Explaining surface interactions for common associated gangues of rare earth minerals in response to the oxalic acid

In the flotation of rare earth minerals (REMs), oxalic acid is reportedly acting both as a depressant and pH modifier. Although results of testing have established the significance of oxalic acid in the flotation process, its specific role in either the recovery or selectivity of REMs over their com...
