The results show that the anosovite crystal contains magnesium, and its chemical composition is Mg 0.09 Ti 2.91 O 5 . The chemical bonds on the anosovite surface mainly comprise Ti-O bonds. Micro-flotation tests indicate that anosovite has better floatability at a wide pH range and the recovery reaches 88% at pH=6, when the dosage of sodium oleate is only 4·10−6 mol/dm 3 . The point of zero charge of anosovite was determined near pH 3.2 by the zeta potential measurement. In the flotation process, chemical adsorption occurs between the carboxyl of sodium oleate and the titanium sites on the anosovite surface. %A Wang, Yijie %A Wen, Shuming %A Zhang, Junhui %A Wu, Dandan %A Xian, Yongjun %A Shen, Haiying %P 714-723 %R 10.5277/ppmp170203 %U https://doi.org/10.5277/ppmp170203
