With the massive development of easy-to-select zinc sulfide ore resources, the development and utilization of refractory oxide ore resources represented by smithsonite (ZnCO 3) have attracted more and more attention [10,11].Calcite (CaCO 3), dolomite (CaMgCO 3), and quartz (SiO 2) are the main gangue minerals for smithsonite [12,13,14,15].Due to the high …

In general, precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is used as a mineral filler in paper industries; while natural calcite (CaCO3) ore is also suitable for industrial use if it is a finely ground high-grade material. Naturally, calcite is found in the form of high- or low-grade ores and it is one of the most widely distributed industrial minerals on the earth's crust. However, it is …

Scheelite (CaWO 4) and wolframite ((Fe, Mn)WO 4) are the only tungsten minerals mined commercially and are mainly found in five types of deposits: skarn, vein/stockwork, porphyry, disseminated and stratabound.Gravity concentration and flotation are the beneficiation techniques most commonly applied to scheelite ore, and gravity and/or …

This paper has presented a mini review of previously published articles dealing with bio-cement production using enzyme-induced calcite precipitation (EICP) technique.

The aim of this study is to determine the applicability of centrifugal concentrators to beneficiate ultra-fine (UF) bastnaesite and calcite bearing flotation concentrates. By using a UF Falcon, it was possible to achieve initial gravity REO recoveries exceeding 90% while rejecting on the order of 25% to 35% of the total calcium from an...

Gravity concentration is to remove the low-density fraction (e.g. calcite, fluorite etc.) before flotation of scheelite. Scheelite flotation is performed in an alkaline medium, with sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH to about 9–10.5.
