With the gradual depletion of copper sulfide resources, efficient flotation technologies for the recovery of copper oxide minerals, such as malachite, have received significant attention. Although sulfidization plays a critical role in malachite flotation, the fundamental theory of sulfidization flotation remains uncertain in the context of practical industrial applications. In this study, evolution of the sulfide product morphology on the malachite surface was observed after treatment with various concentrations of sodium sulfide. In addition, the valence states and phase compositions of the sulfide products were investigated using different X-ray techniques. Furthermore, the evolution of the malachite surface morphology after the formation of a sulfide film was investigated, as were the interaction forces between the malachite and bubbles under the action of butyl xanthate. As a result, it was possible to directly observe the growth process of the sulfide film on the malachite surface, and the presence of Cu(I) was confirmed in the sulfide products. Moreover, the compositions of the sulfide products were investigated using X-ray techniques. The obtained results demonstrated that the sulfide film facilitated the formation of butyl xanthate product layers on the malachite surface, whilst also enhancing the interfacial interaction forces between the malachite and the bubbles.

Butyl xanthate (BX) usually serve as an available collector in the sulfide mineral flotation. However, it will cause severe pollution and be harmful for living beings when discharged together with beneficiation wastewater. Adsorption, affected by sorbents structure to a great extent, is an effective strategy to treat BX-bearing wastewater. In this paper, ionic liquid-loaded fumed silica (IFS) generated by a simple process was acted as an adsorbent for removing BX from aqueous solution. The ratio of IL loaded onto silicon was about 40 %. The N elements existing in the structure of adsorbents suggested IL loaded onto silica surface successfully. The specific surface area of IFS was 65.25 m 2 /g, which was smaller than original material. And the total pore volume decreased from 36.75 to 15.22 cm 3 g −1 after modification. Different from the virginal silica barely adsorbing BX, ionic liquid (IL) loaded silica had large uptake capacity up to 202.84 mg/g under the combined effect of functional groups modified in the silica particle and the porous structure of nanomaterial. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms are followed with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, respectively. And the functional groups, charge of adsorbent were analyzed to reveal approaching mechanism. This paper provides an alternative for xanthate and other organic contaminants treatment.

The benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) and sodium butyl xanthate (SBX) mixture was used as a collector for the flotation of moderately oxidized pyrrhotite (MOP) in this work. Microflotation results revealed that the flotation recovery of MOP was not very high with the addition of individual SBX or BHA collector, but significantly improved using a mixed collector of SBA/BHA, the maximum flotation recovery of could reach 88.55%. Zeta potential measurement revealed that the surface charges of MOP were negatively moved after the addition of mixed SBX/BHA compared to adding SBX or BHA alone, revealing a much stronger interaction between the collector mixture and MOP surface, leading to the improvement of MOP floatability. The FTIR spectra analysis revealed that the synergistic effect of SBX/BHA was attributed to the interaction between BHA and MOP, which could reduce the hydrophilic Fe(OH) 3 on the pyrrhotite surface, allowing more adsorption of SBX onto the generated fresh unoxidized surfaces.

The organic solar cell active layer, well known for excellent visible light response capability, is regarded as a potential candidate for photocatalytic degradation of organic wastewater. However, the poor dispersibility in water due to its hydrophobicity property severely limited the degrading efficiency. In this work, a novel composite photocatalyst PM6:IDT8CN-M/CK2 with a broad visible absorption spectrum and non-toxicity was first synthesized through the intercalation compounding method. A good dispersibility of PM6:IDT8CN-M in wastewater was achieved with the help of rich interlamellar porosity and good hydrophilicity of calcined kaolin. This composite photocatalyst was successfully applied to the SBX photocatalytic degradation in mineral processing wastewater, and the SBX pollutants can be completely degraded within 10 min under the condition of visible light irradiation. Compared with other reported photocatalysts, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of SBX was dramatically improved by at least seven times. Moreover, PM6:IDT8CN-M/CK2 has remarkable stability, sustaining degradation efficiencies of over 90 % in 60 cycles. Notably, the organic solar cell active layer in PM6:IDT8CN-M/CK2 can achieve carrier rapid separation and transport, enhancing the generation of active oxides (∙O 2 – , and ∙OH, etc.). At the same time, the large surface area of PM6:IDT8CN-M/CK2 provides a suitable environment for the oxidation reaction of active radicals with SBX to achieve this efficient photocatalytic degradation. Overall, this work not only extends the application scope of organic solar cell active layer, but also develops a high-efficiency SBX removal technique for the treatment of mineral processing wastewater.

A key strategy for achieving the selective separation of talc and chalcopyrite is the development of chemical depressants with high solubility and strong selectivity. Tannic acid (TA), a polyphenol found in green plants and has good solubility, contains abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups. Moreover, the adsorption mechanism of TA with chalcopyrite and talc was examined after TA was chosen as the separation depressant for chalcopyrite and talc. Single-mineral flotation test results found that at optimal pH and TA and sodium butyl xanthate (SBX) dosages, the flotation recoveries of talc and chalcopyrite were 9% and 92.17%, respectively, and the difference in recovery between them was 83.17%. Results from real ores and artificially mixed minerals tests also confirmed that TA can achieve selective separation of chalcopyrite and talc. Since chalcopyrite has distinct electrochemical properties, the results of atomic force microscope and electrochemical tests demonstrated that there are significant differences in the adsorption behavior of TA on the surface of chalcopyrite and talc. And the adsorption selectivity of SBX on the chalcopyrite surface is better than that of TA on the chalcopyrite surface, which is an important reason for the selective separation of chalcopyrite and talc.

The flotation of sulfide minerals has been always a problem due to the slime coating of serpentine. In this study, phytic acid (PA) was introduced as a selective depressant to eliminate the adverse effect of serpentine on the flotation of pyrite. Micro-flotation tests showed that the flotation performance of pyrite depressed by serpentine could be regained with the addition of PA. In addition to micro-flotation tests, the action mechanism of PA was systemically investigated based on a series of analyses including zeta potential tests, adsorption measurements, turbidity studies and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. It was found that PA could chemically react with the active Mg sites and then selectively adsorb onto serpentine surface. In this case, the surface potential of serpentine was shifted from positive to negative at pH 9, thus resulting in the transformation of electrostatic interaction between pyrite and serpentine from electrostatic attraction to electrostatic repulsion. Hence, the slime coating of serpentine on pyrite surface was removed and the adsorption amount of potassium butyl xanthate (PBX) onto pyrite surface was regained. In this way, the adverse effect of serpentine on the flotation of pyrite was eliminated.

As a typical gangue mineral in many sulfide deposits, naturally hydrophobic talc needs to be depressed by adding depressants to achieve a good flotation separation. Conventional talc depressants lack selectivity , resulting in the depression of both talc and sulfide minerals . In this study, carrageenan was applied as a selective depressant for talc. The mechanism of carrageenan in the flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc when using collector sodium butyl xanthate (SBX) was investigated. Micro-flotation results showed that carrageenan can efficiently and selectively depress talc and barely influenced the flotation of chalcopyrite. The artificial mixed minerals flotation results further confirmed that carrageenan was a selective depressant for talc. A concentrate with Cu grade of 32.42 % was obtained at 91.86 % recovery from their artificial mixtures of minerals. The flotation results indicated that carrageenan exhibited stronger depressing ability than the conventional talc depressants of CMC and guar gum , suggesting it could become a promising potential depressant in the selective flotation separation of chalcopyrite from talc. Adsorption mechanism of carrageenan on the surface of talc was investigated using zeta potential measurements, adsorption measurements, FTIR measurements, XPS measurements and Langmuir adsorption model. The zeta potential measurements and adsorption measurements indicated that carrageenan selectively adsorbed on talc surface and therefore changed the zeta potentials. The FTIR results and XPS tests illustrated that the adsorption of carrageenan on talc occurred through physical interactions rather than chemical complexation. Langmuir adsorption modeling confirmed the major role of hydrophobic interaction.
