Abstract
This paper studies the influence of two pH modifiers, namely sodium hy droxide (NaOH) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), on the flotation of cele stite ore using sodium oleate as the collector and sodium silicate (Na 2SiO3) as the depressant. The use of Na2CO3 provides the best results for the concentration of celestite, under the same experimental condit ions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
