Fundamental advances in the flotation separation of sphalerite and pyrite: Mechanisms, surface chemistry, reagents, and emerging low-alkalinity strategies
{{output}}
Flotation separation of sphalerite (ZnS) from pyrite (FeS₂) is of critical industrial importance but remains technically challenging due to the convergence of their floatability. This challenge is exacerbated by the effects of dissolved metal ions, complex el... ...
