ground carbonate minerals first to improve the flotation performance of hematite in the separation process of carbonate-containing iron ores.
