Abstract:
      Due to the special physical and chemical properties of fine-grained minerals, the flotation efficiency of conventional beneficiation methods is low. Carrier flotation, as an effective flotation technology for fine-grained minerals, can significantly improve the flotation efficiency of fine-grained minerals by using suitable carriers. This paper first introduces the surface properties of fine-grained minerals, which provides a basis for selecting suitable carriers. Secondly, the basic principle of carrier flotation and the interaction mechanism between carrier and fine-grained minerals are expounded. Finally, the research and application status of micro-fine mineral carrier flotation are analyzed, and the influencing factors of carrier flotation are summarized. The characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of various carrier flotation are pointed out for the three kinds of carrier flotation, such as similar carrier, heterogeneous carrier and branch carrier, and the future development trend is prospected, aiming to provide reference for further industrial application of carrier flotation.
