The single mineral flotation experiments show that the maximum differences between the floatability of pyrolusite and calcite occurring at a pH of 7.5 in the presence of DTAC is more than that of DDA. This means that DTAC acts more selectively than the DDA collector. In the microflotation experiments carried out on the artificially mixed minerals, the MnO content and recovery in the pyrolusite concentrate obtained by DDA collector is greater than that achieved by DTAC. As evidenced by ore flotation results and contact angle measurements, in the presence of both collectors, sodium carbonate acts more effective than calcium chloride as calcite depressant agents. In the ore flotation experiments, a pyrolusite concentrate containing higher MnO grade and recovery is obtained using DDA collector in comparison with DTAC. These results indicate that the collecting power of DDA is significantly more than DTAC collector. FTIR analysis and zeta potential tests show that both collectors adsorb on the surface of pyrolusite and calcite through the electrostatic interactions. Also, these analyses indicate that the adsorption of DDA on the surface of both minerals is greater and stronger than that of the DTAC collector.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract><ce:abstract xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/common/dtd" xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd" id="ab0010" class="graphical" xml:lang="en" view="all"><ce:section-title id="st0010">Graphical abstract</ce:section-title><ce:abstract-sec id="as0010" view="all"><ce:simple-para>Display Omitted</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract><ce:abstract xmlns:ce="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/common/dtd" xmlns="http://www.elsevier.com/xml/ja/dtd" id="ab0015" class="author-highlights" xml:lang="en" view="all"><ce:section-title id="st0015">Highlights</ce:section-title><ce:abstract-sec id="as0015" view="all"><ce:simple-para id="sp0090" view="all"><ce:list id="l0005"><ce:list-item id="li0005"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0005" view="all">The collecting ability of DDA is higher than that of DTAC.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0010"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0010" view="all">In the flotation of pyrolusite from calcite, DTAC acts more selectively than DDA.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0015"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0015" view="all">DDA and DTAC adsorb on the surface of both minerals through electrostatic forces.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0020"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0020" view="all">The adsorption density of DDA on the surface of both minerals is more than that of DTAC.</ce:para></ce:list-item><ce:list-item id="li0025"><ce:label>?</ce:label><ce:para id="p0025" view="all">Using depressant agent, the selectivity of flotation with DDA is greater than with DTAC.</ce:para></ce:list-item></ce:list></ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract>]]>
