The Effect of a Humate Reagent and Sodium Oleate on the Wettability of Fluorite, Calcite, and Quartz

Аннотация

The effect of a humate reagent obtained from oxidized brown coal and sodium oleate on the wettability of minerals present in the composition of fluorite ores such as fluorite, calcite, and quartz is studied. It is shown that, in the case of successive treatment of fluorite and calcite with a humate reagent and sodium oleate, the difference in the wettability of the minerals significantly increases, which promotes the selection of these minerals during flotation.
