As for a gold-bearing pyrite from Hebei Province, the influence of four oxidants, including H2SO4, H2O2, HNO3 and KMnO4, on its floatability was investigated, and the adsorption of collectors on pyrite was also explored by infrared (IR) analysis and electrochemistry measurement. The flotation test shows that with H2SO4, H2O2 and HNO3 as oxidants, moderate oxidation can promote the floatability of pyrite, while the oxidation of KMnO4 can obviously depress the floatability of pyrite. The IR analysis shows that the effects of these four oxidants on pyrite-collector interaction are in the following descending order: HNO3>KMnO4>H2O2>H2SO4. The oxidation of KMnO4 may passivate pyrite and reduce its floatability. Electrochemical analysis shows that H2SO4 and HNO3 have obvious oxidation effects on pyrite. By increasing oxidant concentration, the double xanthate formed on pyrite due to its reaction with xanthate will be oxidized by H2O2 solution, and the hydrophobic layer on pyrite will be destroyed, leading to the decline of pyrite's floatability.
