Popis: The results of theoretical computations on the molecular modeling of mineral–reagent interactions in a fluorite-calcite-fluorapatite–alkyl hydroxamate separation system were found to correlate remarkably well with the experimental microflotation test results. The utility of molecular modeling tools in the design/screening of surfactant molecules for flotation separations is discussed.
