Fig. 3 shows the recovery of kaolinite and hematite, using the collector DTAB, as a function of pH considering the three concentrations tested. The results showed that the separation between kaolinite and hematite is possible in the full range of pH, just for the concentration of collector equal to 1 × 10 −4 mol/L. Zhao et al. (2007), using an ammonium quaternary …
