Studies on the flotation depression of chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite by thioglycollic acid

Thioglycollic acid (TGA) was found to exhibit strong depressive action on chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite samples. This depressive action resembled hydrosulphide in that the contact curve of TGA was very similar to that of sodium sulphide. An adsorption model was proposed based on the experiment...
