Abstract
Mechanical activation during grinding affects the flotability of pyrite, ar senopyrite, and galena. It is established that the S, Fe, and As atoms at t he surfaces of the initial materials are mainly in the oxidized state. The transformations occurring on the surfaces of mechanically activated sulfide minerals are the cause of the changes in flotability.
