Utilization of Phytic Acid as a Selective Depressant for Quartz Activated by Zinc Ions in Smithsonite Flotation [PDF]
It is difficult to separate smithsonite from quartz with metal ion activation through flotation using sodium oleate (NaOL) as the collector. The inevitable Zn2+ in the flotation process of zinc oxide ore makes the separation of smithsonite and quartz ...

Thermal analysis of smithsonite and hydrozincite [PDF]
Thermogravimetric analysis of synthetic smithsonite and hydrozincite, two secondary minerals of zinc, was used to determine their relative thermal stability. Thermal decomposition of smithsonite occurs at 293°C and hydrozincite at 220°C showing that the carbonate mineral is more stable than the hydroxy-carbonate mineral hydrozincite.
