The effect of clay minerals on the process of flotation of copper ores
Processing of high clay ores is usually related to negative effects in particular in the flotation stages. A good description was made recently in the work by Chen and Peng (2018), who developed a general review about the mechanisms and behaviour of clays in mineral flotation.

Recovering Lithium from Clays
A chloride roast-water leach process has been reported by Peterson and Gloss for extracting lithium from spodumene ores. In this process, 347 parts of potassium chloride (KCl) was roasted with 100 parts of spodumene containing 3.58 pct Li. The ratio of KCl to lithium in the ore was 89:1.

Challenges in processing nickel laterite ores by flotation
It should be added that segregation of laterite ores prior the flotation process has shown some improvement in upgrading nickel. The segregation process relies on the addition of calcium chloride or sodium chloride and carbon allowing the formation of nickel and iron chlorides at temperatures between 900 and 1150 °C.

Phosphatic waste clay: Origin, composition
The REE content was elevated from an initial value of 307.1 ppm to 800 ppm, with an 80% recovery resulting from the same process. The removal of clays, silicates, and carbonates up to a point to meet the medium-grade phosphate ore specifications also facilitates the subsequent recovery of REEs using chemical separation.
