Therefore, flotation tests in Hallimond tube were carried out with high purity apatite crystals using a mixture of a Brazilian fruit (Macaúba) and seed oil (Jatropha Curcas).
contact usThe flotation process involves bulk flotation of apatite and calcite with anionic collector (fatty acid soap) at pH=10 followed by calcite flotation at pH=5.5 using H 3 PO 4 as an apatite depressant. Calcite is collected in the froth phase and apatite concentrate is the sink product ( Aquino and Furtado, 1985 ).
