Sorghum starch as depressant in mineral flotation: part 2 – flotation tests

Hematite and quartz samples from the Brazilian Iron Quadrangle were used in the flotation tests. The mineral samples were characterized by XRF, and SEM/EDS. Zeta potential measurements were performed in the pH range from 3.5 to 12.5. A commercial cornstarch was used as the depressant benchmark. Four depressants dosages and pH values were tested.

The flotation tests for single and artificially mixed minerals show that SHMP is an efficient depressant in the separation of rutile ores from almandine as a possible gangue mineral. Zeta potential measurements and XPS analysis indicate that more SHMP was adsorbed on almandine surface as opposed to that of rutile.
