Flocculation in Mineral Processing | SpringerLink

Flocculation is a characteristic property of colloidal dispersions. The typical classical sol contained sub-microscopic dispersed particles which would pass freely through ordinary filter-paper, and were too small to be resolved by any transmission optical microscope. Consequently, an arbitrary size limit of 0.1 μm could be defined as the upper size …Web

Removal of iron from silica sand by surface cleaning using power

In fact it is possible to apply ultrasonic power directly to mineral processing. Silica sand for glass making needs a low content of iron. It is known that there is an iron-rich coating on the particle surface and in fissures, which makes silica sand high in iron content and rusty in appearance. Iron coating sticks on the surface so firmly that ...Web
