In the cationic reverse flotation of iron ore at alkaline pH (9 to 10.5), gelatinized starch with NaOH is used as an iron ore depressant (Silva et al., 2019). In this process, a desliming step must be applied to remove particles below 10 µm, which can result in large mineral losses (Gonçalves and Lima, 2020).
