he Boddington Au-Cu mine is located in the southwestern corner of the Yilgarn craton in the Western Gneiss terrane in Western Australia. The mineralization is hosted in the northern part of the Saddleback greenstone belt which includes an early sequence of basaltic to dacitic volcanic rocks and associated shallow level porphyry intrusions emplaced between ~2714-2696 Ma. After two periods of def...

In this study, a novel organic depressant maleyl 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (MATT) was synthesized and utilized as galena in the flotation separation of molybdenite galena. The results test indicated that MATT exhibited an excellent depression ability on but barely influenced pH range 6.0–11.0. Zeta potential suggested preferentially adsorbed surface. UV-visible spectroscopy analysis sto...
