Given that the value of graphite flake increases with both increasing size and % graphitic carbon, it is preferential for Woxna to maximise the coarse flake by froth flotation. In general, it is difficult to achieve grades of 96% graphitic carbon by froth flotation alone and it is necessary 'to resort to chemical methods for further purification.

Various chemical reagents are employed in graphite flotation to achieve the desired separation. 1. Collectors. Collectors are surface-active agents that selectively adsorb onto the graphite particles, rendering them hydrophobic. Commonly used collectors in graphite flotation include hydrocarbons, fatty acids, and their derivatives.
After flotation, 40% (wt/wt) of the flotation feed was collected in the froth phase with a grade of 85.2% carbon, corresponding to a recovery of 93.2% of the graphite from the spent LIBs. Chemical purification of the flotation product was conducted to remove the fine particles of lithium transition metal oxides, resulting in a very high purity ...
Froth flotation can be used for flake size characterization of graphite. This test gives us a clear indication of the size distribution and liberation of the graphite, along with revealing which factor(s) would have a direct effect on the recovery …
The removal of gangue minerals from three different graphite ores (İnebolu, Akdağmadeni and Çoraklıdere) from Turkey by acid leaching was studied. Acid leaching experiments were applied to the flotation bulk concentrates, which were obtained in determined optimum conditions after preliminary flotation tests. The effects of acid type, acid …
In this article, enrichment of graphite by froth flotation was studied by investigating the effect of reagents concentrations, rotation speed and particle size on the carbon grade and recovery of the concentrate. The carbon grade increased from 3.00% to 60.00% at the optimum flotation conditions.

The pretreatment process, both conventional and unconventional; liberation/grinding methods; flotation methods like mechanical froth flotation, column flotation, ultrasound-assisted flotation, and electroflotation; and more emphasis on various flotation reagents are all covered in this review of beneficiation techniques.
The studies indicate that froth flotation, which outperforms acid leaching (keeping in mind environmental considerations), can make graphite samples with high purity and fixed …
The dosages of frother (methyl isobutyl carbinol, MIBC) at 0.005 kg/t and collector (kerosene) at 1 kg/t were optimal for the flotation of Kish graphite. After three-stage froth flotation, the graphite content of the concentrate was progressively increased to 84.09 wt.%, and the entire recovery rate was 93.05%.
