Salt Flotation of Sirnak Asphaltite
The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of cleaning, Sirnak asphaltite by salt flotation. For this purpose, experimental studies were conducted on a, Sirnak asphaltite sample containing high ash and sulfur content. The effects of salt amount, pH, frother amount, and impeller speed on the flotation were investigated separately in different salt (KCI, BaCI2, FeCI3) mediums. The influence of FeCI3 on the removal ash and total sulfur was found to be important.
