Investigation of the effect of different frother blends on the flotation of selected PGM bearing ores

Investigation of the effect of different frother blends on the flotation of selected PGM bearing ores

Concentrators processing platinum group mineral (PGM) bearing ores use polysaccharide depressants to reduce the recovery of the naturally floatable gangue minerals (mainly silicates) present in the ores. Recent work has shown that high depressant dosage can completely depress the naturally floatable...
