Gu, Feng published the artcileFundamental study on the recovery of gadolinium gallium garnet from slicing dust [generated in wafer manufacture] by flotation, Quality Control of 2016-56-0, the publication is Shigen to Sozai (1991), 107(5), 289-93, database is CAplus.
The separation of Gd Ga garnet (GGG) from green carborundum (GC) by flotation was investigated. GGG was selectively floated from GC by using dodecylammonium acetate as a collector, H2SO4 or H3PO4 as an activator for GGG, and starch as a depressor for GC. The activation of GGG with H2SO4 is caused by the specific adsorption of sulfate ion and by the chem. interaction between sulfate ion and dodecylammonium ion on the GGG surface.
