Copper ions (Cu2+) are usually added to activate the sulfidized surface of zinc oxide minerals to enhance xanthate attachment using sulfidization xanthate flotation technology. The adsorption of Cu2+and xan-thate on the sulfidized surface was investigated in various systems, and its effect on the surface hydrophobicity and flotation performance was revealed by multiple analytical methods and experiments. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) characterization demonstrated that the adsorption of Cu2+ on sulfidized smithsonite surfaces increased the active Cu—S content, regardless of treatment in any activation system. The sulfidized surface pre-treated with NH4+–Cu2+created favorable conditions for the adsorption of more Cu2+, significantly enhanc-ing the smithsonite reactivity. Zeta potential determination, ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) measurements, and contact angle detection showed that xanthate was chem-ically adsorbed on the sulfidized surface, and its adsorption capacity in various systems was illustrated from qualitative and quantitative aspects. In comparison to the Na2S–Cu2+and Cu2+–Na2S–Cu2+systems, xanthate exhibited a higher adsorption capacity on sulfidized smithsonite surfaces in NH4+–Cu2+–Na2S–Cu2+ system. Hence, activation with Cu2+–NH4+ synergistic species prior to sulfidization significantly enhanced the mineral surface hydrophobicity, thereby increasing its flotation recovery.
