[Display omitted] •WG + HEDP were firstly used as mixed depressants in magnesite flotation.•The inhibition mechanism of WG + HEDP was studied.•WG + HEDP could co-adsorb on minerals surface.•WG + HEDP could inhibit dolomite and calcite simultaneously. The decalcification of magnesite remains a diffic...
