A novel low-temperature collector was adopted in the reverse flotation of Qidashan iron ore. Based on a reverse flotation condition test at low temperature, closed-circuit reverse flotation tests at room temperature and low temperature, as well as the study on the mineral adsorption mechanism, it is found that under conditions including pulp temperature at 10 ℃, pH of 11.0, caustic starch as a depressor at an amount of 600 g/t, CaO as an activator at an amount of 750 g/t, CH collector at an amount of 1 050 g/t, and pulp density of 30%, the reverse flotation consisting of one stage of roughing and one stage of cleaning can produce an iron concentrate grading 68.32% Fe at 70.76% recovery;the closed-circuit tests by adopting a process consisting of one stage of roughing, one stage of cleaning and three stages of scavenging at 10 ℃ can yield an iron concentrate grading 66.32% Fe at 85.14% recovery;while the close-circuit test at room temperature (25 ℃) results in 85.45% Fe recovery into an iron concentrate grading 67.31% Fe. It has proven that CH collector can bring good flotation effect at low temperatures. Infrared spectroscopy analysis, quartz contact angle testing and surface tension measurements indicate that CH collector has a stronger adsorption on quartz surfaces compared to traditional anionic collector sodium oleate.
