Abstract
In this paper, the flotation separation of cerussite and quartz under different experimental conditions was studied by using phenylpropenyl hydroxamic acid (PHA) as a collector. The flotation performance of PHA was studied through experiments involving pure minerals and artificial mixed minerals, and the results showed that PHA has good selectivity and collecting ability for cerussite. The adsorption mechanism of the collector on the surface of cerussite was investigated via adsorption capacity experiments, zeta potential tests, FTIR spectroscopy, and XPS analysis. The adsorption capacity results showed that PHA can be well adsorbed on the surface of cerussite. The results of the zeta potential tests showed that PHA has strong chemical adsorption on the cerussite surface. FTIR and XPS analysis showed that PHA may form a Pb–PHA complex on the cerussite surface to improve the floatability of cerussite.
