The Depression and Adsorption Mechanism of Polyglutamic Acid on Chalcopyrite and Pyrrhotite Flotation Systems

The rejection of pyrrhotite and pyrite has become a long-standing problem in the copper ore industry. This paper describes the first successful depression and adsorption mechanism of a novel and non-hazardous reagent, polyglutamic acid (PGA), on pyrrhotite in the selective flotation of chalcopyrite...
