The flotation method of spodumene is a frequently used method. The essence is to grind the ore and preferentially float the spodumene. In the alkaline slurry of sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate, after high concentration and strong agitation, After multiple times of washing and de-muding, the fatty acid (such as oleic acid) or its soap is used as a collector to directly float the spodumene: after three selections, the grade is more than 5% and the recovery rate is 70%. 75% of spodumene concentrate.
A mine ore in Xinjiang contains 1.3% Li 2 O. After normal temperature flotation, the grade of spodumene concentrate is 4% to 5%, and the recovery rate is 85% to 90%.
