Abstract
⺠Conventional flotation devices can be inefficient to selectively recovery fine particles. ⺠The effect of process variables on the performance of dissolved air flotation of apatite was studied. ⺠The bubbles size distribution of the dissolved air system was measured, with values less than 100 μm. ⺠The satisfactory performance requirements for fine phosphate ore flotation were achieved. ⺠P2O5 grade and apatite recovery, respectively, higher than 30% and 60% for fine particles were obtained.
