Removal of Silica and Alumina as Impurities from Low-Grade Iron …
3.2. Reverse Flotation 3.2.1. Effect of Slurry pH Figure 5 shows the effect of pH on the flotation of silica and alumina using DAA as cationic collector. Silica trend shows its lowest content of 31 mass% in concentrate at pH 8 and it was not removed with further increase in pH. Iron grade trend shows a slight increase from pH 6.8 to 8.
