Froth flotation has been a commonly employed technique to enrich natural ores by removing
impurities based on the surface properties of minerals. This process involves the use of …

There is currently a need to develop efficient and environmentally friendly (green) collectors
to improve the poor flotation performance of long-flame coal (LFC) due to its vast porosity …

Flotation process of micro-fine minerals have historically been hampered by slow flotation
rate, poor selectivity, high reagent consumption, and low recovery. These disadvantages are …

The presence of sulfur affects the clean utilization of coking coal. Inorganic sulfur in coal,
which exists mainly in the form of pyrite, inherently pollutes clean coal during flotation, while …

Bauxite is one of the main raw materials in the alumina industry. Fine high-sulfur bauxite
flotation desulfurization is a great challenge presently. This study aims to synthesize …

In this study, sodium alginate (SA) was used as a selective depressant, combined with
potassium permanganate oxidizing pretreatment, which will benefit the separation of …

Effective desulfurization of high-sulfur bauxite is one of the major problems in the alumina
production industry. To overcome this, a novel nanoparticle collector (NC) to improve the …

Efficient recovery of fine mineral particles is challenging for minerals flotation due to a small
particle mass and high specific surface area. This work innovatively applied a multifunctional …

Pyrite, as a disturbing gangue mineral in the beneficiation of valuable sulfide minerals and
coal resources, is usually required to be depressed for floating in flotation practice …

Starches can adsorb on and depress copper-activated pyrite desirably during flotation, an
important process in ore mineral extraction. In order to develop structure/function …
