Based on the first-principles of density functional theory, quantum chemical calculations were performed using the CASTEP module of Materials Studio (MS) software to simulate and optimize the crystal structure, cleavage surface, and adsorption models of magnesite and hornblende in adsorption with reagents. On this basis, the band structure and density of states of magnesite and hornblende were analyzed. The adsorption energies of dodecylamine and the novel collector KDLX on the magnesite (104) and amphibole (110) surfaces were obtained, respectively. The results show that the band gap widths of magnesite and hornblende are 4.920 eV and 3.962 eV. The optimized crystal structure has a better stability. The ammonium hydrogen atoms in dodecylamine and KDLX undergo hydrogen bonding and physical adsorption with the oxygen atoms of minerals. Compared with dodecylamine, KDLX has a stronger adsorption capacity for hornblende and it is predicted that the collector can be used for flotation removal of silica-containing gangue minerals in magnesite ore. This study has revealed the surface characteristics of minerals and the adsorption mechanism of reagents, which has a guiding significance for the flotation separation of magnesite and hornblende and the selection of flotation reagents.
