There exist active adsorption sites in the spodumene leach residue (SLR), the solid waste of spodumene after high-temperature roasting and leaching. It is potential for SLR to selectively adsorb Li+ from brine because of the “memory effect”. Lithium ion adsorption isotherm and adsorption rate ...detailed
The selective flotation separation of spodumene from other aluminosilicate minerals remains a challenging problem in flotation chemistry, and the surface chemistry features are of fundamental importance. In this study, the interfacial chemistry features, particularly the wetting characteristics ...detailed
In our latest study, it was reported that the effective flotation separation of spodumene from feldspar could be achieved using a mixture of the anionic collector, sodium oleate (NaOL) and the cationic collector, dodecylamine hydrochloride (DDA). This study is an extension of the previous work t...detailed
The effects of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate on the flotation of spodumene were investigated by flotation tests, XPS and SEM measurments and thermodynamic analysis. A collector YOA (a mixture of 90% oleic acid and 10% dodecyl amine) was used in the flotation. It was found that sodium hyd...detailed
