Coordination Principle of Minerals Flotation | SpringerLink
For the first time, the influence is unveiled of mineral crystal structures and surrounding atoms on metal ion properties and further on mineral-reagent interactions. The introduction of classical theories for modern chemistry, including orbital structure, electron spin and orbital symmetry matching, into flotation is realized.

Choosing mineral flotation collectors from large nanoparticle libraries
A secondary goal was to demonstrate a high throughput strategy for designing nanoparticle flotation collectors. As a first step, herein we focus on two of the properties – colloid stability and hydrophobicity. These are a generic requirement for all mineral flotation operations, whereas mineral affinity is specific to the mineral type.

Anionic Collector | SpringerLink
Anionic collector is a type of collector whose polar functional group that reacts with the mineral is negative ion. In flotation pulp, the anionic functional group of anionic collector reacts with the mineral surface and the hydrophobic group faces outward, so that the surface of mineral particles becomes hydrophobic to realize flotation of minerals.
