Abstract
Abstract A process for beneficiating celestite, barite, scheelite, fluorite, calcite, magnetite, gypsum, anhydrite, and apatite is disclosed comprising froth floating a ground pulp conditioned with gangue depressant using tetrasodium N-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)N-octadecylsulfosuccinamate as collector.
