While this study provides insight into the performance of the Reflux™ Flotation Cell for coal particles ranging from 0 to 2 mm, its effectiveness with coarse mineral particles is yet to be reported. Further research is required to determine the applicability of the Reflux™ Flotation Cell for the flotation of coarse minerals.
Beneficiation methods of lithium minerals from hard rock ores were reviewed. • Spodumene is currently the main source of lithium from ores. • Flotation, DMS and magnetic separation are the main beneficiation methods.
The zeta potential measurements were carried out using monazite and goethite single minerals which are the major valuable and gangue minerals in the flotation feed ore, respectively. The mineral samples were first ground using a mortar and pestle, and then screened through a 10 μm sieve to collect the undersize fraction.

easily activate zinc sulfide minerals while residual chemicals can decrease the flotation recoveries (Sandenbergh and Yei, 2007). In Yenial and Bulut (2014), the ion concentration of the recycled water was found to be indicative for enhancing flotation recovery, because very high amounts of ions could decrease recoveries.

the top of the separation cell, where they concentrate in a froth which overflows into a launder. The hydrophilic minerals or tailings are recovered from near the bottom of the flotation cell. Mineral flotation processes operate IIIOst efficiently when the particle size is between 10 and 150pm.
Minerals. Agitated flotation cells are widely used in the mineral processing industry for separating, recovering, and concentrating valuable particulate material from undesired gangue. Their performance is lowered, however, when part of the particulate system consists of fines, with particle diameters typically in the range from 30 to 100 μm.
