Study on the Interaction in Silica-Sphalerite-Mixture (Silica:Sphalerite=4:1)-Gypsum Systems

Abstract:

There is a remarkable interaction when fine particles adsorbed calcium ions in sphalerite / silica system, it is not conducive to mineral flotation. That is the key to how to reduce or eliminate calcium ions for reducing the interactions. This paper focuses on Zeta potential and Zeta potential distribution (ZPD) with single minerals and Mixture (silica/sphalerite=4:1) in gypsum solution, and the interactions of the sphalerite / silica particles was analyzed.
