Application of Starch Products in Mineral Processing

As a natural polymer compound, starch has the characteristics of green non-toxic, wide source, low cost and easy modification. In recent years, with the strengthen of environmental protection, the application of starch products in mineral processing has attracted more and more attention of researchers. In this paper, the application of starch products in mineral processing was elaborated. The typical application of starch products as inhibitors and flocculants in mineral processing was emphatically introduced, and the development direction of starch products in mineral processing was prospected to provide the reference for the efficient utilization of starch.
