Since the preferential dissolution of hydroxyl ion, serpentine is positively charged under
weak alkaline conditions, and easily covers on sulfide minerals through electrostatic …

Featured Application This article reviews the applications of X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy in beneficiation and hydrometallurgy of sulfide minerals and ores of base and …

Fine serpentine can form slimes coating on sulfide surface, which worsens sulfide flotation.
To solve this problem, in this study, the effect of citric acid (CA) on the flotation separation of …

The flotation separation between sulfides and fine serpentine has always been a difficult
problem due to their hetero-coagulation. To acquire a better understanding on the adverse …

Abstract Certain South African platinum-group element (PGE) ores contain abundant
phyllosilicate minerals which result in ultrafine coatings on valuable minerals, increase pulp …

To limit the adverse effect of serpentine on the flotation of pyrite, lemon yellow (LY) was used
as a potential depressant for serpentine, and the depression effects and mechanisms were …

Due to the optimum dissolution of the hydroxyl ion, serpentine is positively charged and
tends to cover the sulfide mineral surface as a slime coating through electrostatic attraction …

During the serpentine-contained sulfide ores flotation process, the presence of serpentine
slimes will intensively deteriorate the flotation performance of sulfide ores due to hetero …

Serpentine sludge found on sulfide ores can complicate the flotation process. In this study, a
new inhibitor called Ethylenediamine Tetramethylenephosphonic acid (EDTMPA) was …

Valuable mineral ores often contain varying amounts of phyllosilicate alteration minerals,
such as talc, serpentine and kaolinite, which pose challenges during flotation. These …
