ABSTRACT The flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc is difficult due to their good natural floatability. To solve this problem, the effect of gum Arabic (GA) on the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc was systematically investigated and its selective depression mechanism was discussed. Single mineral flotation test results …

Flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc is difficult because of the natural hydrophobicity of two minerals. In this work, the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc using N-carboxymethyl chitosan as a depressant for talc depression was studied. The micro-flotation results indicated that the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc …

Talc, a hydrated magnesium silicate (Mg 3 Si 4 O 10 (OH) 2), belongs to a group of phyllosilicate minerals with diverse industrial utilizations (Orosco et al. 2011; Barani and Aghazadeh 2018).The distinct properties of talc mineral such as hydrophobicity, organophilicity, platyness, chemical inertness, high thermal stability, low electrical …

Flotation characteristics of molybdenite and talc are controlled by surface properties of their cleavage planes. Because the inherent hydrophobicity is common to the cleavage planes of both of these minerals, their separation by flotation is relatively more difficult compared to other mineral separation systems. Wettabilities of molybdenite and …

The flotation properties of talc were significantly influenced by Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Ni2+, and Fe3+. All these metal ions could be adsorbed, and at a specific pH range, the addition of the frother (MIBC) resulted in a substantial decrease in talc flotation recovery. The inhibitory effects followed the order of Fe2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ [58].
