Rhodococcus opacus (R opacus) was taken as a microbe collector in a flotation experiment to investigate the recoveries of cassiterite, calcite and quartz pure minerals. The results show that, with pulp pH as 4 and R opacus dosage as 1.24 g/L, the recoveries of these three minerals were correspondingly 82.07%, 45.42% and 13.66%. The interaction mechanism between R opacus and cassiterite was investigated by measuring zeta potential and surface tension. Finally, an open-circuit flotation experiment of tin ore was carried out with R opacus as the collector and sodium silicate as the depressant, showing that the grade of tin concentrate was improved from 3.98% to 23.83%.
