Sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) is commonly used as a copper depressant in the selective flotation of copper and molybdenum ores. However, the process is facing health and safety issues because NaHS readily yields toxic hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) under acidic conditions. In this study, Na2SO3 was proposed as an alternative copper …
effect in sulfide mineral flotation, it is significant to study the effect of Zn2+ modification on carbonate mineral flotation. In the present study, the flotation separation of magnesite from dolomite using sodium silicate modified with zinc sulfate as the inhibitor and sodium oleate as the collector was investigated.
Sodium cyanide. Sodium cyanide is mainly used to depress sphalerite in the first or lead-flotation stage in separating lead from zinc minerals. Its action on pyrite is nearly as strong as on sphalerite, but it does not affect galena unless a large excess is added or the contact time is too long.
Flotation is a physicochemical process that is used for the separation of hydrophobic particles from hydrophilic ones. This method is widely used in mineral processing for the selective separation of valuable minerals. ... In this study, bubbles are loaded with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as an anionic reagent instead of …
Spodumene flotation stands as the most commonly used method to concentrate lithium minerals. However, it faces significant challenges related to low collector recoveries and similarity in the surface characteristics of the minerals, which make the effective separation of this valuable mineral difficult. For this reason, numerous …

A depressant is essential to the effective flotation-based separation of ilmenite and forsterite, based on their comparable physicochemical characteristics. In this work, dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) was initially introduced as a depressant, to aid in the separation of ilmenite and forsterite. Comparing the DSS to conventional natural starch, …

1. Background. The application of flotation on a reasonable scale within the gold-mining industry commenced in the early 1930s following the introduction of water-soluble flotation collectors (specifically xanthates and dithiophosphate collectors) that allowed differential flotation of sulfide minerals (Weinig and Carpenter, 1937, Rabone, …

The flotation separation of chalcopyrite and talc is challenging due to their similar natural floatability characteristics. Besides, it is usually difficult to effectively inhibit talc by adding sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) alone during chalcopyrite flotation. Here, a combined inhibitor comprising acidified sodium silicate (ASS) and CMC was …

In concentration by flotation, the soluble components of an ore may play an important role. Occasionally ores that are shown by preliminary test to be unsuitable for flotation may be treated by the process after the soluble ingredients have been removed by decantation. On the other hand, excellent results may be obtained on certain ores ...
