Influence of operating parameters on the flotation of the Khibiny Apatite-Nepheline Deposits
Phosphate as fertilizer is so essential for agriculture plants growth. Most of the phosphate resources cannot be directly treated due to the low grade of P2O5 and high content of impurities. Therefore, upgrading of this type of ore is so essential to achieving a grade of concentrate suitable for the...
