The flotation separation of hematite and dickite finer than 2&mu;m has been investigated by using a pressure type and a Denver type flotators.Flotation tests were carried out by activating dickite with calcium chloride, followed by adding sodium oleate as a collector.<BR>In both pressure type and Denver type flotation, the separation of dickite from hematite was not achieved, because the addition of calcium chloride increased the floatability of hematite as well as dickite.However, in the case of the pressure type flotation, dickite could be selectively floated from hematite by adding Proper amounts of Separan AP30 (an anionicpolymeric flocculabt) and sodium oleate in the presence of asmall amount of calcium chloride at pH 8 to11. 5.The selective flotation of dickite from hematite by the pressure type flotation may be explained by the following reasons: the preferential adsorption of calcium species on dickite occurs due to its cation exchangeability in the presence of a small amount of calcium chloride at moderately alkaline pH and then hydrophobic flocs of dickite is formed as the result of the increased adsorption of Separan AP30 and oleate ion on the calcium activated dickite surface.The best separation result was obtained at low pulp density of about 1%.
