The microflotation experiments show that after surface dissolution, the flotation recovery of ilmenite improves from 73.5% to 92.1% at a pH of 6.3, while that of olivine-pyroxene decreases from 59 ...
This work studied the effect of two common magnesium-bearing silicate minerals in sulphide ores (i.e. pyroxene and olivine) on the flotation of pyrite which was used as a model sulphide mineral.
liquidus olivine and pyroxene flotation can exist in the mantle of the Earth's Moon (Circone and Agee, 1996; Smith and Agee, 1997; Delano, 1990). Ohtani et al. (1995)were among the first to propose that the early martian mantle might be subject to crystal liquid density crossovers. Recent work (McSween et al.,

1. Introduction [2] Plastic flow in the upper mantle sustains tectonic activity on Earth and the rheology of ferromagnesian olivine, the overwhelmingly dominant mineral in this region has consequently been the subject of numerous theoretical and experimental investigations (e.g. see recent reviews in Poirier, Evans and Kohlstedt, Karato and Karato and Jung).
The Jurassic Pineto ophiolite from Corsica exposes a ~1-km-thick troctolite–olivine-gabbro sequence, interpreted to represent a lowermost sector of the gabbroic oceanic crust from a (ultra-)slow spreading system. To constrain the petrogenesis of the olivine-gabbros, minor and trace element analyses of olivine (forsterite = 84–82 mol%) were carried out. Olivine from the olivine-gabbros is ...
FROM OLIVINE BY ANIONIC COLLECTORS Chromite is concentrated mostly with shaking tables and spirals. Flotation can be considered as a leading process to beneficiate the fine chromite which cannot be enriched by gravity separation. Because of the complex nature of chromite and olivine which is the most abundant adjoininig
We investigate the thermal evolution of a global magma ocean divided by a dunite septum into a shallow and a lower part with help of simple stability estimations and cooling time calculations. It comes out that the septum is not stable against thermal convection so that this mechanism for a separated chemical evolution of the two mantle regions does not work.
G.V. Rao, in Encyclopedia of Separation Science, 2000 Lateritic Nickel Resources. Lateritic nickel resources are formed when peridotite, an igneous rock comprising predominantly the mineral olivine, which contains around 0.25% Ni, are exposed to prolonged and intense chemical weathering.During such prolonged weathering, the magnesium and silica are leached out of the rock to leave a residue ...
Here we present a dislocation creep flow law for pure ilmenite deformed in axial compression. We use the new flow law to make predictions about the viscosity of ilmenite-olivine aggregates, the effect of low-viscosity ilmenite on lunar cumulate mantle overturn, and the fate of overturned IBC surrounding the lunar core. 2 Experimental Methods
predict a volume-weighted aggregate flow law based on end member flow laws. Predicted viscosities for ilmenite-olivine aggregates at the differential stress condition of experiment W1870 are shown in Figure 2. The dashed line is the isostrain bound and the dash-dotted line is the isostress bound which are robust upper and lower limits
Olivine flotation and settling are rapid in a time period of only a few hours because viscosities are a little greater than that of paraffin oil at room temperature. Some adcumulate textures with good triple junction grain boundaries are developed. General observations of differentiated magmatic systems on a number of scales and experimental ...
Olivine saturation is constrained to occur at pressures <1 GPa; an absence of decompression cracks within olivine overgrowths suggests depths <25 km. Late stage (<25 km) resurfacing and reshaping of olivine by particle-particle milling is indicative of turbulent flow conditions within a fully fluidized, gas-charged, crystal-rich magma.
Olivine flotation provides an important constraint upon Earth evolution models that include extensive melting during early differentiation. It also provides a mechanism for concentrating high Mg/Si olivine in the upper mantle without unduly perturbing other geochemical parameters. A full evaluation of the physical and geochemical consequences ...
chromite has been carried out prior to carbonation, by flotation in a lab-scale column. Method: Industrial-grade olivine and serpentine were tested. Flow conditions e.g. gas flow rate, stirring, particle diameter of …
Therefore, the separation of the unreacted olivine is an important step, also with regards to circulation of this mass flow back to the carbonation reactor. The flotation scheme consisted of monomineral flotation of olivine, magnesite and microsilica to determine the floatability of the single minerals, followed by flotation of an artificial ...

Olivine in basalt: Lherzolite (a variety of peridotite) nodules in a xenolith collected from a basalt flow at Peridot Mesa, Arizona. These xenoliths often contain crystals of olivine with a color and clarity that is suitable for use as a peridot gemstone. This specimen is approximately 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) across.
Based on experiments of two-phase aggregates of olivine + basalt, a two-phase flow theory and a CPO formation model were established to explain these microstructures. Here, we investigate the microstructure in a two-phase aggregate with supercritical CO 2 as the fluid phase and examine the theory and model, to evaluate differences in ...
Olivine flotation in the experimental komatiite commences at a pressure close to where the liquidus phase changes from olivine to denser garnet, leading to the possibility of density driven crystal sorting during fractionation. Molten peridotite (KLB-1) shows an isothermal compression (2000) of 0.065 g cm-j GPa-1 in the interval 105 Pa to 8.2 ...
Olivine flotation and crystallization of a global magma ocean. Phys. Earth Planet. Inter., 74: 23—28. According to the so-called olivine flotation hypothesis, basic silicate liquids become denser than coexisting ultramafic crystalline peridotites at high pressures through their higher compressibility.

Flotation of Chromite Ore. Jun 05, 2017 Effect of Pulp pH on Flotation of Chromite. The effect of pH on flotation response was originally performed on Benbow-1 ore (16.3 percent Cr2O3). The ore was ground to 88 percent minus 65 mesh and deslimed at a 30-micrometer particle size.
Piston-cylinder techniques have been used to observe static compressions of ultrabasic silicate liquids to 6 GPa and 2000°C. Compressions are measured by bracketing sinking and floating of olivine crystals of known density at run conditions. Komatiite, peridotite, and their liquid mixtures with Fe 2 SiO 4 all show constant density changes with pressure of ≅ 0.07 g/cm3/GPa along ...
