Abstract
High-power nanosecond electromagnetic pulses cause changes in the chemical and phase surface composition of sulfide minerals (pyrrhotite and pentlandite) and their sorption, flotation, and chemical activities. The influence of the conditions and parameters of the electric-pulse effect on the change in the amount of elemental sulfur and iron oxide on the surface of mineral particles, as well as the concentration of iron and sulfoxide ions in the aqueous mineral suspension, has been studied. The parameters of preliminary pulsed treatment of pyrrhotite and pentlandite that lead to improvement of flotation separation of minerals have been determined.
