Technological mineralogy of fluorite ore and its flotation performance
Abstract：It is important to study technological mineralogy of fluorite ore for its beneficiation. The mineralogy characteristics of Suichang fluorite ore in Zhejiang were obtained by analyzing the chemical composition, mineral component and embedding feature. The flotation behavior of fluorite ore was also investigated. The results indicate that the structure type of Hengkengping ＂s fluorite ore is similar to that of Kengkou＇s fluorite ore, including fluorite, quartz, calcite and feldspar, et al. The content of calcite in the Hengkengping＇s fluorite ore is 5.4%, which is higher than that in the Kengkou＇s fluorite ore. According to the characteristic of minerals, flo- tation tests were completed to separate fluorite from two types fluorite ore. The experimental results show that it is difficult to separate fluorite from Hengkengping＇s fluorite ore because of similar floatability of fluorite and calcite.
