Research Progress of Collector for Copper Ore Flotation
In order to understand the structure and properties of collectors and develop new copper col-lectors,based on the existing forms and action mechanisms of ionic collectors,nonionic collectors and com-bined collectors in pulp,the current research and development and application status of copper collectors are summarized.The action mechanisms of different reagents,as well as advanced detection techniques such as atomic force microscopy(AFM),density functional theory(DFT)and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry(TOF-SIMS)in the exploration of action mechanisms are described in detail.At the same time,the future development trend of collector in industrial application is put forward to provide theo-retical basis and technical guidance for improving the flotation efficiency of copper ore.
