Abstract

Rice husk-based flotation reagent was produced as alternative of modern expensive universal flotation reagents. Its collective properties were estimated in a comparison with modern collector named TM 067 Danafloat. It was determined that the collector consisting of 50% of TM 067 Danafloat and 50% of the new flotation reagent allows increasing the content of the lead to 0.20% in the lead concentrate and zinc to 0.38% in the zinc concentrate during the increase of metal recovery. The use of the new flotation agent even in the composition with TM 067 Danafloat will lead to a significant economic effect taking into account the ratio of their cost and the productivity of the concentrated factory.
