In consideration of biotite content in iron concentrate from magnetic separation, it was proposed that a reverse flotation process with sodium oleate was adopted, in which soluble starch was used to depress magnetite and ferric ions (Fe3+) to activate biotite. And then, the flotation results and the mechanism of reagent interaction in flotation process were verified by performing a pure mineral test, zeta potential measurement, adsorption capacity detection and infrared spectra analysis. It is found that Fe3+ can slightly enhance adsorption of sodium oleate and soluble starch onto magnetite surfaces, but significantly enhance their adsorption onto biotite. With Fe3+ at concentration of 1 × 10-3 mol/L, a reverse flotation test of the artificially mixed ore of magnetite and biotite (with magnetite accounting for 70% by mass) can produce biotite at a recovery of 62.76% and magnetite at a recovery of 16.09%, indicating a good separation effect.
