Xanthate Sorption and Floatability of Sphalerite

AFM Force Measurement for Activated Sphalerite-Xanthate Interactions

Electrochemistry of Copper Activation of Sphalerite and Potassium Isobutyl Xanthate (KIBX) Synthesized Collectors Adsorption

Improving Flotation of Sphalerite - Effect of pH and Activating Potential on the Kinetics of Copper Uptake and Xanthate Adsorption on Sphalerite

The effect of pH and electrochemical potential on copper uptake, xanthate adsorption and the hydrophobicity of sphalerite were studied from flotation practice point of view using electrochemical and micro-flotation techniques. Voltammetric studies conducted using the combination of carbon matrix composite (CMC) electrode and surface conduction (SC) electrode show that the kinetics of activation...

An insight into effect of surface functional groups on reactivity of Sphalerite (110) surface with Xanthate collector: a DFT study

The reactivity of the protonated and hydroxylated sphalerite (1 1 0) surface with xanthate was simulated using the density functional theory (DFT). The difference between the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the sphalerite surface and the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital of xanthate (  was used to compare the reaction capability of xanthate with fresh and fun...

Ferromagnetism in sphalerite and wurtzite CdS nanostructures

Room-temperature ferromagnetism is observed in undoped sphalerite and wurtzite CdS nanostructures which are synthesized by hydrothermal methods. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy results indicate that the sphalerite CdS samples show a spherical-like shape and the wurtzite CdS ones show a flower-like shape, both of which are aggregated by lots of smaller particles...
