Investigating depressant behaviour in the flotation of selected Merensky ores

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This study utilised laboratory batch flotation tests to characterise the flotation performance, with respect to sulfide and gangue minerals, of two Merensky ores with different mineralogy, in the presence of depressants; and contributes to the increased understanding of depressant behaviour in the flotation of Merensky ores. The ores were obtained from the southern section of the Merensky reef in the Bushveld Igneous Complex.
