Abstract
Principles of tribochemical treatment of minerals have been developed to control the mineral flotation ability. It is found that floatability of quartz depends on the quartz electronic structure. Using feldspathic-quartz ore as an example, the author illustrate the improvement in separability of the minerals and ecological friendliness of the tribochemical treatment.
