Solution Chemistry of Tungsten Flotation
摘要
Solution chemistry directly reflects the flotation behavior. Wolframite and scheelite are the typical tungsten ores, and their surface dissolution and transformation are inevitably occurred, which influence the adsorption of regents and the effect of flotation. In this chapter, the solution chemistry of wolframite and scheelite was firstly studied and summarized to release the characteristic of tungsten minerals. Then, the flotation solution chemistry of reagents, such as regulators and collectors, was also researched and analyzed to provide a reference for the selection of tungsten flotation. Finally, the coordination reaction of metal ions with flotation reagents was systematically concluded to improve the theoretical system of flotation.
