Sulfide hemimorphite can be depressed by Fe3+ during flotation. In this study, the depression mechanism was studied by microflotation, inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry, local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (LEIS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Flotation test results suggested that sulfated hemimorphite can be depressed by Fe3+ across the entire pH range. LEIS, adsorption analysis, and XPS indicated that S species were adsorbed on hemimorphite as ZnS. The sulfide film was attenuated and no adsorbed Fe species were found after treatment with Fe3+. The results indicate that Fe3+ reacts with the ZnS film, which decreases the number S species, and this leads to hemimorphite depression.
