A new collector for wolframite slime flotation

With aniline and salicylaldehyde as main materials, a new collector for wolframite slime was synthesized. In a pulp of natural pH value, this collector can collect wolframite effectively. Its selectivity is similar to that of benzyl arsenic acid and better than that of sodium oleate. With this collector, a wolframite rough concentrate with grade 30.12 % WO3 and recovery 91.50 %, and a concentrate with grade 58.66 % WO3 and recovery 85.00 % were obtained respectively from a wolframite ore containing 4.08 % WO3.     

Improvement of flotation behavior of Mengzi lead-silver-zinc ore by pulp potential control flotation

The electrochemical behavior of Mengzi lead-silver-zinc ore flotation system was studied. Based on the electrochemical characteristics of sulfide mineral flotation system, a stage potential control flotation was developed with the main parameters of pulp potential（φp）, pH value and collector dosage. Using N,N＇ diphenylamino-dithiolphosphoric acid（NNDDC） as a collector, which has good selectivity for galena flotation at pH 8.8 and pulp potential 330 mV, DDTC is used as secondary collector to improve both the grade and recovery of Pb and Ag. The pulp potential values significantly influence the floatability of practical minerals and single minerals when using NNDDC as the collector. The flotation recovery of galena reaches 85% at about 0.3 V and pH8.8. With the usage of pulp potential control during grinding and flotation, the new pulp electrochemical technology for Mengzi lead-silver-zinc ore flotation was developed. The results show that the grades of Pb and Ag of galena concentrate are 55% and 1 800 g/t, respectively, while the recoveries of Pb and Ag are 86.5% and 65%, respectively, the grade of Zn of marmatite concentrate is 42.5%, and the recovery of Zn is 91.25%.     

方铅矿—石灰—乙硫氮体系电化学调控浮选

运用电化学电位调控浮选理论,对方铅矿石灰乙硫氮体系进行研究。结果表明：在高碱介质中,石灰不仅仅是作为矿浆ｐＨ的调整剂,还表现出对特定的矿浆电位有很好的稳定作用,而这一特定的矿浆电位正是方铅矿的浮选电位;与黄药相比,乙硫氮是方铅矿更好的选择性捕收剂。电位调控浮选在两个矿山的生产实践表明,未加闪锌矿抑制剂,实现了铅锌铁硫化矿的有效浮选分离,其中铅精矿品位分别提高０．７３％和１．８９％,铅的回收率分别提高２．２４％和６．５８％,锌的回收率分别提高４．６３％和４．１９％,同时,两个矿山的每吨原矿药剂成本均下降１０元左右。这一研究成果使电化学调控捕收剂浮选在生产实践中成功应用迈出了一步。     

Enhancement of galena-potassium ethyl xanthate flotation system by low power ultrasound

The objective of this study is to investigate the improvement possibilities of the floatability of galena with ultrasonic application in the presence of potassium ethyl xanthate (KEX). For this purpose, micro-flotation experiments were carried out in addition to surface chemistry studies including zeta potential, contact angle, and bubble-particle attachment time measurements at various ultrasonic power levels and conditioning time. The results showed that, the maximum micro-flotation recovery of 77.5% was obtained with 30 W ultrasound power and 2 min conditioning time. In addition, more negative zeta potential values were obtained with ultrasound as well as higher contact angle and lower bubble-particle attachment time, which indicated the increased hydrophobicity of galena with ultrasound.     

Electrochemical mechanism and flotation of chalcopyrite and galena in the presence of sodium silicate and sodium sulfite

The electrochemical mechanism involved in the selective separation of chalcopyrite from galena was investigated by flotation and electrochemical methods in the presence of sodium sulfite and sodium silicate, respectively, as a single depressant and their mixture as a combined depressant. Flotation tests revealed that the floatability of chalcopyrite was unaffected by depressants and its recovery remained constant (>80%) within the studied dosage range. Galena flotation was severely depressed with descending depressing order as follows: combined depressant > sodium silicate > sodium sulfite. Electrochemical analysis confirmed the high affinity of depressants on the galena surface, resulting in the formation of hydrophilic species, such as lead sulfite, lead sulfate, and lead orthosilicate. The oxidation of chalcopyrite sutrface and depressants did not exhibit any signals; conversely, the self-oxidation of chalcopyrite was depressed. The results of cyclic voltammograms well agreed with flotation results, demonstrating that chalcopyrite primarily reacted with the collector O-isopropyl-N-ethyl thionocarbamate and that galena mostly reacted with depressants.

Recovery of molybdenum and copper from porphyry ore via iso-flotability flotation

A copper–molybdenum iso-flotability flotation process has been developed to efficiently improve the recovery of molybdenite from Duobaoshan porphyry Cu–Mo ores. The effects of flotation approach, type of collector, feed particle size distribution, rougher pH value and reagent dosage on the recovery of molybdenite were evaluated systematically. The results suggest that compared with kerosene and diesel oil, transformer oil has stronger dispersion capability in water media and better flotation selectivity for molybdenite, providing a higher molybdenum recovery under low reagent dosage. Moreover, compared with bulk flotation approach, the iso-flotability flotation approach using transformer oil as a collector can obtain superior Mo recovery (90.77%) and grade (0.80%) in the cleaner concentrate, and increase the Mo recovery and grade by over 18% and 5% in the final Mo concentrate, respectively. The results of commercial flotation further indicate that the iso-flotability flotation approach is a rational and effective route to beneficiate the porphyry Cu–Mo ores.

Mechanism and application on sulphidizing flotation of copper oxide with combined collectors

The effect of sodium butyl xanthate (NaBX) and dodecylamine (DDA) as combined collector on the sulphidizing flotation of copper oxide was investigated by flotation test, fluorescent pyrene probe, zeta potential, and infrared spectroscopy analyses. The micro-flotation results show that combined use of NaBX+DDA yields better effect than using NaBX at pH 7-11 only, and the optimal molar ratio of NaBX to DDA is 2: 1. The actual ores flotation shows that when the dosage of NaBX+DDA is (100+54) g/t, the copper concentrate grade and recovery are 15.93% and 76.73%, respectively. The fluorescent pyrene probe test demonstrates that the NaBX+DDA can reduce the micelle concentration in the pulp. The zeta potential and the infrared spectroscopy analyses indicate that chemical adsorption, hydrogen-bonding and electrostatic interaction can help to adsorb NaBX+DDA on the surface of malachite. Meantime, copper xanthate and copper-amine complexes may be generated during the adsorption process.     

Flotation performance and adsorption mechanism of novel 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)hex-2-en-1-one oxime flotation collector to malachite

A novel collector 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)hex-2-en-1-one oxime (HPHO) was synthesized from 2-hydroxy acetophenone and butyraldehyde. Its flotation performance and adsorption mechanism to malachite were investigated by flotation test, zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis techniques. Compared with benzohydroxamic acid (BA), 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one oxime (HPEO) and sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX), HPHO exhibited excellent collecting power to malachite without additional reagents, such as Na₂S regulator and methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) frother. Results of zeta potential indicated that HPHO was coated on malachite surfaces through a chemisorption process. FTIR and XPS data gave clear evidence for the formation of Cu–oxime complex on malachite surfaces after HPHO adsorption through the linkage between C=C, –OH, N–OH group and Cu species.     

基于DFT计算的肟类浮选捕收剂的构效关系（英文）

研究不同取代基的肟类化合物(R¹R²C=NOH,其中R¹/R²为烷基)的结构与其相应浮选性能之间的关系。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算结果表明,在R¹位置引入苯基可以提高捕收剂分子的酸性,而引入庚基可以有效地提高其疏水性,有利于强化范德华相互作用。同时,在R²位置引入的氨基可以提供阳离子位点,并与矿物的负电荷表面相互作用,而引入的羟基可以提供与金属离子形成稳定螯合物的额外作用位点。根据构效关系进行结构优化,筛选得到3种高效捕收剂。这3种捕收剂都具有优异的浮选分离性能,证明本文作者对肟类化合物进行结构改性的有效性。

捕收剂苯乙烯膦酸酯在钛铁矿浮选中的吸附机理（英文）

采用捕收剂苯乙烯膦酸酯(SPE)提高钛铁矿浮选效率,揭示相关作用机理并建立吸附模型。单矿物浮选试验结果表明,SPE在钛铁矿浮选中表现出比传统苯乙烯膦酸(SPA)更强的捕收能力。Zeta电位测定结果显示,SPE和SPA都能使钛铁矿的Zeta电位负向移动,而SPE的作用效果比SPA更加明显,表明SPE在钛铁矿表面的吸附更强。X射线光电子能谱分析证实了SPA和SPE在钛铁矿的Fe/Ti位点上的化学吸附作用。前沿轨道理论分析结果表明,SPE的化学活性比SPA的高。局部态密度分析结果表明,两种捕收剂的PO—H基团可与钛铁矿的Ti/Fe原子相互作用,从而在钛铁矿表面生成一个稳定的四元环。捕收剂与(104)钛铁矿表面的结合模型显示,SPE的吸附能量高于SPA的。综上所述,SPE对钛铁矿浮选的捕收能力和作用效果均优于SPA的,具有在工业上替代SPA的潜力。
