Abstract

In this study, the effect of collector type, namely Aero 6493 which is a conventional collector and potassium oleate, on the flotation characteristics of a phosphate mineral “francolite” was investigated. Different collector dosages of 800, 1200, and 1400 g/t were examined at the original pH of the ore sample. The results showed that while the highest P2O5 content of 32.3% was obtained with the usage of 1200 g/t K-Oleate, 1400 g/t collector dosage was found as the optimum concentration considering the amount and metal loss in tailings with single-stage flotation. On the other hand, a concentrate with higher P2O5 content such as 32.67% was obtained with Aero 6493. In this manner, in addition to optimizing conditions for the flotation of francolite ((Ca, Mg, Sr, Na) 10 (PO4, SO4, CO3)6 F2-3), the effects of different reagents on its floatability will be discussed.
