The micro-flotation findings indicated that for the artificial mixture of pyrite and serpentine (2:1 mass ratio), 1.0 × 10<sup>–4</sup> mol/L sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX) only floated out ∼22 % pyrite at pH ∼9.0, while, after extra addition of 70 mg/L SLS, the floatability of pyrite was restored and its recovery reached ∼90 %. <em>In situ</em> AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), contact angle, zeta potential, fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and optical microscope deduced that the strong affinity of SIBX to pyrite rendered it replace the most part of the pre-aggregated SLS from pyrite surface, thus to restore the hydrophobicity of pyrite and further decrease the zeta potential. In addition, SLS attached on the positively-charged Mg sites of serpentine through its carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups reduce the hydrophobicity and zeta potential of serpentine. While, the hard base O atom/anion exhibited much stronger affinity to hard acid Mg cation than that of the soft base S atom/anion, SIBX hardly replaced the adsorbed SLS from serpentine surface.
