ABSTRACT
Magnetic seeding depression (MSD), i.e. adding organic depressant (such as starch) and magnetic seeds and applying a low field intensity pre-magnetization for depressing target mineral in flotation, was investigated in the reverse flotation of hematite ore slimes. Flotation tests found that the iron recovery increased with the addition of magnetic seeds; the depressing ability of starch in flotation was further enhanced by the MSD. The increased adsorption density of starch on target mineral hematite and apparent size enlargement of fine minerals are two reasons for the MSD. Based on FTIR, VSM and AFM measurements it was demonstrated that the starch acted as a bridging adsorption between hematite and magnetic seeds by hydrogen bonding and chemisorption, and resultant coverage of the magnetic seeds and starch on hematite increased the magnetic susceptibility, being beneficial to the agglomeration of hematite fines by reducing the external magnetic intensity needed for agglomeration to take place. The model of the MSD was proposed.
