Item Characterization of the Angico dos Dias alkaline-carbonatite complex for phosphate rock processing.(2020) Mata, Carlos Eduardo Domingues da; Pereira, Carlos Alberto; Silva, André Carlos; Sousa, Pedro Lucas Rodrigues deThe alkaline-carbonatite complex of Angico dos Dias, located in the Northeast of Brazil, is currently exploited to produce phosphate rock concentrate. Coarse particles (above 600m) are processed through a dry route accounting for 53% of the run of mine. Chemical and mineralogical compositions, density, particle size distribution, mineralogical associations, and mineral liberation were determined. A wet processing route for the fine particles was proposed in this paper, comprehending the following stages: scrubbing, low-intensity magnetic separation, desliming, milling, anionic direct flotation, and wet high-intensity magnetic separation. X-ray diffraction analysis showed fluorapatite as the main phosphate bearing mineral, silicates and iron oxyhydroxides are the predominantly gangue minerals. Mineral liberation analysis showed that 40.8% of the apatite particles had completely exposed surface and 73.05% had at least 90%. Regarding mineral liberation, 87.6% were entirely liberated and 11.6% were binary association. Energy dispersive spectrum microanalysis results showed the presence of three rare earth elements bearing minerals in the ore. The average P2O5 content of the ROM ore was 15.39%, and its recovery above 212m was 76.95%. Below this size, the P2O5 content decrease progressively, whereas the Fe2O3, Al2O3, and SiO2 contaminants increase. The absence of calcite and dolomite could favor the process selectivity in an anionic direct flotation using fatty acids as collectors. Therefore, the proposal for a wet processing design for concentration of apatite covers.Item Caracterização física, química e mineralógica de uma amostra de minério de ferro de Brucutu.(2019) Rocha, Geriane Macedo; Gonçalves, Gizele Maria Campos; Ramos, Kennedy da Silva; Cota, Tiany Guedes; Lima, Rosa Malena FernandesA caracterização de um minério permite a previsibilidade do seu comportamento frente aos processos de concentração. Apenas dados granuloquímicos nem sempre são suficientes, sendo o reconhecimento das espécies minerais, suas proporções, forma de grãos e liberabilidade também fundamentais. Neste trabalho é apresentada a caracterização física, química e mineralógica de um minério de ferro da mina de Brucutu/Quadrilátero Ferrífero-MG. Foram realizadas análises granulométricas por peneiramento e granulômetro a laser, químicas por fluorescência de raios X e mineralógica por microscopia óptica e difração de raios X. Baseado nos resultados obtidos, o minério foi classificado como friável, com teor global de Fe igual a 42,9% e SiO2 de 36,1%. Os minerais de ferro identificados foram hematita e goethita e, o principal mineral de ganga o quartzo. Na fração +1,0 mm o quartzo ocorre majoritariamente em partículas mistas com os grãos de hematita e goethita. Abaixo desta granulometria, o mesmo ocorre como partículas livres. Acima de 0,15 mm a hematita é predominantemente porosa, e abaixo de 0,15 mm granular. A goethita encontra-se associada à hematita granular em todas as frações granulométricas.Item The infrared spectra of amine collectors used in the flotation of iron ores.(2005) Lima, Rosa Malena Fernandes; Brandão, Paulo Roberto Gomes; Peres, Antônio Eduardo ClarkInverse froth flotation is the most used concentration method for itabiritic iron ores, where the quartz gangue is floated, and the iron oxides are kept depressed by starches; medium-chain etheramine acetates are the cationic collectors used. Since there is a lack of thorough studies on the infrared spectroscopy of these reagents (and by other similar techniques), an investigation on the band assignment in the infrared spectra of a typical etheramine acetate was carried out by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry. To distinguish the bands due to the cationic amine ion from the acetate anion ones, a molecular decyletheramine was also studied, as well as its salts, after some degrees of neutralisation, by acetic or hydrochloric acids; also, potassium acetate was included, to assess the anion bands alone. From this approach, all the significant bands were successfully assigned to the important functional groups in the collector_s molecule: NHx, C H2, C H3, –O–, and the acetate bands. A confirmation of this method was the identification of the amine cation bands alone, without the presence of the previously associated acetate bands, after adsorption onto the surface of quartz particles, from an aqueous solution of a decyletheramine acetate, at pH = 10.5.
