Conclusions
-
1.
Our results show that sulfurated azurite is floatable reasonably well not only only by xanthates, but also by dixanthides.
-
2.
Extraction of azurite increases with the length of the chain of the xanthate radical, but its flotation requires sulfuration, even when xanthates with long hydrocarbon radicals are used.
-
3.
The use of dixanthide is desirable in the case of bulk flotation when desorption from the surfaces of the minerals is necessary for selective flotation.
