Low-grade magnesite is not effectively used mainly due to high silicon content, especially the separation of magnesite and hornblende. In this research, a novel mixture of sodium oleate and dodecyl phosphate collector was used to increase the flotation difference between magnesite and hornblende. Artificially mixed mineral concentrates grade 47.10% (MgO content) concentrate recovery of 84.45% was obtained by micro flotation test, the results showed that the mixed collector of sodium oleate and dodecyl phosphate played a better selective promotion role in the flotation of magnesite. The interaction mechanism of this mixed collector with hornblende and magnesite surfaces was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which showed that the mixed collector in terms of magnesium selection was mainly adsorbed on these magnesium sites of magnesite, and the surface of magnesite thus became hydrophobic, allowing magnesite to float and separate from hornblende.

The coarse textures produced by hydration of hornblende and biotite during retrograde metamorphism of the rocks of the K?odzko-Z?oty Stok area were identified easily by both optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). However, the micro-textures that are a few unit cell in dimensions were identified through high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) only. For the alteration of biotite to chlorite the replacement of potassium in the interlayer by a brucite-like layer and the subsequent increase in volume was observed. There were, however, some missing brucite-like layers within the chlorite units. Moreover, both topotactic and low angle replacement of biotite to chlorite were identified. For the direct hydration of hornblende to chlorite, HRTEM and selected area electron diffraction pattern (SAED) showed that the c* and a* of chlorite were parallel to the b* and a* of hornblende, respectively. Nevertheless, other orientation relationships were also observed by optical microscopy.
