The Inadvertent Activation of Silicate Minerals Flotation and Their Depression in Molybdenite Beneficiation
The Wushan Operation has been studied as a case study, particularly relevant to the copper-molybdenum separation circuit, in which efforts have been made to improve the quality of the molybdenum concentrate through diagnostic analysis. A key finding has been the appearance of coarser silicate minera...
