In studies that exploit differential oxidation for selectivity, high surface ferric hydroxide on arsenopyrite surface and subsequent retardation of collector species adsorption have been ascribed reason for its poor flotation performance (Chen et al., 2019, Forson et al., 2021b).These studies rest greatly on the refined mixed potential model of …
Froth Flotation Process
Differential Flotation. Differential flotation, sometimes referred to as selective flotation, extracts particular minerals from a complicated combination of ore. In order to achieve separation, this approach depends on variations in the surface characteristics of minerals. Principle of Froth Flotation

Industrially, the molybdenum in this ore was first recovered by differential flotation, and then the tungsten was recovered from the molybdenum tailings. This study only investigated the effect of reagents on tungsten flotation, so the feed ore pulp for batch flotation test was molybdenum tailings. Fig. 1 shows the flotation test process ...
Using chitosan as a selective depressant in the differential flotation
Motivated by such an idea, the differential flotation separation of Cu–Pb sulfide minerals with the use of chitosan was studied to find out whether chitosan could act as an effective selective depressant. It was observed that chitosan selectively depressed copper sulfide while lead sulfide could be floated by a thiol collector such as ...
