Non-ionic organic Tecflote reagents, having different-structure alkyl radicals and different numbers of functional groups,are investigated as potential flotation collectors for flotation recovery of nickel and copper. The efficiency of their action in respect to recoverable nickel and copper sulfides, is shown by the method of non-frothing flotation of the ore sample treated with chalcopyrite. The application of Tecflote reagents in the ore flotation cycle provided similar indicators for the recovery of valuable metals to those with traditional reagents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
