In terms of the calculation results, the relationship between chemical reactions occurring on the scheelite surface and molecular structures of the reagents were analyzed. The results show that BHA and carboxylic acid collectors interact with scheelite in different forms and the recovery of scheelite using sodium oleate as collector declines successively from SHAP, sodium silicate, to oxalic acid. Moreover, it is found that the performance of depressant in scheelite flotation is directly related to the group electronegativity, indicating that the latter is a dominant factor that determines the former. These findings will be helpful to the academic research communities of scheelite flotation.展开更多

Primary gold-bearing sulfide ore is fine-grained pyrite and arsenopyrite. The paper describes the effects of ratios and dosage of activators and collectors on the recovery and grade of gold concentrate. A proper flotation flowsheet was then proposed based on experimental condition and closedcircuit test. The gold concentrate with the gold grade of25.14 g ton-1and the recovery of 86.94 % is obtained after one rougher, three cleaners, and four scavengers from fine grinding flotation process. Furthermore, the mechanisms of combined activators and combined collectors were studied by thermodynamic calculation, and structure-activity relationship of flotation reagent was also explained展开更多
