Abstract

This dissertation presents the results of a collector - depressant equilibria study of the flotation systems potassium n-amyl xanthate - sodium cyanide - molybdenite and ethyl zanthate sodium sulfide - molybdenite and the study of conditions necessary for the selective flotation of covellite, tetra-hedrite, bornite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite, marcasite and pyrite in the system ethyl xanthate and sodium cyanide; the conditions necessary for the selective flotation of pyrite, covellite, bornite, galena, chalcopyrite, active sphalerite, and molybdenite in the system potassium ethyl xanthate and sodium sulfide; the conditions necessary for the selective flotation of molybdenite and pyrite in the system of potassium n-amyl xanthate and sodium cyanide; the condition necessary for the flotation of molybdenite and galena in the system potassium n-amyl xanthate and sodium sulfide.
