By performing settling rate test, turbidity test, zeta potential measurements, solution chemistry study and extended DLVO theoretical analysis, the mechanism for sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) to disperse ultrafine potassium feldspar and hematite was investigated. It is shown that, Nam (PO3)nm-n (m<n) anions derived from SHMP ionization can wrap around mineral grains in a form of spiral long-chain polymers, forming thick hydrophilic macromolecule protective films. Meanwhile, HPO42-formed by hydrolysis can be adsorbed onto ore grains, leading to decrease of the surface potential and increase of the interparticle electrostatic and steric repulsions. In this case, mineral particles need to overcome a higher potential barrier to reach a stable condensed state. Therewith, the non-selective agglomeration of ore particles weakens, resulting in a significant improvement in dispersion stability.
