The flotation of graphite ore is generally carried out by positive flotation followed by reverse flotation of the flotation concentrate. A higher grade graphite concentrate can be obtained by flotation. Flotation graphite concentrate grades can usually reach 80% to 90%, using multi-stage grinding; the purity can reach 98%. ...

four-stage flotation at mills in Europe and the United States to simple hand sorting and screening of high-grade ore at operations in Sri Lanka. Certain soft graphite ores, such as those found in Madagascar, need no primary crushing and grinding. typically, such ores contain the highest proportion of coarse flakes.
