Abstract

Microflotation tests, electrokinetic and electrochemical measurements were carried out to investigate the flotation behavior of pyrite samples taken from different regions of Turkey. Chemical analyses and mineralogical examinations showed that these pyrite samples have different impurities and structural properties. The flotation characteristics of pyrites using ethyl xanthate were similar. Zeta potential measurements were carried out to investigate the effects of pH, conditioning time and collector addition on the flotation of pyrites. Electrochemical measurements were conducted to ...
