Abstract
Starch xanthate and polycations in heavy metal precipitation is studied to reduce the high doses of the expensive polycation required. Hypotheses on the two system mechanisms: i.e. metal + polycation + xanthate, and metal + xanthate + polycation, and the influences of pH and ionic strength are discussed in detail for copper and mercury.
