Abstract
Using proprietory method, the authors have obtained flotation agent BO-extract of atomized leaves and stalks of Heracleum sosnowskyi , and analyzed its composition. Qualitative tests, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), ultraviolet spectrophotometry and flotation tests show that aqueous and organic extracts contain substances that differ in chemical and process properties. The article gives test results for aqueous, alcoholic and aqueous-alcoholic extracts BO used as modifiers in chalcopyrite and pyrite flotation. Selective properties of aqueous and aqueous-alcoholic extracts BO are characterized. The highest depression ability relative to pyrite is a characteristic of aqueous BO extract obtained at pH = 3, with heating and treatment in ultrasonic bath. Organic extracts contain mostly furocoumarins, aspic oils and resins, and have no material effect on flotation activity of pyrite.
