4 Factors Affecting Barite Flotation | Mining Pedia
In barite flotation, the addition of metal cations can expand the pH range of mineral flotation and play an activating or inhibiting role. Aluminum sulfate is an effective inhibitor of barite. When the pH of the slurry is 4.5~7.5, aluminum sulfate has a strong inhibitory effect on barite, while fluorite can still maintain good floatability.
