The recovery of scheelite from calcium-bearing carbonate ores by foam flotation is challenging due to its low separation efficiency. This study investigated the effect of pentasodium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (PD) on the surface properties of scheelite and fluorite. For this purpose, we performed micro-flotation tests and carried out zeta potential measurements, as well as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopic measurements, in order to analyze the surface properties of these minerals. The addition of PD as a novel depressor significantly improved the effect of fluorite and sodium oleate (NaOl) on the flotation-based scheelite recovery and separation from fluorite. PD was spontaneously adsorbed onto fluorite through electrostatic and chemical adsorption. By contrast, PD did not appear on the scheelite because of the reaction conditions, surface site, and steric hindrance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and a solution chemistry analysis were used for the determination of the PD-selective adsorption mechanism and key factors derived from multi-layer adsorption onto fluorite, which completely hindered that of NaOl. |
