  • the pulp is further conditioned for 1 mi nute under the same stirring.
  • the vessel volume is filled with distilled water until 2 cm below the lip level under a stirring of 1000 rpm.
  • the pH is corrected to 10.2 again prior to the start of flotation with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (5%).
  • Flotation is started by opening aeration.
  • the flotation cell is self-aerating and not fitted with an external air supply. The air flow is not measured.
  • the froth is collected with regular manual scraping in a 2 L tray until complete exhaustion.
  • the collected solids-bearing froth in the tray and the remaining cell frac tion are separately dewatered, dried, weighed and Fe-content and SiC>2-content of both are ana lyzed by XRF measurement on a lithium borate based fused bead.
  • Table B-1 Table B-1 :
  • Fe cone grade means Fe atom content in cell fraction
  • S1O2 cone grade means S1O2 content in cell fraction
  • e) recovery is the ratio between the overall amount of Fe atom contained in the cell fraction and the overall amount of Fe atom contained in the ore employed as starting material
  • Table B-1 shows that a targeted concentrate grade of lower S1O2 content (2.6%) in example B-1 -3 is achieved in comparison to example B-1 -1 with its S1O2 content (2.8%) and > 65% Fe is met in both examples.
  • Example B-1 -2 shows that the comparative etheramine does not work without pregelatinized starch, whereas example B-1 -4 shows without pregelatinized starch even improved results versus example B-1 -3 in regard to S1O2 content (1.8%) and Fe (67.3%).
