Abstract: Flotation is a complex physical and chemical process, the physical and chemical properties of mineral surface and pulp properties are the decisive factors affecting flotation. The addition of grinding aids in the grinding process can improve the grinding efficiency, which is conducive to energy saving, but the addition of grinding aids changes the physical and chemical properties of mineral surface and pulp properties, so it will have different effects on the subsequent flotation process. Grindingaids can have important effects on mineral particle size, surface properties (crystal structure, surface morphology, surface potential and surface energy, etc.) and pulp properties (viscosity and pH, etc.). From the perspective of flotation dynamics, the above factors affected by grinding aids will eventually change the collision and adhesion probability of mineral particles on the surface of bubbles, and its mechanism needs to be further studied. Based on the existing literature, this paper reviews the latest research progress of the effect of grinding aids on mineral flotation and flotation kinetics and its mechanism, in order to provide research basis for the application of grinding aids in grinding and the improvement of flotation process.
