Abstract

In this paper the writer describes the effects of the imperfection of crystals of sphalerite, pyrrhotite and pyrite on their natural floatability and wettability.a. The natural floatability of sphalerite decreases with the increase of lattice constant and Fe content.b. The wettability and the magnetism of pyrrhotite have a positive correlation to each other.c. The wettability and the absolute value of the thermoelectric potential of pyrite have a positive correlation to each other.d. According to the articles a, b and c mentioned above, the natural floatability and the wettability of minerals were ascertained to be very much affected by the internal structure of their own crystals and the imperfection of crystals would have a part of much importance.
