Abstract
The main purpose of this review is to present a new method to study the adsorption mechanism of reagents on mineral surfaces based on a microcantilever sensor system. The mechanisms of micro/nanoscale adsorption are of great significance in the interface sorting of minerals in the field of mineral processing. The sensing technique based on a microcantilever has become attractive with the advantages of label-free detection, high sensitivity, high-throughput, and fast response time. This review first discusses the structure, working principle, working modes, detection methods, and reported applications of microcantilever sensors. When combined with the working principle and applications, microcantilever sensors can monitor the adsorption process of reagents on mineral surfaces in real time. In the second part of this review, we will discuss the potential applications of microcantilever sensors in the interfacial adsorption of minerals.
