The results revealed that the particle size and concentration of kerosene aerosol had little effect on the Mo grade but had significant effect on the Mo recovery. A smaller particle size and a lower con-centration of kerosene aerosol were beneficial to the Mo aerosol flotation. For the received Mo ore samples, the optimized particle size of kerosene aerosol was 0.3-2 μm and the optimized aerosol concentration was 14 mg/L. The compressed air atomizer had a more uniform dis-tribution of aerosol particles than the ultrasonic atomizer, and the aerosol concentration was controlled easily, so the compressed air atomizer was more suitable for the research of aerosol flotation. Compared with conventional flotation in which kerosene was directly added into the ore pulp, the flotation time was reduced by ~30%, and the dosage was decreased by ~20% in aerosol flotation, while the Mo flotation index was similar.展开更多

The experiment results show that amines are excellent extractants for W and Mo. Their sequence of extraction ability for W is as follows: quarternary amine > tertiary amine > secondary amine > primary amine. Acidic organophosphorus extractants do not extract W, but can extract Mo with high extraction ability from the acidic solution. These extractants could provide a potential process for separating W from Mo.展开更多
