Green and efficient reagents have gained considerable attention in flotation research, where
poly-L-aspartic acid (PASP) is an effective reagent to realize the flotation separation of …

The entrainment behavior of fine serpentine seriously deteriorates the recycling efficiency of
brucite. In this paper, the effect of calcium lignosulfonate (CLS) on the flotation separation of …

In this work, pectin was investigated as a non-toxic and eco-friendly sphalerite depressant in
the flotation separation of galena and sphalerite. The selective adsorption of pectin on …

The selective separation of molybdenite from chalcopyrite is difficult because of their similar
floatability in the presence of a collector. In this study, rhodanine-3-acetic acid (3-Rd) was …

To achieve the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from galena, a novel organic fenugreek
gum (FG) with high water solubility was introduced as a galena depressant in this work. The …

Separation of fine serpentine (SPT) from quartz (QZ) both of d 80 close to 20 µm using an
eco-friendly microbial exo-polysaccharide, xanthomonas campestris (XCT), as a selective …

Hypothesis: In xanthate flotation system, the aggregation of serpentine on sulfide minerals
significantly weakened their floatability. And it was generally assumed that the electrostatic …

The inadvertent dissolution of gangue minerals is frequently detrimental to the flotation of
valuable minerals. We investigated the effect of conditioning time on the separation of …

Serpentine, a prevalent magnesium–bearing silicate mineral found in nickel ore,
significantly depresses the flotation of valuable sulfide minerals by covering their surfaces …

The flotation of sulfide minerals has been always a problem due to the slime coating of
serpentine. In this study, phytic acid (PA) was introduced as a selective depressant to …
