The application provides application of white birch acid in
calcite inhibition. The molecular structure of the white birch acid contains functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl and carbon six-membered ring, which are hydrophilic groups and solidophilic groups, have strong adsorption on
calcite, make the white birch acid easy to be adsorbed with the
calcite, and are not easy to be adsorbed with the
fluorite ore. The excellent selectivity expands the floatability difference between the calcite and the
fluorite ore, so that the selectivity of the
fluorite ore flotation method based on the white birch acid is excellent, and the flotation effect is good. Compared with the existing inhibitors such as water glass, the white birch acid has stronger selectivity when used as the fluorite ore flotation inhibitor, and can obtain better flotation effect under the condition of smaller dosage, and the white birch acid is non-toxic and has small environmental
pollution.
