This paper describes a bench scale investigation on the preparation of flake graphite concentrate from the steel making waste, obtained from Pakistan Steels, Karachi. The waste initially containing 65 % graphitic carbon has been upgraded by froth flotation technique to produce graphite concentrate containing 92.14 % graphitic carbon with 96.46 % recovery. This communication presents the results on the optimization of flotation parameters like pH, pulp density and reagents etc.
