' '1 Claims. (01. 209-467) I The present invention relates toa froth flotation treatment of ores or ore products containing phosphorus bearing minerals and heavy gravity minerals.
Objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part hereinafter and in part will be obvious herefrom, or may be learned by practice with the invention, the same being realized and attained by means of the processes and steps pointed out in' the appended claims.
An object of this invention is to obtain heavy gravity minerals free of any phosphorus containing minerals by a froth flotation treatment of an ore containing said heavy gravity minerals and phosphorus containing minerals whereby the phosphorus containing minerals go into a froth and the heavy gravity minerals remain in the froth tailing; I
A further object of this invention is to provide a process for froth flotation treatment of ores in which valuable phosphorus bearing minerals may be concentrated in a flotation froth so that they may ultimately be removed in a substantially free state.
' The invention consistsin the hoveifstpg'pm esses, combinations and improvements herein shown and described.
The invention in general is directed toforming a froth whereby the phosphorus bearing minerals go into a flotation frothand valuable heavy gravity minerals remain in the froth tailing. In this way, substantially pure heavy gravity minerals are obtained without the use of costly chemical methods in order to produce readily saleable products. This is accomplished by adding a cationic reagent of the amine type and starch or equivalent starchy material to an'acid pulp of an ore containing phosphorus bearing minerals and heavy gravity minerals. said acid pulp having been placed in a cellflof a conven-' tional flotator. A froth isformed when air .is agitated through the mixture with the phosphorus bearing materials going into the froth and the heavy gravity minerals remaining in the froth tailing. The phosphorus bearing materials are skimmed off at the top by skimmers or the-like.
More specifically, the invention is directed to separating a phosphorus bearing material such as monazite from heavy gravity minerals such as Wolframite, rutile and cassiterite. This is accomplished in the manner described above. that plete and difficult boiled starch or starchy product to the amine is, a cationic agent of the amine type and starch or equivalent starchy material are added to an acid pulp of an ore containing monozite and a heavy gravity metal suchas wolframite, rutile and cassiterite,-said acid pulp having been placed in a cell of a conventional flotator. The acid pulp is formed by adding water to an ore con centrate to form a pulp and-then adding'the acid. There is nothing critical as to the amount of water added in forming the pulp. High dilution favors selectivity in the separation of the phosphate minerals from the non-phosphate minerals, whereas high percent of solids in the flotation pulp favors recovery of phosphate minerals and economy of reagents. A. suitable range of dilutions would be from 15% solids to solids. A froth is formed through the mixture with the monazite going into the froth and skimmed off at the top of the cell and the wolframite, rutile or cassiterite remaining in the froth tailing.
The cationic amine acts both as a frothing agent and a flotation agent or collection promoter. An additional fortifying frothing agent such as pine oil is usually added to obtain a more desirable froth than when the cationic amine is the sole frothing agent. When the cationic amine is added without any starch, thephosphate minerals, such as monazite, separate from the heavy minerals in the froth but the separation is incomto control. The addition of a flotation agent in an acid circuit makes the separation of the phosphateminerals,such as monazite, from wolframite, rutile, cassiterite and the like, highlyselective and constitutes a discovery of considerable economic value.
Illustrative examples of the cationic amine flotation agents are higher aliphatic amines, such as lauryl amine, hexadecyl amine, dodecyl amine, short chain amines such as triethanol amine; amine salts which may be used include lauryl amine hydrochloride, hexadecyl amine hydrochloride, and dodecyl amine hydrochloride; quaternary ammonlum salts of the higher aliphatic series may 'be'usedsuch as cetyl trimethyl-ammonium bromide, lauryl triethyl ammonium chloride, octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride;
amine-fatty acid condensation products maybe usedsuch as Armac C (Coco Amine Acetate) and Armac S (Soy-Amine Acetate) made by Armour8z when air is agitated Go. For practical use on a commercial scale. the amine used must be in salt form such as the ac-- etate or hydrochloride salts since the amine itself is too sparingly soluble in water. The amines derived from fatty acids with a high concentration of C- to C-14 fatty acids are most favorable.
In addition to using ordinary starch. other starch products may be used such as causticized starch, dextrim, Amijel (a dried gelatinized starch made by Corn Products Company), and Stayco M (a chlorinated starch) Stayco S (a chlorinated starch of the fluidity type) and Eclipse F (a fluidity type starch), all made by the A. E. Staley Mfg. Company.
In order to illustrate the invention more clearly, the following examples are given.
EXAMPLE I A 500 gram sample tungsten concentrate obtained in the Climax Molybdenum Company mill by gravity concentration followed by additional refining on a cross belt type separator and made up of the following minerals:
1 Xenotime is a complex phosphate of rare earths somewhat similar in composition to monazite.
Miscellaneous includes topaz, quartz, feldspar, and a number of unidentified minerals.
is placed in a Fagergren laboratory flotation cell and 2500 ml. of water are added until a pulp containing a consistency of 17% solids is obtained. To this pulp is added:
10 pounds sulfuric acid per ton of flotation feed (tungsten plup).
4.0 pounds of boiled starch (E. F. Staley CompanyEclipse F) per ton of flotation feed. 2.0 pounds Armac C (Coco Amine Acetate- Armour & 00.) per ton of flotation feed. 1.0 pound of pine oil per ton of flotation feed.
Air is circulated throughout the pulp with the acid and starch being added together at the start of the flotation and the amine acetate being added in five equal amounts during the frothing period at about three minute intervals. The acid, starch and amine'may all be added to the water pulp simultaneously, if so desired. If a sequence operation is followed as illustrated above, the only limitation is that the amine should not be added prior to the starch and acid.
Test results of a feed heading which assayed 0.33% P and 69.0% W03 are indicated by the following tabulation:
4 EXAMPLEII About 500 grams of crude monazite concentrate ore containing:
Percent Monazite 44.0 Xenotime 2.5 Rutile 35.0 Wolframite 12.0 Cassiterite 1.5 Brannerite 1 2.0 Miscellaneous 2 3.0
Total 100.0
8.0 pounds of sulfuric acid per ton of flotation feed.
2.8 pounds Globe pearl starch (boiled) per ton of flotation feed.
2.5 pounds Armac C (Coco Amine Acetate- Armour & Co.) per ton of flotation feed.
1.0 pound of pine oil per ton of flotation feed.
Air is circulated throughout the pulp and a rough froth is produced which is cleaned once by flotation inthe presence of a small additional amount of acid and starch, namely, 4.0 pounds of sulfuric acid and 1.4 pounds of starch per ton of original flotation feed. The period of time for roughing was 10 minutes and 3 minutes for cleaning. The test results are indicated by the following tabulation:
About 600 grams shaking table middling from tin recovery tables containing:
Percent Monazite 10 .5 Cassiterite 12.0 Rutile 10.5 Pyrite 3.0 Topaz 50.0 Quartz 1 1.0 Miscellaneous 3.0
Total 100.0
is placed in a laboratory Fagergren cell. 2500 ml. water are added until a pulp containing a consistency of 20% solids is formed. To this pulp is added:
8.0 pounds sulfuric acid per ton of flotation feed. 40 pounds Amijel (modified starch-Corn Products Refining Company) per ton of flotation feed.
3.0 pounds Armac S (Soy Amine Acetate- Armour 8: Co.) per ton of flotation feed. 1.0 pound pine oil per ton of flotation feed.
Air is circulated throughout the pulp and a froth is obtained. Test results are indicated below after 10 minutes froth removal.
The tests described in the foregoing clearly demonstrate that a novel combination of reagents has been discovered which permit a high degree of selectivity in the flotation separation of monazite and phosphate minerals of a similar characterfrom wolframite, rutile, cassiterite, and other like heavy gravity minerals.
The process is applicable over a fairly wide range of flotation conditions such as dilution, temperature, type of flotation machine and quantity of reagent.
It should be pointed out that other acids are useful besides sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid proved to be the most effective of all the acids operable and is favorable from a cost standpoint. The process is operable in the presence of hydrochloric and nitric acids but with reduced efficiency.
The invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific processes and steps described but departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the accompanying claims without departing from the principles of the invention and without sacrificing its chief advantages.
