In 2016, the national mineral resources plan (2016-2020) lists crystalline graphite in the strategic mineral catalog. Crystalline graphite is a strategic resource in China. To obtain high-grade and high recovery concentrate, graphite ores need to be broken, separated, and purified. Flotation is usually used for separation.

The floatation method is to use the floatability of graphite to enrich and purify the graphite, which is mainly suitable for the natural flake graphite with good floatability.The final concentrate grade of graphite after flotation is usually about 90%, sometimes 94-95%.

Graphite is naturally floatable due to its hydrophobic property and also soft and smears on other gangue particles, rendering the gangue more or less floatable too. Due to this reason it is important to concentrate on areas such as suitable flotation reagents, depression agents, pH modifiers, and particle size to be fed during the process. The paper surveys and analyses the suitable particle ...

Graphite is a natural floater. Flotation has become the accepted method of beneficiation of graphite (Crawford and Ralston, 2008). Flake graphite from disseminated deposits is difficult to concentrate, therefore, a number of processes have been evolved by different countries.

Graphite flotation process. The scale graphite flotation process is generally a closed-circuit process of multi-stage grinding, multi-stage sorting, and medium-mine order (or centralized) return. There are three forms of multi-stage processes, namely re-grinding of concentrates, re-grinding of mines and re-grinding of tailings.

Flotation is the most widely used method of graphite mineral processing. In addition, according to the different ore properties, electro-separation, gravity separation and combined separation can also be used. The process flow of graphite mineral separation is mainly applicable to various graphite ores with different crystalline forms and graphite ores with silicate minerals such as mica or ...

In graphite ore, sericite is one of the main gangue minerals, and thus it is a major impurity in graphite flotation concentrate [128].

After graphite is mined, it usually requires a considerable amount of mineral processing like froth flotation to concentrate the graphite. Natural graphite is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, stable over a broad range of temperatures, and a highly refractory material with a high melting point of 3650 °C.
