The rejects of lepidolite flotation consist, mainly, in a mixture of quartz and feldspars (albite + K-feldspar), as can be observed in Table 1. The second stage of the process consisted in the separation of feldspars and quartz by flotation, leading to the production of a feldspar enriched product (float) and a quartz product (flotation reject).

What is Feldspar?
Feldspar is by far the most abundant group of minerals in the earth's crust, forming about 60% of terrestrial rocks. Most deposits offer sodium feldspar as well as potassium feldspar and mixed feldspars. Feldspars are primarily used in industrial applications for their alumina and alkali content. The term feldspar encompasses a whole range of

In the early 1920's, the nearest feldspar processing mill was in Auburn, Maine. It was not economical to transport the feldspar that far. Alfred Perham, with the help of some local investors, constructed the Oxford Mining and Milling Company plant in 1924 (Figure 3) to process the feldspar mined in the area by the Perhams and others.
