The separation of feldspar and quartz is a crucial process in mineral beneficiation, as these two minerals are commonly found together in various geological formations. However, their similar…
1. Introduction. Froth flotation is the selected method for the separation of quartz and feldspar. In the conventional process, feldspar is floated from quartz by using hydrofluoric acid (HF) as activator for the feldspar and a cationic collector (amine) at pH 2–3 (O'Meara, 1939). (1979) reported that HF creates a large difference in the …
The primary gangue minerals in spodumene include feldspar and quartz (Rai et al., 2011, Tian et al., 2018, Xu et al., 2016) and flotation is the most commonly employed method for their separation, which is a significant process (Karrech et al., 2020, Tadesse et al., 2019). However, spodumene, feldspar, and quartz are silicate minerals, which ...
Magnetic mineral inclusions in silicates are widespread in sediments as well as in igneous rocks. Because they are isolated from surrounding environment, they have potential to preserve original magnetic signature even in chemically altered sediments. Such inclusions may provide proxies to help differentiating the source of the …
Flotation is one of the most effective ways used in the industrial separation of spodumene from feldspar and quartz [4], [8], [9]. However, since the similar surface properties of these three minerals, especially spodumene and feldspar, it is a challenge to separate spodumene effectively from feldspar and quartz [10], [11].
advanced feldspar separation techniques. Keywords: quartz, feldspar, flotation, collector, depressor 1. Introduction Quartz and feldspar are widespread minerals in the world, wherein feldspar make up as much as 60% of the earth's crust (Ding et al., 2023, Shen et al., 2023). Feldspar is widely used in glass, ceramics, enamel
The best results were achieved when Na-feldspar was depressed with NaCl. The most systematic study on the differential separation of feldspar minerals was reported by Demir et al. (2001) ...
In this study, feldspar ore was successfully enriched using a two-stage process. Initially, dry magnetic separation was employed to remove iron oxide, followed by cationic flotation to eliminate gangue minerals containing free silica. A feed sample with a size fraction of (− 0.25 + 0.053) mm, pre-treated by attrition scrubbing and dry high …
The flotation process and magnetic separation are the most common methods for feldspar beneficiation containing approximately 0.4% Fe 2 O 3 and 0.04% …
Objective of the separation of quartz and feldspar minerals is that we are using coarse grains quartz for optical stimulated luminescence (OSL), so it necessitates being very precise. Actually, we ...
The fracture temperature of these chemical bonds is an important physical property of feldspar minerals, which determines the stability of feldspar minerals under high temperatures. As feldspar is ...
In the present study, effects of several operating parameters on the separation efficiency of mica from feldspar by spiral concentrator were investigated. For this purpose, an albite ore containing...
The underflow from this classification is fed into flotation circuit. According to Redeker (1981) the separation of spodumene from feldspar and quartz gangue minerals at Kings Mountain processing plant involves a de-sliming step that rejects −15 µm particles to waste during which 7.4 wt% feed assaying 1.43% Li 2 O is discarded. 3.4.4.
In this study, the separation of feldspar minerals (albite) from slimes containing feldspar and iron containing minerals (Fe-Min) was studied using dissolved air flotation (DAF) technique whereby ...
Economic resources of feldspar greatly increased in 1940 with the development of successful froth flotation methods for the separation of feldspar. Prior to this, the industry was dependent on more costly hand-cobbing procedures, generally with a handheld hammer, involving the separation of feldspar from worthless or otherwise undesirable …

Weathered granite contains a high concentration of feldspar, quartz, and kaolin. However, while it becomes rich in clay due to strong physical weathering, the granite minerals that are not fully weathered are still very hard, which makes the grinding process more difficult and limits its use.
