The mechanism of long-chain xanthate sorption on djurleite and chalcop
yrite surface was investigated. The crystal structure of metal sulphid
es, the geometry of the xanthate groups and the xanthate-metal sulphid
es interaction were taken into account. A spectacular increase in sorp
tion rate of higher xanthates on the mineral surface was observed.
