What is the main role of the mediator and what is the agent? Is xanthate suitable for acidic or alkaline pulp?

The main functions of the medium regulator are: 1) adjusting the pH of the slurry; 2) adjusting the activity of other agents; 3) eliminating the effects of harmful ions; 4) adjusting the dispersion and agglomeration of the slime.

Commonly used mediators are acids, bases, sodium sulfide, and water glass. In the practice of flotation, in order to improve the alkalinity of the pulp, lime or sodium carbonate, or caustic soda or sodium sulfide are commonly used; in order to improve the acidity of the pulp, sulfuric acid is commonly used; in order to eliminate the harmful ions in the slurry, soda and sodium sulfide are commonly used; The phenomenon of agglomeration can be added with water glass, sodium carbonate or sodium sulfide.

Xanthate is easily decomposed in acidic pulp, so most of it should be carried out in alkaline pulp when flocculating ore with xanthate.
