Adsorption of dextrin onto sulphide minerals and its effect on the differential flotation of the Inco matte

The major constituents of the Inco matte, chalcocite (Cu2S) and heazlewoodite (Ni3S2), are separated by differential flotation with diphenylguanidine as collector. To select an effective organic depressant, many dextrins were tested and tapioca dextrin 12 was found to have an exceptional affinity to...
