Advances in Flotation of Copper Lead and Zinc Minerals

<p><span style=color: rgba(23 43 77 1)>This Special Issue Advances in Flotation of Copper Lead and Zinc Minerals presents recent developments in the flotation of non-ferrous base metals addressing the key challenges posed by increasingly complex and lower-grade ores. The ten research contributions compiled here span from the molecular-level design of novel flotation reagents-such as selective collectors and depressants-to the understanding of interfacial mechanisms through advanced analytical and computational tools. The topics include the role of metal ions the effects of pH reagent synergy flotation hydrodynamics and ore-specific process design. The studies also integrate process mineralogy with flowsheet optimization for challenging ore types. This reprint offers valuable insights into sustainable efficient and selective flotation strategies for Cu-Pb-Zn systems reflecting the convergence of fundamental science and industrial applications.</span></p>
