As a beneficiation agent, zinc sulfate heptahydrate is mainly used in the flotation process of metallic minerals. Its application scenarios include but are not limited to the following aspects:
- Lead-zinc ore beneficiation: Zinc sulfate heptahydrate can be used as an activator and regulator for lead-zinc ore, and plays a role in improving the flotation effect during the lead-zinc flotation process. It can activate the ore surface, increase the adsorption capacity of flotation agent and ore particles, and improve the recovery rate of target minerals.
- Copper ore beneficiation: Zinc sulfate heptahydrate can be used to activate copper ore and inhibit impurity minerals. By adjusting the pH value of the slurry, it can improve the flotation selectivity of copper ore, inhibit the flotation of impurity minerals, and improve the grade and recovery rate of copper ore.
- Iron ore beneficiation: Zinc sulfate heptahydrate can be used in the flotation process of iron ore, mainly acting as a regulator and inhibitor. It can adjust the pH value of the slurry, control the chemical reaction during the flotation process of iron ore, and improve the flotation effect of iron ore. At the same time, it can also inhibit impurity minerals in the ore, reduce the removal of impurities, and reduce the quality loss of iron ore.
- Tin ore beneficiation: Zinc sulfate heptahydrate can be used in the flotation process of tin ore, acting as a regulator, activator and inhibitor. It can adjust the pH value of the slurry, improve the flotation environment, and improve the flotation effect of tin ore. At the same time, it can also react chemically with the metal sulfide on the surface of tin ore, activate the tin ore, and enhance the adsorption force and selectivity between the flotation agent and the ore.
In general, zinc sulfate heptahydrate, as a beneficiation agent, plays a variety of roles such as regulator, activator, inhibitor, etc. in the flotation process of metallic minerals. It can improve the recovery rate of target minerals, reduce the content of impurity minerals, and improve mineral processing effect, thereby maximizing economic benefits.
