Determination of optimal flotation conditions of low-grade graphite ore

Abstract

In this study, the enrichment of the Kütahya Altıntas graphite ore by flotation was carried out. Flotation parameters such as particle size, pH, type and dosage of collector, and frother dosage, dosage of depressant, as well as solid ratio were investigated. As a result, a clean graphite concentrate of 77.80% total carbon content was obtained with 46.68% total carbon recovery.
