Kaolinite covered much larger area of pyrite surface than montmorillonite owing to the positive charge occurring at the exposed aluminum-oxygen octahedral sheet of kaolinite. Although illite has a similar 21 structure to montmorillonite, it showed little or no effect on pyrite flotation, which was attributed to its poor swelling nature. These findings shed light on the root cause of the adverse effect of clay minerals on pyrite flotation and are expected to provide theoretical guidance for mitigating the negative effects on flotatio
