3-Mercaptopropionic/3-Mercaptoisobutyric Acids Used as Novel Selective Depressants for Improved Flotation of Chalcopyrite from Galena

3-Mercaptopropionic/3-Mercaptoisobutyric Acids Used as Novel Selective Depressants for Improved Flotation of Chalcopyrite from Galena

The selective separation of chalcopyrite from galena (lead sulfide) through the flotation method is still a challenging task in the field of mineral engineering. Mercaptoacetic acid, though a common depressant of many gangue (commercially worthless) minerals, has shown to be less selective in the fl...
