Control of Surface Chemistry of Gold, Pyrite and Pyrrhotite

Removing pyrite from coal and pyrrhotite from pentlandite play a critical role in coal and nickel production, respectively, to meet the stringent restriction on SO2 emission. The present project investigates first the mechanism of xanthate adsorption on gold using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), the...
