Talc is a naturally hydrophobic gangue mineral in most sulfide ores. However, talc has vast
applications in the cosmetics, paper, and paint industries due to its high chemical stability …

A novel method to improve carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) performance in talc flotation is
described in this paper. Micro-flotation results showed that using CMC as the depressant …

Xanthan gum (XG), a clean, non-toxic macromolecular polysaccharide, was studied as a
depressant in the flotation separation of scheelite from calcite. Its selective inhibition …

During froth flotation, the more non-polar, friable talc (Mg 3 (Si 2 O 5) 2 (OH) 2) usually
adheres to the surface of sulfide ore and floats up, causing difficulties in flotation separation …

The separation of arsenopyrite from pyrite has always been a complication due to the lack of
green and high-efficiency flotation reagents. In this study, a macromolecular organic …

In this paper, pectin, a polymer polysaccharide, was studied for its depression during the
selective flotation separation of scheelite from calcite. Zeta potential experiment, FTIR …

Dolomite is a common vein mineral in scheelite, but how to selectively suppress dolomite in
flotation of scheelite has not been addressedin the past research works. In this paper, the …

The flotation separation of fluorite and calcite poses a long-standing challenge in the
mineral processing industry because of their similar physicochemical characteristics. In this …

In this study, fenugreek gum (FG), an organic polysaccharide possesses excellent water
solubility, was introduced as a novel inhibitor for the selective flotation separation of …

The effect of macromolecular depressant sesbania gum (SG) on the flotation separation of
fluorite from calcite by using collector sodium oleate (NaOL) was studied. The flotation …
