To address the problems of high titanaugite silicate content in ilmenite and the low recovery of the existing gravity separation process from a certain area in Xinjiang, a systematic experimental study on flotation was conducted. Under the conditions of a raw ore TiO2 grade of 15.64% and an ilmenite distribution rate of 77.37%, using a composite binary organic acid as the titanaugite depressant and adopting the beneficiation process flowsheet of "desulfurization reverse flotation-ilmenite direct flotation", an ilmenite concentrate with a yield of 26.02%, a TiO2 grade of 45.62%, and a recovery of 76.27% was obtained through the closed-circuit test. Compared with the existing gravity separation process, the TiO2 recovery rate in ilmenite concentrate by high intensity magnetic separation-flotation process is increased by 8.1 precentage points, and the ilmenite content in the concentrate reached 91.22%, which achieved the effective flotation separation of ilmenite and titanaugite. Zeta potential measurements and adsorption tests indicate that the composite binary organic acid has a greater impact on the surface potential of titanaugite and a higher adsorption amount, which increases the floatability difference between titanaugite and ilmenite, and provides a basis for their flotation separation.
