Study On Surface Properties Of Dolomite Associated In Phosphate Rock

This paper, by studying the surface properties of pure dolomite minerals separated from representative marine sedimentary rare earth-bearing phosphate ores in Zhijin, Guizhou, aims to study the effect of different anions on the ? potential of dolomite. The research findings showed that the dolomite mineral had a point of zero charge (PZC) at pH 6.5, and the PZC shifted towards lower pH values with addition of anion SiO32- and PO43-. However, addition of anion CO32- and F- resulted in higher PZC values. Keywords: dolomite, ? potential, PZC, anion
