Abstract: A novel reagent blend and a method by which a fatty acid collector can be used at temperatures below which the fatty acid normally begins to solidify. The reagent blend may comprise fatty acid, an emulsifying reagent, and glycol ether. The emulsifying reagent may comprise 5% of the reagent blend, while the glycol ether may comprise 1% of the reagent blend. The reagent blend may be used for mineral flotation without the addition of heat.
