Study on Effect of Lizardite Crystal Chemistry on Surface Properties and Flotability

Lizardite was as the research mineral in the paper, and the surface properties of lizardite and magnesium in the surface properties of the solution and the the natural flotability of lizardite were studied. The surface of lizardite easily produced unsaturated groups, and lizardite in the slurry can be generated in the Mg2+, MgOH+, H3SiO3-, H2SiO42-, H6Si2O42- ions and acid molecules and Mg(OH)2 precipitation, that result in the high PZC of lizardite, and the natural flotability of lizardite was poor in sodium oleate and DDA flotation system.
