Abstract
A feasibility study has been made on improving the contrast of processing properties of pyrite and arsenopyrite, irradiated by accelerated electrons, when these minerals are in the form of neutral, weakly alkaline, and alkaline aqueous suspensions. It has been shown that as a consequence of change in the surface composition, sorption species, and quantity of adsorbed xanthate and its derivatives, the contrast of flotation properties of pyrite and arsenopyrite can be increased by regulating the irradiation dose of the mineral suspension.
