Steric Hindrance-Controlled Selective Adsorption of Amine Surfactants: The Crucial Role of Cation Vacancies on Aluminosilicate Mineral Surface

Abstract Selectively regulating feldspar surface hydrophobicity remains a key challenge for the flotation separation of quartz from feldspar. This challenge is closely related to its heterogeneous surface chemistry and the limited understanding of how cation leaching affects coll...
