“…Besides, these other collectors, such as an ion-tolerance collector AESNa (Liu et al, 2021), dodecyl phosphate (Chen and Tao, 2004) and DDA (Yao et al, 2016) as well as fatty acid (Matis et al,2016), have also drawn considerable attention for introducing reverse flotation for magnesite. Flotation with mixed collector, including NaOL (Matis and Gallios, 1989;Sun et al, 2020) and bis(2hydroxyethyl)dodecylamine (BHDA) , has not obtained efficient separation as those with the pure minerals. Despite modifiers, including sodium hexametaphosphate (SH), sodium pyrophosphate (Matis et al, 1988;Matis and Gallios, 1989;Sun et al, 2020;Luo et al, 2017), sodium silicate, and calcon (Matis and Gallios, 1989) were introduced, relative to pure mineral flotation, the little floatability distinction still manifested a challenging separation between the two minerals in a lab test.…”
