GALVANIC COUPLES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON ORIGINPOTENTIAL FLOTATION SYSTEMS OF SULFIDE MINERALS

The galvanic couples formed in originpotential flotation systems of sulfide minerals could be divided into three types:sulfide mineral sulfide mineral water system;sulfide mineral steel ball water system;and sulfide mineral sulfide mineral collector system.In this article,taking lead,zinc,iron sulfide mineral systems as examples,models of galvanic couples are showed and the effecets of galvanic couples on flotation are discussed.
