Abstract

The noncontact measurement of crystal surface charge and specific-designed equipment are employed to examine effect of model water systems having different physico-mechanical properties on the value and sign of charge of diamond and zirconium crystals. Experimental substantiation is given to the applicability of water electrolysis products to control surface charge of diamonds and other minerals with similar physical properties during their electric separation owing to the increased difference in the electric properties of the separated materials.
