Utilization of soluble starch as a depressant for the reverse flotation of diaspore from kaolinite

The utilization of a non-toxic natural polysaccharide, soluble starch, in the flotation of diaspore and kaolinite with emphasis on depression of diaspore in the reverse flotation of bauxite ores by using a Gemini cationic collector, is reported in this work. Firstly, the depressant effect of soluble starch was studied by pure mineral micro-flotation of diaspore and kaolinite as functions of the depressant dosage and pulp pH. The results show that soluble starch depresses diaspore much better than kaolinite. When pH is over 10, a satisfactory separation of the alumina and the silicate minerals can be approached. Moreover, micro-flotation tests of artificial mixed minerals and bench scale reverse flotation of the diasporic bauxite ore was complementing conducted. The non-charged starch is highly proved to be an effective and selective depressant for the reverse flotation of diaspore from the gangue minerals like kaolinite. By zeta potential measurement, adsorption studies and D-IR spectra analysis, the mechanism of interaction between starch and the diaspore surfaces is established, which is the formation of a five membered ring complexes on mineral substrates. The number of broken Al–O bonds of diaspore is much more than that of kaolinite, so the selectivity separation of diaspore from kaolinite in this system is feasible.     

新型阳离子有机硅QAS222对铝硅矿物浮选行为的研究

考察了自行合成的新型有机硅阳离子表面活性剂QAS222对一水硬铝石、高岭石、叶蜡石和伊利石等4种铝硅矿物的浮选行为,并以其为铝硅酸盐矿物的捕收剂,进行了不同铝硅比的人工混合矿反浮选分离脱硅试验研究。试验研究结果表明,新型阳离子有机硅季铵盐类化合物是铝土矿反浮选脱硅的有效捕收剂;酸性条件下QAS222对一水硬铝石、高岭石、叶腊石和伊利石表现较好的捕收力,但此时反浮选分离趋势不明显;而在碱性条件下,以QAS222为捕收剂,随着矿浆pH值的上升,4种矿物的可浮性出现了不同程度的减低,尤其是当矿浆pH9后,一水硬铝石的上浮率骤减,铝硅矿物之间表现出了良好的反浮选分离趋势;在矿浆pH值为11时,以QAS222为捕收剂,不添加其它任何抑制剂,成功地实现不同铝硅比的人工混合矿的反浮选脱硅,并获得较好的选别指标——当给矿A/S仅有2.7时,仍能获得精矿A/S为12.82,其中Al2O3品位77.79%、回收率69.91%的较好指标,且当给矿A/S不断增大时,精矿中的A/S,Al2O3的品位和回收率都有所提高。

为了研究季铵盐类捕收剂对铝土矿反浮选的影响,以十二胺（DDA）为参照捕收剂,考察了十六烷基三甲基溴化铵（CTAB）对一水硬铝石和高岭石浮选回收率的影响,并通过FTIR分析、Zeta电位检测、吸 附量测定以及分子动力学模拟对作用机理进行了系统的分析。浮选试验结果表明,CTAB浮选分离效果优于DDA,在pH=4、CTAB浓度为2×10-4 mol/L时,纯矿物浮选试验一水硬铝石和高岭石浮选回收率相差51.70个百分 点,人工混合矿试验获得了Al2O3品位71.73%、回收率71.26%、SiO2含量9.43%的精矿,铝硅比A/S达到7.60。机理分析结果表明,捕收剂CTAB在一水硬铝石和高岭石表面均有吸附,在高岭石表面的吸附量大于在一水硬 铝石表面的吸附量,且均为物理吸附;分子动力学模拟计算结果表明捕收剂CTAB与高岭石总相互作用能为与一水硬铝石总相互作用能的2.29倍,因此CTAB分子优先吸附于高岭石的表面,具有较高的选择性,有利于反 浮选的进行。     

新型螯合剂对一水硬铝石和铝硅酸盐矿物浮选行为的研究

合成了含有羧基和肟基的新型螯合捕收剂HCMT并研究其对一水硬铝石、高岭石和伊利石的浮选行为。单矿物浮选试验表明,该捕收剂对一水硬铝石、铝硅酸盐矿物的捕收能力差别较大,能有效分离一水硬铝石与铝硅酸盐矿物。通过动电位、红外光谱和电镜扫描(SEM)等研究了捕收剂对矿物的吸附机理,结果表明捕收剂在一水硬铝石表面可能是通过COOH、-NHOH与Al-O形成双环螯合物的化学吸附,而在高岭石、伊利石表面主要是物理吸附。     

A novel surfactant 2-amino-6-decanamidohexanoic acid: Flotation performance and adsorption mechanism to diaspore

In this paper, a novel surfactant, 2-amino-6-decanamidohexanoic acid (AHA-10) was synthesized and used as a collector for flotation separation of diaspore and aluminosilicate minerals. The adsorption mechanism of AHA-10 onto diaspore was also evaluated by FTIR spectra, zeta potential, XPS and solution chemistry. The flotation results demonstrated that AHA-10 exhibited superior collecting power to diaspore and good selectivity against kaolinite and illite, and could effectively recover diaspore from bauxite ores contained aluminosilicate minerals at pH around 10. The analyses of FTIR spectra, zeta potential and solution chemistry inferred that at pH around 10, AHA-10 might chemisorb on diaspore surfaces by formation of AlO and AlN bonds. AHA-10’s unique properties, such as characteristic bond model to Al atoms on diaspore surfaces, double hydrophobic groups and intermolecular hydrogen bonds between neighboring AHA-10 molecules coated on diaspore surfaces, rendering a weakening surface energy and enhancing hydrophobicity of diaspore particles.

氧肟酸高分子药剂在铝土矿反浮选中的作用

通过浮选试验，研究了氧肟酸淀粉和氧肟酸聚丙烯酰胺两种高分子药剂对铝土矿中一水硬铝石和高岭石浮选行为的影响。结果表明：氧肟酸淀粉在酸性条件下对一水硬铝石有较强的抑制作用，而对高岭石有活化现象；氧肟酸聚丙烯酰胺在整个试验pH值范围内对两种矿物均有活化作用。两种大分子药剂属于阴离子型，动电位测定结果表明，它们在带负电的高岭石、一水硬铝石表面吸附，使其动电位负性增加，表明药剂与矿物存在氢键力或化学作用力。由于在一水硬铝石表面，氧肟酸淀粉可以罩盖捕收剂十二胺，增加矿物表面的亲水性，从而对其产生抑制作用。而线型氧肟酸聚丙烯酰胺在矿物表面为卧式吸附，其分子链上的负电区能够增加阳离子捕收剂的吸附量，从而活化了一水硬铝石的浮选。     

The point of zero charge of phyllosilicate minerals using the Mular–Roberts titration technique

The point of zero charge (PZC) of electrokinetically anisotropic minerals (chlorite and serpentine) was determined using the Mular–Roberts (M–R) titration technique, and compared to isoelectric point (IEP) obtained from electrophoretic mobility measurements. To validate the M–R technique, the point of zero charge and isoelectric point of two isotropic minerals (alumina and silica) were shown to be comparable. For serpentine and chlorite, respectively, the PZC was found at pH 4.3 and 4.7, while the IEP occurred at pH 4 and <3.

氟化钠在铝硅酸锌矿石物浮选新工艺试验研究

在季铵盐捕收剂体系中，氟化钠活化了层状硅酸盐矿物高岭石、伊利石和叶蜡石的浮选，而对一水硬铝石的浮选没有影响，可以作为铝土矿反浮选的有效调整剂。氟化钠在矿物表面上发生特性吸附作用，显著降低硅酸盐矿物的Zeta电位，而对一水硬铝石的电位影响不大。AES研究表明，氟离子扩散至硅酸盐矿物颗粒内部，使得其在硅酸盐矿物颗粒上的吸附量很高，而只在一水硬铝石表面发生较低量的吸附。氟离子在硅酸盐矿物颗粒的表面和内部的高吸附量显著降低矿物的动电位，增强捕收剂与矿物的静电作用，从而起到活化作用。     

Selective depression of diaspore with waxy maize starch

Highly branched waxy maize starch (WMS) was used to separate diaspore from artificial mixtures of diaspore and kaolinite by microflotation using dodecylamine (DDA) as collector. It was found that WMS depressed the diaspore flotation while activated the kaolinite flotation more or less. The adsorption of WMS on diaspore was examined through adsorption test, zeta potential measurement, infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. It is suggested that both chemical interaction and intermolecular hydrogen bonding by hydroxyl groups of starch with surface Al–OH moieties occurred in the adsorption. Results obtained from the adsorption of DDA and WMS on diaspore showed that starch virtually enhanced the DDA adsorption. The depressant action of WMS can be rationalized primarily by the formation of hydrophilic adsorption layer enveloping the surface of diaspore and covering the collector.     

调整剂在浮选分离一水硬铝石和高岭石中的研究

单矿物浮选试验结果表明, 在阳离子捕收剂DTAL 作用下, 调整剂SFL 在pH=2～12 范围内活化高岭石的浮选, 而在弱酸性条件下对一水硬铝石的浮选影响较小。弱酸性条件下的人工混合矿分离试验表明, 随着原矿中一水硬铝石的含量的增加, 精矿铝硅比显著上升, 氧化铝的回收率也随着提高;在调整剂SFL 的作用下, 精矿铝硅比进一步提高。动电位测试研究表明, 与SFL 作用后的一水硬铝石和高岭石的负电位显著增加, 使得阳离子捕收剂通过静电作用力更容易吸附在矿物表面上吸附。吸附量的测试表明:SFL增加了在高岭石表面的捕收剂吸附量, 而在一水硬铝石表面的捕收剂吸附量有所减少。     

The behavior of N,N-dipropyl dodecyl amine as a collector in the flotation of kaolinite and diaspore

The flotation behaviors of kaolinite and diaspore were investigated using N,N-dipropyl dodecyl amine (PN). Maximum recoveries of kaolinite and diaspore were about 90% and 50%, respectively. Both recoveries of kaolinite and diaspore increased with the increasing dosage of PN. On the basis of the zeta potential and FT-IR spectra, the ionization of surface hydroxyl and the isomorphic exchange of surface ions account for the charging mechanisms of surfaces of kaolinite and diaspore. The adsorption mechanism of PN on the surface of two minerals was mainly electrostatic. After reacting with PN, the zeta potential of kaolinite and diaspore both increased, and comparing with the original zeta potentials, potential of kaolinite increased much more than that of diaspore, this can explain why recovery of kaolinite is higher than that of diaspore.     

Beneficiation of diasporic-bauxite ore by selective flocculation with a polyacrylate flocculant

Beneficiation of a diasporic-bauxite ore by selective flocculation with sodium polyacrylate (PAS) was studied. Flocculation behaviors of diaspore, kaolinite, illite and pyrophyllite in the presence of PAS were also investigated by sedimentation tests. PAS shows good selectivity for the flocculation separation of diaspore from silicates in the range of pH 8–12. A concentrate with Al₂O₃/SiO₂ ratio 8.9 and the recovery of Al₂O₃ 87.0% was obtained from a diasporic-bauxite ore with Al₂O₃/SiO₂ ratio 5.7 with the addition of sodium carbonate 5 kg/t and PAS 7 g/t. Micro-photogram, zeta potential and FTIR measurements were then performed to study the mechanisms. It was observed that the zeta potentials of diaspore shifted to negative value strongly and the isoelectric point (IEP) of diaspore was also changed from about pH 6–4, and the flocs of diaspore were larger and denser than that of kaolinite in the presence of PAS. A new band at 1640 cm⁻¹ was found in the infrared spectrum of the diaspore after interaction with PAS, and this new band matched the characteristic peak at 1624 cm⁻¹ in the infrared spectrum of the reaction products of PAS and AlCl₃. The adsorption of PAS on diaspore is concluded to be chemisorption caused by the chemical reaction between carboxylate group and the exposed Al sites on diaspore surface.

二元组合捕收剂浮选分离一水硬铝石与高岭石的机理研究

以油酸钠为主要捕收剂,与苯甲羟肟酸组合使用,复配出二元组合捕收剂,再通过单矿物浮选试验考察二元组合捕收剂对一水硬铝石和高岭石两种铝硅矿物的捕收性能。通过表面张力测定和激光粒度测试,系统研究了二元组合捕收剂的浮选作用机理,旨在为我国铝土矿浮选脱硅捕收剂的开发提供理论指导。结果发现,二元组合捕收剂NaOL/BHA对一水硬铝石和高岭石伴生的铝硅酸盐矿物的浮选效果明显超过单一油酸钠捕收剂,研究的二元组合捕收剂中油酸钠与苯甲羟肟酸的最佳摩尔配比为9∶1。二元组合捕收剂溶液的表面张力随着BHA浓度的增加而下降,在较低浓度下表面张力明显下降到拐点达到稳定值,该现象表明组合捕收剂活性高,捕收性能强,拐点处对应的两种药剂摩尔配比与单矿物浮选实验得出的最佳组合摩尔比一致。二元组合捕收剂可以明显促进一水硬铝石颗粒表观粒度增大,使其形成疏水性聚团,致使浮选回收率增大,而对高岭石表观粒度几乎没有影响。
