The results showed that the recovery of cassiterite of size -0.020 +0.005 mm was 92.50% when pH=8, the dosage of sodium oleate was 80 mg/L. When pH=8, the optimal dosage of citric acid, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, calcium lignosulphonate and starch was 20 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 20 mg/L, 80 mg/L, respectively, and accordingly the recovery of cassiterite was reduced by 17.92 percent, 24.44 percent, 10.65 percent and 32.42 percent, respectively. It is investigated by solution chemistry analysis，zeta potential and contact angle measurements that the water repulsion imparted to the cassiterite surface is due to the chemical absorption of the oleic collector onto the cassiterite surface mainly and the floatability of cassiterite was increased significantly; citric acid chelated on the cassiterite surfaces and accelerated the formation of wetting films, furthermore, the adsorbed citric acid which replaced oleic acid could fill parts of the bonding sites to hinder the adsorption of sodium oleate onto cassiterite surfaces.
