1. Introduction. In the mineral processing industry, lead-zinc sulfide ores are usually processed by froth flotation to enrich the purpose minerals .Flotation is a complex process, and the selective separation of minerals depends on the balance between the hydrophilic species and hydrophobic species on the mineral surface,.Mineral surface species are influenced by many factors, such as

Jul 01, 2020· 1. Introduction. Cerussite, a typical lead oxide mineral, has been extracted as mineral resource for thousands of years. It will be more vital as a supplementary lead resource with the depletion of lead sulfide resource (Feng et al., 2016).Lead oxide minerals respond poorly to flotation due to the higher solubility and surface hydroxylation, compared to their sulfide counterparts (Herrera

Basic mineral processing troubleshooting often requires you to obtained at least the most basic Mineralogical or Microscopy imagery data on a Size by Size base. If you are a metallurgist for a large Mining Company, you can go ahead and spend big-daddy’s money ( $5000 per sample) but if you are just a little guy or gold/general prospector (pro, amateur or hobbyist) you can not afford “the
