Abstract

This article describes the suitability of the flotation method in the processing of talc raw material from the Gemerská Poloma deposit. The conclusions are based on the analysis of test results of controlled material samples from plant trials that were conducted in two flotation facilities. The evaluation of the results of the trial runs, chemical analysis, and other analyses conducted on the control mineral samples confirmed relatively high levels in the range between 83.9-88% of whiteness in the samplemineral concentrate. However, it is known that the talc will reach its final level of whiteness after it is ground into more refined particles. The trials also confirmed high effectiveness of separation of pyrite and other accompanying minerals. Based on the results of the chemical analysis of the concentrates, it is safe to conclude that the flotation method can be deemed suitable for the enriching of talc extracted from the Gemerska Poloma deposit.
