Selective Adsorption Mechanism of Zinc Ions on the Surfaces of Galena
As an important source of zinc, sphalerite is commonly associated with galena and other valuable minerals. The principle of zinc inhibition and lead flotation is often used in the separation of Pb-Zn sulfide ores because the natural floatability of sphalerite is much smaller than that of galena. 1,2 However, because sphalerite still has certain floatability and can also be collected by ...
