Cellulase as a new phosphate depressant in dolomite-phosphate flotation

Yehia A., Khalek M. A., Ammar M.

Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing

Recently, many research efforts have been made to reduce the magnesium content in the phosphate concentrate to meet the requirement for phosphoric acid production and other applications. A bioprocessing technique is among these efforts. However, this paper was devoted to study the use of cellulase enzyme as a new phosphate depressant during fatty acid flotation of a calcareous phosphate rock. The flotation behavior of collophane and dolomite as single minerals using oleic acid as a collector and cellulase enzyme as the phosphate depressant was investigated in details. The results from single mineral flotation tests were discussed based on FTIR and zeta potential measurements to find out the mechanism of cellulase depression of phosphate. The findings from the single minerals tests were used to develop a selective flotation process for recovery of phosphate minerals from the natural phosphate ore. The flotation experiments were carried out to apply this new process using the calcareous phosphate ore. Under the optimum flotation conditions, 0.04% cellulase and 0.5 mM oleic acid, a phosphate concentrate containing 0.89% MgO with a P2O5 recovery of 75% was obtained from the phosphate ore containing 2.2% MgO.

Role of ore mineralogy in selecting beneficiation route for magnesite-dolomite separation

Characterization and beneficiation of magnesite-dolomite sample were performed. The role of ore mineralogy in selecting the most adequate concentration method for magnesite-dolomite separation was found to be detrimental. The microscopic analysis showed that dolomite is stained with goethite and lepidocrocite (weakly magnetic minerals), while magnesite is stained with hematite and magnetite (highly magnetic mineral). A dry magnetic separation technique was used to separate dolomite from magnesite. The magnetic separation of the sample resulted in a magnesite concentrate product assaying 1.12% CaO with 46.02% recovery and CaO/SiO2 molar ratio = 1.62. This magnesite product is suitable for basic refractory. Besides, middling fraction was produced, containing 44.63% magnesite and 10.95% dolomite. This product is suitable for making low-loss forsterite dielectrics.
