Microorganisms, bacteria, fungi and/or their metabolic products have been used as biorreagents in mineral processing. A hydrophobic microorganism should render a hydrophilic mineral surface somewhat hydrophobic if these attach to the mineral. It’s the case of the Rhodococcus Opacus strain, which hydrophobic behavior was proved in others works. In this work, we studied the electrophoretic behavior and the microflotation response of the apatite-quartz system after interaction with bacterial cells. The zeta potential results showed a change in the profile of the minerals after the bacterial interaction, this change was more significant in apatite than in quartz. These results also suggest that the bacterial adhesion in the minerals surface was not for electrostatic interactions. It was observed that the bacterial reduced the interfacial tension from air/water from 70 mN/m to 54 mN/m, 55 mN/m and 56 mN/m for suspensions with values of pH 3, 5 and 7 respectively, values where the higher quantity of foam was formed. The higher flotabilities of all minerals used was recorded in pH 5. The green apatite flotability achieved a value around 90 per cent with 150 mg.L-1 of bacterial after 5 minutes of flotation, while the blue apatite needed 200 mg.L-1 of the bacterial to achieve the same flotability under the same experimental conditions. On the other hand, the quartz flotability had a value around 13 per cent, with 150 mg.L-1 of bacteria and after 5 minutes of flotation. The bacterial adaptation to mineral substrate revealed a change in the bacterial behavior during the flotation process; it was observed a higher apatite flotability in pH 3 after the adaptation of the bacterial to apatite as substrate. The quartz flotability also showed a small increase in all the pH range studied. The mineral flotability followed the first order kinetics model, the rate constants (K) for the blue apatite flotability underwent a reduction with small particles size, changing from 0,429 (min-1) to 0,198 (min-1) when the particle size was altered from (106 – 150) um to (38 – 75)um, while the rate constants for the green apatite flotability changed from 0,518 (min-1) to 0,295 (min-1). Finally the rate constants of the quartz flotability suffer an increased from 0,016 min-1 to 0,11 min-1. The fundamental electroforetic and flotation studies together to the Scanning electron microscopy showed a selectivity bioflotation in the apatite-quartz system, demonstrating in this way the potential that Rhodococcus opacus as a biocollector and its possible application in phosphate flotation industry.
