Understanding the role of water quality in separation of rare earth
In many mineral processing plants, using saline water has become necessary to improve water efficiency. However, the dissolved ions in the water such as Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ may have a significant negative impact on the flotation of RE (rare earth) minerals due to the chemical reaction with flotation reagents used in RE flotation. Although some researchers investigated …
