The results show that the selectivity of these collectors for these three calcareous minerals falls in the order： DDDAC 〉 DDBAC 〉 DTAC. A significantly different flotation response of scheelite compared to the other two calcareous minerals was observed over the pH range from 7 to 8 for DDDAC as the collector. A concentrate containing 41.40% W03 could be produced from a feed mixture containing 23.22% WO3 at the DDDAC concentration of 4.0× 10^-4 mol/L. The WO3 recovery was 92.92% under these conditions. The results of zeta potential measurements suggest that electrostatic interactions are the main forces between DDDAC and the minerals. When the concentration of DDDAC is from 2× 10^-4 to 4×10-3 mol/L large differences in adsorption density, and adsorption kinetics, of DDDAC onto scheelite, calcite, and fluorite provide desirable conditions for achieving high selectivity.展开更多
