Ilmenite is the world’s primary titanium resource, accounting for over 90% of the total titanium ore supply. It is not only a key raw material for the production of titanium dioxide (a titanium dioxide pigment) but also a fundamental source of metallurgical-grade titanium products, such as titanium sponge and titanium alloys. Due to the continued … Read more
Lead-zinc ores are commonly processed using froth flotation, a technique that selectively separates valuable minerals (galena for lead and sphalerite for zinc) from gangue based on surface chemistry. However, achieving optimal recovery and grade requires strict adherence to operational principles and precautions. This guide outlines key flotation principles for lead-zinc ores, flotation concentration optimization, and … Read more
