The main depressants for separating smithsonite and calcite by flotation are inorganic and organic depressants. Inorganic depressants mainly include sodium silicate (Na 2 SiO 3) and sodium hexametaphosphate ((NaPO 3) 6) (Changgen, 1983, Liao et al., 2022).Currently, sodium silicate is the most commonly used inorganic depressant in the industry.
