Abstract

AbstractIn coordination chemistry, the field of ligands leads to the splitting of metal d orbitals, with electrons redistributed into the split d orbitals. The energy drop generated by electron rearrangement is called crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE), which plays a crucial role in the stability of complexes. In addition, the value of CFSE generally ranges from tens to hundreds of kJ/mol, which is in the scope of the adsorption energy of flotation reagents on mineral surfaces. Hence, CFSE will greatly influence the adsorption and desorption of flotation reagents. This chapter discusses the effect of CFSE on the adsorption of reagents on mineral surfaces.
