Grinding with steel media adversely affects the flotation response of galena. Electrochemical measurements, flotation tests, and examinations were employed to identify interactions between galena and mild steel. Iron oxide, hydroxide, or sulfate species that formed on the galena surface upon contact with mild steel decreased its floatability, with the time of contact and aeration …

Galena and pyrite have semiconducting properties, and the galvanic interaction between them will occur when they come into contact with the flotation pulp. The galvanic interaction promoted the surface oxidation of galena and Pb 2+ dissolution, which activated pyrite and made the separation of lead and sulfur difficult. Therefore, it is ...

These various oxidation products of galena are hydrophilic and since they are located on the galena surface, can depress galena flotation, depending upon the quantity …
A similar effect was previously reported where the presence of ordinary Portland cement at pH 11.7 leads to galena depression [] however the authors do not consider the potential of the pulp.Figure 6 shows the pH record during the conditioning of the flotation pulp in the presence of 720 mg/L of OPC. This gives an alkaline character to the pulp pH of 11.0, …

Even though sulfide minerals with fresh surfaces may easily float and/or rapid oxidation on their surfaces may prevent flotation (i.e. galena), the hydrophobicity is mostly …
The paper is about the froth flotation process and its application. It is a metallurgical process for the extraction of metals in a pure state from their ores: especially for sulfide ores.
the galena as the anode. The flotation recovery of galena in a mixture of galena and pyrite decreased in comparison to flotation of individual mineral particles. The zeta potential of galena changed significantly, while that of pyrite increased when two minerals were mixed together. Therefore, interaction of galena with pyrite in flotation
The development of galena flotation inhibitors is a key focus and challenge in the flotation of polymetallic sulfide ores. In this paper, H 2 SO 4 was used to modify the galena surface and to reduce its surface hydrophobicity, and the modification mechanism of the galena surface was studied through microflotation experiments, contact angle determination and X …

3.1. Effect of pH value level on the flotation of chalcopy-rite and galena The flotation results of galena and chalcopyrite as a func-tion of pH value (pH 2–12) in the presence and absence of FCLS are shown in Fig. 1. The experimental results show that galena and chalcopyrite floated well at pH 2–10 in the absence of FCLS.
Lime galena, especially galena with a slightly oxidized surface, has an inhibitory effect. Therefore, when flotation of galena from polymetallic sulfide ores, sodium carbonate is often used to adjust the pH of the pulp. If the pH of the slurry must be adjusted with lime due to the high pyrite content, the amount of lime should be controlled.
The main contributing factors are as follows: (1) Chalcopyrite and galena commonly occur symbiotically in sulfide ores, exhibiting a complex ore structure. (2) Chalcopyrite and galena have similar floatable properties. (3) During flotation, free copper ions present in the pulp system exhibit significant activation effects on galena.
