Zinc sulfate, zinc dust, and copper sulfate are used as chemical reagents in mining to separate minerals during the flotation process. Zinc sulfate and zinc dust are often used in metallurgical processes, since they are excellent copper and lead floaters, and help depress impurities, while copper sulfate is used to separate minerals such as zinc, silver, and lead.
