عرض المزيدNickel recovery and grade were increased by 2.7% and 2.1% respectively, after adding the second dose of the depressant after 1 minute into the flotation test. The results indicated that the fast floating MgO can depress the valuable mineral if the depressing effect of the depressant is short-lived, which in turn leads to reduced nickel recoveries.
