reported through the reverse anionic flotation (RAF) (Table 1). Low sensitivity to the presence of fines, low cost, and being environmentally friendly are some of the advantages of the anionic process compared to the catio-nic one.[5,12,13] However, iron ore's anionic reverse flota-tion can be quite challenging when iron ores have silica

In flotation, pH control is a vital method to control selective mineral separation. A standard depressant that is used is an Alkali. An Alkali is any substance that when mixed with Acid will neutralize each other and form a new chemical substance called a BASE. This is very important. The ore may be either alkaline or Acidic.
