The sulfuration–amine method uses sodium sulfide to sulfurate zinc oxide minerals, and uses a cationic collector (such as primary amine) as a collector for flotation. Since amine collectors cannot collect calcite and dolomite, and excessive sodium sulfide will not significantly inhibit the flotation of zinc oxide minerals, the sulfuration ...
The flotation research of zinc oxide ores has been paid more and more attention with the increasing demand for zinc resources. In this particular study, micro-flotation tests were carried out using a mixed ternary collector comprising dodecylamine (DDA), potassium isoamyl xanthate (KAX), and ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate …
However, flotation for zinc recovery from nonsulfide deposits is much more difficult than the flotation of sphalerite from sulfide deposits and may become an option for zinc production only if a suitable processing technology is developed. In this regard, research efforts are being devoted to the flotation of nonsulfide zinc oxide minerals.
As the easy-to-process zinc sulphide ores are being depleted, the utilization of zinc oxide ores has attracted more and more attention (Bai et al., 2020, Luo et al., 2019, Zhao et al., 2018). Froth flotation is the most popular method for the recovery of zinc …

Flotation performance can be improved not only by changing a single factor, but also by balancing the effects of different factors. In this paper, a satisfactory flotation separation result was obtained by modifying the surface characteristics of zinc oxide minerals and selecting a suitable collector to match each mineral.
Flotation of zinc oxide ore using cationic and cationic-anionic mixed collectors 155 Conclusion From two amine collectors used in this study, Armac T acts a little more selectively than Armac C and results in smithsonite concentrate with higher Zn grade while Ar- mac C is effective in enhancing the recovery of Zn. The KAX–Armac C mixed collec ...
Owing to the similarities in the physicochemical and surface chemistry of the constituent minerals, separation of zinc oxide minerals from their gangues by flotation is an …
Oxide lead–zinc ore sample containing 10.17% Pb, 10.98% Zn, 57 g/t Ag and 164 g/t Cd was subjected to this experimental study and taken from Kayseri located in the foothills of the Aladağ Mountains, Turkey. Preliminary flotation tests with the ore sample indicated that there was no selectivity in terms of zinc recovery; therefore studies were …
The influence of the pH adjusting reagent on zinc oxide flotation is shown in table 3. After adding 3000 g/t Na 2 S into the pulp, the given pH regulator was added to reach pH = 11. It is clear that using Na 2 CO 3 as a pH modifier can reduce both grade and recovery of zinc in the concentration while applying NaOH has desirable results.
this is a classic. Galena flotation always precedes sphalerite flotation. The separation is done via pH control while zinc sphalerite is still inactive. Once the Pb is removed, the addition of copper sulphate will activate the zinc …
The main purpose of this study was to find the optimum values for factors affecting the Zn recovery rate using oxine or dithizone as a chelating agent collector during flotation in a Hallimond tube. Eight control factors, including four levels of pH, oxine/dithizone, corn starch, sodium thiosulfate, sodium citrate, sodium silicate, …
The objective was to verify the flotation behavior of the silicate zinc ore (calamine type) in the presence of slimes, with the aid of dispersing agents. Characterization studies identified the major minerals in the flotation feed as hemimorphite (calamine), quartz and dolomite. Dispersion tests showed that enhanced dispersion of …

20 - Flotation of Mixed Lead Zinc Sulphide Oxide and Oxide Lead and Zinc Ores. Pages. 67-86. Publisher Summary. Flotation of the lead oxide minerals is a difficult problem not least because there are no known direct acting collectors. Normally, during oxide lead flotation, a sulphidization method is used with xanthate as a collector.
The scope of this study was to recover oxide lead and zinc minerals from Aladağ Region (Kayseri-Turkey) ores.
