다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In order to select the proper collector for the flotation of malachite, we had floated malachite by using various collectors. When measuring the zeta potential of malachite, we knew that the point of zero charge of malachite is found at pH 8.2 and malachite particles are negatively charged above this pH value; and positively, below this pH value. The floatability of malachite by the anionic collectors like sodium oleate and Aeropromoter 845, was about 97% in pH 5~11 range, whereas that of malachite by alkyl hydroxamate and the cationic collector like dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride and dodecyl ethyl methyl ammonium chloride, was below 15% above pH 5 regardless of dosage increase of collector and flotation time. The malachite sulphidised by $(NH_4)_2S$ was floated above 97% by potassium amyl xanthate. The dosage of potassium amyl xanthate decreased and the flotation period shortened to one third than when it was not sulphidised by $(NH_4)_2S$. Therefore, potassium amyl xanthate and the anionic collectors like sodium oleate and Aeropromoter 845 can be used as the collector of malachite.
