The interaction between sulfide-ion species and smithsonite surfaces and its response to flotation performance were investigated by means of microflotation experiments, surface-adsorption tests, zeta-potential determination, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The microflotation...detailed
Copper zinc sulfide (CuZnS) is an upcoming photovoltaic material. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) study of thin films of this material synthesized using automated chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP) is reported. The PL spectra from CuZnS comprises of a broad emission constituted by multip...detailed
The interaction between sulfide-ion species and smithsonite surfaces in the absence with and without ammonia liquor was investigated. The results of zeta potential and sulfide ion adsorption indicated that NH3·H2O addition promoted the transfer of sulfur in the pulp solutions onto the smithsoni...detailed
In this study, we investigate the smithsonite surface sulfidation by zinc sulfide precipitation adsorption. Smithsonite solubility experiments indicated that the CZnT in Na2S solution (1.0 × 10−3 mol/L) was 1–2 orders of magnitude lower compared with the corresponding experiment results in dei...detailed
