In the flotation process of copper sulfide, traditional inorganic depressants used for pyrite
often cause environmental problems and difficulty in treatment of the tailings and waste …

In the process of chalcopyrite–pyrite flotation, depression of pyrite is of great significance. In
this study, tannic acid (TA) was used to replace traditional inorganic reagents for depression …

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 …

The separation of chalcopyrite from pyrite is usually carried out under high alkaline
conditions. However, the separation mechanism of chalcopyrite from pyrite under high …

Separating chalcopyrite, an important copper-containing ore, from pyrite is an important
mineral-processing objective. Herein, we report the synthesis of S-hydroxyethyl-O-isobutyl …

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 …

At present, it is still a difficulty to separate chalcopyrite from pyrite due to the similar
electrochemical properties of the two minerals, which would dilute the grade of copper …

In this work, L-cysteine was introduced as an environmentally-efficient flotation reagent in
the selective separation of molybdenite from chalcopyrite. Its flotation performance and …

Sulfide minerals have similar flotation behavior using the commonly-used collectors such as
xanthate due to its low selectivity to active metal ions on sulfide minerals, which leads to …

Flotation collectors with strong collecting ability and superior selectivity have important
application prospects for recovering complex and refractory copper sulfide resources …
