The flotation tests for single and artificially mixed minerals show that SHMP is an efficient depressant in the separation of rutile ores from almandine as a possible gangue mineral. Zeta potential measurements and XPS analysis indicate that more SHMP was adsorbed on almandine surface as opposed to that of rutile.
