Chen et al. applied four different reagents (H 2 O 2, K 2 Cr 2 O 7, KMnO 4, and NaClO) to prompt the selective flotation separation of pyrite from arsenopyrite. It was found that H 2 O 2 presented the more positive effects on the flotation separation of pyrite and arsenopyrite [13]. To sum up, oxidation-based surface modification was critical ...

Flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc is difficult due to the good natural floatability of two minerals. In this work, carrageenan was investigated as a novel depressant for chalcopyrite flotation. Micro-flotation tests results demonstrated the carrageenan could depress the floatability of talc and had no effect on the chalcopyrite ...

Froth flotation is a separation method that changes the surface chemistry of desired minerals, rendering them hydrophobic which allows the desired minerals to attach to air bubbles and float to the surface of the water, forming a froth. Collectors are the primary chemical added into the system to aid in flotation.

Flotation is a process to selectively separate different minerals by using the differences in the mineral surface properties [7]. A depressant is a kind of regulator in the flotation that it is used to increase the hydrophilicity of gangue minerals. Depressants mainly include inorganic depressants and organic depressants [15], [16], [17].
