Boric acid and kieserite were prepared from low-grade ascharite by sulfuric acid method. This method results in the recovery of 71.06% and 45.03% for boric acid and kieserite, respectively. Meanwhile, the boric acid was precipitated from the filtrate at low temperature and the solution was recyc...detailed
Sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) was used to minimize the adverse effect of serpentine for improving ascharite recovery. The effects of particle size and content of SHMP, and serpentine on ascharite flotation process were investigated through flotation, zeta potential tests, FT-IR analysis, XPS a...detailed
