Electronic structure and flotation behavior of Ag-bearing galena

The effect of composition changes on the structure and electronic properties of jamesonite: a DFT study

“…6 Lan et al found that galena containing Ag can improve its otation recovery, and it is benecial to the adsorption of collector ions on galena with the increase of silver content. 7,8 The otation of a mineral is closely related to its surface chemical properties. Most studies have shown that the crystal structure and the ligand atoms reect the basic nature of the minerals, and affect the interaction of the reagents with the mineral surface in the otation process, which may be critical in the mineral otation.…”
