This invention discloses a combined collector for low-temperature
iron ore flotation desilication and its application, belonging to the field of
iron ore flotation technology. The combined collector of this invention is an anionic combined collector, composed of three components: component 1 is
sodium oleate, component 2 is
sodium linoleate, and component 3 is
sodium decanoate. Components 1, 2, and 3 are each prepared into 5% (w / w) aqueous solutions. The ratio of the aqueous solutions of components 1, 2, and 3 is adjusted and mixed evenly to obtain the combined collector for low-temperature
iron ore flotation desilication. This combined collector is used for
reverse flotation desilication of difficult-to-process iron ores under low-temperature conditions (10℃-15℃). This combined collector overcomes the shortcomings of traditional anionic collectors, which have poor collection ability under low-temperature conditions. It reduces the pulp temperature required for
reverse flotation desilication of iron ore (no heating required), effectively reducing the
energy consumption of the
concentrator. Furthermore, the components of the combined collector are widely available, commercially accessible, and low in cost, which is conducive to industrial-scale promotion and application.
