Recent developments in the dressing of non-sulphide minerals of copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, tin, and fluorine were reviewed on the basis of the literature published for the past ten years.
Because of abundant pieces of research work on the flotation of those minerals, this discussion focuses mainly on flotation and related problems, namely, the flotation fundamentals, the development of flotation reagents, the modification of flotation technique in the fine particle treatment, the combined processes of flotation with the other dressing or chemical processing techniques, and so forth.
In contrast to the successful practice of sulphide mineral fltation, it is very important for the non-sulphide mineral flotation researchers and engineers to establish the principle of non-sulphide mineral flotation and to obtain a successful application of flotation to the non-sulphide separation practice.
