Abstract
During beneficiation of low-grade chromite ore, huge amounts of ultrafine tailings are generated and contain substantial metal values which need to be recovered. Selective flocculation technique is one of the processes for beneficiation of ultrafine particles. Here an attempt was made to establish selective flocculation process by using two types of synthetic mixtures. In addition to this, selective flocculation was also attempted on natural tailings. It was found that it is possible to enrich the chromite value using the selective flocculation process. The selectivity of the wheat starch to the chromite mineral was also investigated using image analysis, FTIR analysis, and zeta potential analysis.
