Odisha state is the major reserve of the chromite ore. Due to the extensive applications, high-grade chromite ore is getting depleted day by day. Now it is a challenge for the industry to utilize these low-grade ores and tailings. Several attempts were taken to upgrade the low-grade chrome ores and tailings using different gravity separation methods, magnetic …

SYNOPSIS. Recovery of a chromite concentrate from UG2 flotation tailings streams, of a grade suitable for further pyrometallurgical treatment for the production of ferrochrome, has certain specific challenges not only by virtue of the decoupled nature of the primary PGM recovery process and secondary gravity based chromite recovery circuits, but also because of intrinsic …

Mine chromite or in general concentration of similar low grade chrom ite deposits. An attempt was also made to increase the efficiency of chromite concentration by eliminating some of the loss of the finer sizes. Before the flotation tests the problem of Iron Determination in Chromite was presented to the writer by Mister M. D. O'Shaugh-nessy.

In conventional operations of iron ore beneficiation by flotation, the flotation feed is deslimed to remove the 10 µm fraction prior to flotation (Filippov et al 2014), thus the unselective flocculation effect of starch does not affect the flotation selectivity. Contrary to what occurred in this study, where the pure mineral samples used for ...

UG2 ore from the Bushveld Complex is mined in South Africa for its Platinum Group Metal (PGM) content. Two of the main gangue minerals found in the ore are talc and chromite. The PGMs are separated from the ore by flotation. In this process unwanted minerals are also recovered. Talc is naturally hydrophobic and its flotation is depressed by
