The existence of metal ions should not be ignored in both hydrometallurgy and flotation. In this study, the effects of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+  and Fe 3+  on the flotation performance of cassiterite using octanohydroxamic acid (OHA) as the collector were investigated by micro-flotation tests, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, contact angle, zeta ( ζ ) potential measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging. The results of the flotation and contact angle experiments showed that the addition of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+  and Fe 3+  significantly decreased both the recovery and contact angle of cassiterite with pH ranged from 6.0 to 12.0 in the presence of OHA collector.  ζ- Potential measurements, solution chemistry analysis and FTIR measurements indicated that the flotation recovery of the cassiterite declined due to the CaOH + , MgOH +  and Fe(OH) 3  sites on the cassiterite surface. XPS results indicated that the chemisorption of OHA and calcium ions on the cassiterite surface finally changed its chemical properties. The AFM images also revealed that new species Fe(OH) 3  of Fe 3+  formed and adsorbed on the cassiterite surface at pH 9.0. The adsorption of Fe(OH) 3  reduced the adsorption of OHA on the cassiterite surface, thus the hydrophobicity of cassiterite was deteriorated.
