Pyrite is a gangue mineral widely associated with valuable minerals. It is problematic to deal
with in differential flotation because it easily reports to flotation concentrates. Pyrite may float …

Lime (calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide) is arguably the most common reagent used in the
extractive minerals processing industry. As an effective and economic pH modifier, lime is …

The flotation separation of Cu-Fe sulfide minerals at low alkalinity can be achieved using
selective depressants. In the flotation system of Cu-Fe sulfide minerals, depressants usually …

In the present work an intense bibliographic search is developed, with updated information
on the microscopic fundamentals that govern the behavior of flotation operations of …

Depressants are critical reagents for the selective separation of minerals in froth flotation.
They serve a vital role in preferentially making the gangue minerals hydrophilic and prevent …

Pyrite depression in copper ore flotation often requires large doses of inorganic depressants
that lead to high toxicity, high costs, and low selectivity. Thus, this study offers a novel pyrite …

The effect of calcium hypochlorite (Ca (ClO) 2) on the flotation separation of covellite and
pyrite with ammonium dibutyl dithiophophate (ADD) has been investigated through micro …

In the flotation separation of chalcopyrite and pyrite, the commonly used high-lime process
often causes problems such as losses of precious metals, blockage in pipelines and …

Effective and low-cost flotation separation of chalcopyrite and pyrite has always been a
challenge in the minerals processing industry. Traditional depressants in a Cu–Fe sulfide …

Pyrite depression in flotation separation of Zn-S mixed concentrate has become a difficult
and serious problem. This work introduces a non-toxic and efficient depressant reagent …
