Anisotropic adsorption of oleate on diaspore and kaolinite crystals: Implications for their flotation separation

- Adsorption of OL on diaspore and kaolinite is attributed to chemisorption with Al.
- Anisotropic wettability is presented by calculation of surface broken bond.
- Anisotropic adsorption is interpreted by MD simulations.
- The conclusions drawn from MD coincide with contact angle experiments results
