Abstract: The depression effect of starch on fine hematite is poor during the reverse flotation of hematite. Flotation tests, EDLVO calculations, particle size analysis and SEM analysis were used to investigate the depression effect of starch on fine hematite with the assistance of magnetic seeding aggregation. The results showed that the depression effect of starch on hematite decreased with the decrease of hematite particle size. The addition of magnetite enhanced the depression effect, which became more obvious with the increase of magnetite particle size. The attraction between magnetite of different sizes and fine hematite leads to the aggregation of magnetite with hematite particles, and the larger the particle size of magnetite, the stronger the attraction is. The magnetic seeding aggregation increased the apparent particle size of fine hematite, thus strengthened the depression effect of starch on hematite.
