摘要
The present study reports on the relationship between adsorption of Mycobacterium phlei onto hematite and flotation of the mineral. From light and scanning electron microscopy, contact angle and electrophoretic mobility observations it was found that M. phlei is more negatively charged than hematite, that it readily accumulates onto the mineral and that it functions as a flotation collector for the mineral with optimum flotation taking place at about pH 2.5.
