Abstract
The dispersion degree of the mineral particles in the pulp is especially relevant regarding the performance of the cationic reverse flotation of iron ores. The gangue minerals should remain dispersed while hematite particles should be selectively flocculated. The present study addressed determinations of dispersion degree and zeta potential of hematite in the presence of different dispersants, classified as organic polymeric (natural and synthetic), organic monomeric, and inorganic. Special attention was paid to results achieved at pH 10, used in plant practice. For natural organic polymers, correlation was observed between the dispersion degree and the increase in the negative value of zeta potential. Some synthetic organic polymers enhance the dispersion of hematite particles despite not affecting significantly the zeta potential. Sodium silicates, irrespectively of the SiO2/Na2O ratio, at pH 10, did not impact significantly either the dispersion degree or the zeta potential.
期刊介绍：
REM – International Engineering Journal (antigua REM – Revista Escola de Minas) es la primera revista técnica de Sudamérica. Fue fundada en enero de 1936 por los estudiantes de la Escuela de Minas de Ouro Preto y desde entonces se ha especializado en la publicación de artículos en las áreas de la Ingeniería Civil, Geología, Metalurgia y Materiales y, Minería y Mecánica y Energía.
Su objetivo es servir como un medio de publicación para los trabajos técnicos y científicos originales de investigadores nacionales y extranjeros en esas áreas. Contribuciones originales (artículos y cartas) son aceptadas. Artículos de revisión dependen de la invitación y/o análisis de los Editores.
El envío de artículos para su publicación implica que el trabajo no ha sido publicado previamente, que no está siendo presentado para su publicación en otra revista y no se publicará en otro lugar, en la misma forma, sin el permiso, por escrito, de los Editores/Autores.
