Interaction Between Minerals
and Reagents
As well known, mechanisms of reagents in the flotation process are very compli-
cated. Much progress on interaction between collectors and mineral surface has
been made using modern testing methods. However, there are still many problems
to be solved. There have been many books and papers related to the mechanism of
flotation reagents. Considering that the interaction mechanism of flotation reagents
is not the key content of this book and also it is difficult to clearly illustrate the
subject in one chapter, this chapter just briefly introduces a few significant theories
and the related research results to this book. And collector is mainly concerned with
this chapter. Other reagents will be introduced in the following chapters.
