Ambient Temperature Flotation of Sedimentary Phosphate Ore Using Cottonseed Oil as a Collector

The mid-low grade sedimentary phosphate ore, abundant in silicate and carbonate gangue minerals, exhibits a poor processability. It is conventionally enriched using high temperature flotation to remove silicate gangues with fatty acid as a collector. Cottonseed oil has been proved to be an efficient...
