Selective flotation separation of hemimorphite from quartz …
The flotation results showed that LS exerted high selectivity for hemimorphite, and flotation separation of hemimorphite from quartz was achieved at an LS concentration of 3.4 × 10 −4 mol/L and a pulp pH of 7. In contrast to sodium oleate (NaOL), LS exhibited a higher Gaudin's selectivity index (SI) of 67.58 under the optimal conditions ...
