Synergistic Effect of DBP with CTAB on Flotation Separation of Quartz from Collophane

Collophane is difficult to upgrade by reverse flotation of quartz with amine collector alone due to its low grade, complex structure, fine dissemination grain size, etc. This investigation was conducted to explore the synergistic effect of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as a surfactant with cetyltrimethyl...
