Analysis of the Mechanism of Action of Organic Inhibitors in Metal Ore Flotation . Organic inhibitors play a crucial role in metal ore flotation, and their mechanism of action is a. complex and diverse process.
Lime is widely used as a depressant for pyrite in the flotation separation of non-ferrous metal sulfide ores, but its application is impeded by challenges such as high dosage requirements and extremely abundant Ca 2+ ions in circulating water. In this study, pre-oxidation was implemented prior to lime addition during pyrite flotation, and the …
