Popis: An experimental investigation is presented on the recovery of cationic [dimethyl-benzyldodecylammonium bromide (DMBDA-Br)] and anionic [sodium dodecyl-benzylsulphonate (Na-DBS)] surfactants from foam separation and precipitate flotation concentrates. DMBDA-Br was recovered and reused fr m the concentrate of foam separation of perrhenates with recovery of over 90% by applying coacervation by potassium thiocyanate. Na-DBS was recovered and reused from the concentrate of precipitate flotation of copper hydroxide with recovery over 90% by applying precipitation with dodecylbenzylsulphonic acid from solution of concentrate dissolved in sulphuric acid at pH range from 1.0 to 2.5. Recovered surfactants were found efficient for subsequent flotation processes.
