铝硅酸盐矿物新型浮选捕收剂的研究

考察了自行合成的新型阳离子表面活性剂QAS222对高岭石、叶蜡石和伊利石等铝硅酸盐矿物的浮选行为,试验研究结果表明：广泛矿浆pH范围内,新型阳离子表面活性剂QAS222对铝硅酸盐矿物既表现出较强的捕收力,又显示良好的选择性,是铝硅酸盐矿物的有效捕收剂,可应用于铝硅酸盐矿物的浮选富集,同样也可用于铝土矿、铁矿、萤石矿等选别过程的反浮选脱硅;在矿浆pH=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．     

N,N-二乙基-N-十六烷基胺的合成及其对铝硅矿物浮选性能的影响

以十六胺、甲酸和乙醛为原料,合成了阳离子捕收剂N,N-二乙基-N-十六烷基胺(DEN16),通过单矿物和人工混合矿浮选实验以及红外光谱和Zeta电位测试,考察了其对一水硬铝石、高岭石和伊利石的浮选行为以及矿物与药剂的作用机理.浮选结果表明:在pH=5～5.5,DEN16用量为2×10-4mol/L时,高岭石、伊利石的回收率均高于82%,而一水硬铝石仅为60%;人工混合矿浮选精矿的铝硅比均高于20,说明在pH8时,以DEN16为捕收剂可以实现铝硅酸盐与一水硬铝石的分离.红外光谱和Zeta电位研究结果表明,DEN16与3种矿物的作用皆为静电吸附,且与高岭石和伊利石的作用强于一水硬铝石.     

十二烷基三甲氧基硅烷对十二胺浮选铝硅矿物的影响

通过单矿物浮选实验、动电位测定及红外光谱分析,研究了十二胺(DDA)和十二烷基三甲氧基硅烷(WD-10)2种浮选药剂对一水硬铝石和高岭石的浮选行为和作用机理.结果表明:在酸性条件下,十二胺单独使用时,高岭石的回收率略高于一水硬铝石,两种矿物的可浮性差异不大,不能有效实现高岭石与一水硬铝石的浮选分离;十二烷基三甲氧基硅烷单独使用时对高岭石和一水硬铝石均无捕收作用;与单用十二胺相比,DDA+WD-10的组合捕收剂对硅酸盐矿物浮选能力强,选择性好.在pH=4～5.5的范围及最佳药剂配比条件下,高岭石回收率在75%以上,而一水硬铝石回收率只有20%左右,能有效实现铝硅矿物的反浮选分离.     

六偏磷酸钠在铝土矿浮选中的作用

通过浮选试验、吸附量测试、动电位测试,研究了六偏磷酸钠对一水硬铝石和高岭石2种矿物浮选行为的影响以及其作用机理。结果表明：六偏磷酸钠对这2种矿物均有抑制作用,当捕收剂量增大时,被六偏磷酸钠抑制的一水硬铝石的可浮性逐渐变好,而高岭石则变化不大。其主要原因在于六偏磷酸钠与捕收剂油酸钠在这2种矿物表面存在竞争吸附,而油酸钠在一水硬铝石表面的吸附能力强于在高岭石表面的吸附,使得在一定捕收剂用量下,六偏磷酸钠抑制高岭石的上浮而不抑制一水硬铝石。这为2种矿物浮选分离提供了依据;此外,六偏磷酸钠对矿物表面的动电位影响较大,增大了矿物之间的静电排斥力,有利于矿泥的分散,增强了浮选分离的选择性。     

油酸钠浮选高岭石的溶液化学机理研究

通过单矿物浮选实验、浮选溶液化学计算、Zeta电位测试和红外光谱分析研究了油酸钠对高岭石浮选行为的影响以及溶液化学作用机理,旨在为阴离子捕收剂高效浮选高岭石以及铝土矿正浮选提供理论指导.通过高岭石溶解组分的浓度对数图(lg c-pH)理论推算出高岭石零电点PZC=4.52,较Zeta电位所测值(PZC=3.9)偏高,与文献利用AFM所测的高岭石PZC=4～5一致.通过油酸钠溶液各组分的浓度对数图(lg c-pH)可知,形成最大浓度离子-分子缔合物的pH值为8.44,其与最佳浮选pH一致,此时高岭石表面Zeta电位负移也最显著,说明离子-分子缔合物的浮选活性最大.加入阴离子捕收剂油酸钠后高岭石表面Zeta电位整体向负移,说明油酸钠通过非静电力吸附在高岭石表面.结合红外光谱测试结果推断油酸钠与高岭石可能发生化学吸附.     

几种阳离子捕收剂浮选胶磷矿性能比较

为了较好地实现磷矿反浮选脱硅,选取适宜的胺类捕收剂及合理的浮选条件非常关键. 通过单泡管试验,对比研究椰油二胺、工业二胺、十二胺、86D（脂肪一胺）等4种不同胺类捕收剂对胶磷矿的浮选效果. 纯矿物试验结果表明:不同的胺类捕收剂具有不同的浮选性能,在不同的pH值下同一胺类捕收剂的浮选能力不同;在低用量、弱酸性介质中,十二胺对胶磷矿的捕收能力优于椰油二胺、工业二胺,最低是长碳链的一胺86D;在相同pH值条件下,碳链组成相同的脂肪二胺捕收能力强于脂肪一胺,碳链较长的脂肪一胺比碳链短的脂肪一胺捕收能力弱;在酸性介质中胺类捕收剂对胶磷矿的捕收能力比在碱性介质中弱. 实际矿物试验结果表明:胺类捕收剂对磷酸盐和硅酸盐矿物均具有较好的捕收能力;通过改变药剂加入量,调整其选择性,可更好地分离磷矿物与脉石矿物.     

季盐在高岭石(001)面上的吸附动力学模拟

首次将季盐作为捕收剂用于高岭石浮选研究,通过单矿物浮选试验、动电位测定和分子动力学模拟,分析了十二烷基三甲基氯化铵(DTAC)和十四烷基三丁基氯化(TTPC)对高岭石的浮选行为和作用机理.结果表明,高岭石浮选回收率在98%情况下,TTPC药剂用量仅为DTAC用量的一半.季盐TTPC特有的分子结构促进了其与矿物表面间CH…O氢键的形成;更强的静电作用力和吸附能使得季盐(TTPC)在高岭石表面吸附更加牢固,从而使其具有更优异的浮选性能.     

深度氧化脂肪酸MG-2浮选胶磷矿的性能及机理

Synthesis of γ-alkoxy-propylamines and their collecting properties on aluminosilicate minerals

γ-alkoxy-propylamines, C12 H25 O(CH2 )3 NH2, C14 H29 O(CH2)3 NH2, C16 H33 O(CH2)3 NH2, C18 H37 O-(CH2)3NH2 were synthesized from aliphatic alcohol and acrylonitrile. The flotation tests of kaolinite, pyrophyllite and illite were conducted. The flotation mechanisms were explained in view of the structures of reagents and alumin ium silicate minerals, zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectrum measurements. The results show that the synthesized r-alkoxy-propylamines are more effective than dodecyl amine for flotation of kaolinite, pyrophyllite and illite. For flotation kaolinite and illite, the collecting ability is in the order of C18 H37 O(CH2)3 NH2 ＞C16 H33O(CH2)3 NH2 ＞C14 H29O(CH2 )3 NH2 ＞C12 H25O(CH2)3 NH2, but the r-alkoxy-propylamines types of collectors have almost the same collecting ability on pyrophyllite,which demonstrating that γ-alkoxy-propylamines are new selective collectors for reverse floatation to remove aluminium silicate minerals from bauxite.     

Effect of quaternary ammonium salts on flotation behavior of aluminosilicate minerals

The electrokinetic properties and flotation of diaspore,kaolinite,pyrophyllite and illite with quaternary ammonium salts collectors were studied.The results of flotation tests show that the collecting ability of quaternary ammonium salts for the four minerals is in the order(from strong to weak)of octadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride(ODBA),cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB),dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(DTAC).Under the condition of alkalescence,it is possible to separate the diaspore from the silicate minerals such as kaolinite,illite and pyrophyllite using quaternary ammonium salts as collector.Isoelectric points(IEP)of diaspore,kaolinite,pyrophyllite and illite are pH=6.0,3.4,2.3 and 3.2,respectively.Quaternary ammonium salts can change ζ-potential of the aluminosilicate minerals obviously.The flotation mechanisms were explained by ζ-potential and Fourier transform infrared spectrum(FT-IR)measurements.The results demonstrate that only electrostatic interaction takes place between aluminosilicate     

Interactions between bubble and particles of key minerals of diasporic bauxite through the extended DLVO theory

The flotation of diasporic bauxite is to separate diaspore (valuable mineral) from aluminosilicate minerals (gangue minerals, mainly including kaolinite, illite and pyrophyllite), and the microscopic interaction force between the two types of minerals and air bubbles determines the separation efficiency. In this paper, based on the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory, the van der Waals, electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction between particles of the four minerals mentioned above and air bubbles in collectorless solution were calculated first, and then diaspore and kaolinite were taken as examples to analyze the influence of various factors such as electrolyte concentration, mineral particle size, air bubble size, collector type (dodecylamine hydrochloride (DAH) and sodium oleate (NaOL)) and concentration, and pulp pH on the interactions between the particles of valuable mineral and gangue minerals and air bubbles. The results showed that the total extended DLVO interactions between the four minerals and air bubbles were repulsive in most cases in collectorless solution. The increase in electrolyte concentration reduced the interaction force or even changed the direction of the force under certain circumstances. The addition of DAH and NaOL can reduce the adhesion energy barrier of kaolinite-bubble and diaspore-bubble respectively. Each type of minerals exhibited a specific interface interaction response with air bubbles in each collector with different pH values. The research results have theoretical guiding significance for the optimization and directional control of diasporic bauxite flotation conditions.     

Flotation and adsorption of quaternary ammonium salts collectors on kaolinite of different particle size

The flotation behaviors of decyltrimethylammonium (103C), dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (TTAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) on kaolinite of different particle size fraction were studied. The adsorbed amount and adsorption isotherms of collectors on kaolinite were determined for painstaking investigation into the adsorption of quaternary amines at kaolinite–water interface by ultraviolet spectrophotometer methods. The flotation results show that the flotation recovery of kaolinite of different particle fraction increases with an increase in pH when 103C, DTAC, TTAC and CTAC are used as collectors. As the concentration of collectors increases, the flotation recovery increases. Particle size of kaolinite has a strong effect on flotation. The flotation recovery of fine kaolinite decreases with the carbon chain of quaternary ammonium salts collectors increasing, while coarse kaolinite is on the contrary. The adsorbed amount tests and adsorption isotherms show that adsorbed amount increases when the particle size of kaolinite increases or when the carbon chain length of quaternary ammonium salts increases. Within the range of flotation collector concentration, the longer the hydrocarbon chain, the more probable to be absolutely adsorbed by fine kaolinite particles and then the lower the collector concentration in the bulk, which leds to lower flotation recovery.     

Flotation of niobite, fersmite, and ilmenorutile

The flotation of niobite, fersmite, and ilmenorutile was studied using 3 collectors with various concentration and pulp pH. The collecting property of different representative collectors was investigated. Experimental results show that diphosphonic acid is an effective collector for valuable niobium-containing minerals. A flotation recovery of 90.87%-91.7% is obtained with 75 mg/L diphosphonic acid at pH 2-4. The chemical adsorption of diphosphonic acid on these 3 minerals’ surface might lead to the high re...

Flotation behavior of four dodecyl tertiary amines as collectors of diaspore and kaolinite

The flotation of diaspore and kaolinite by one of a series of tertiary amines (DRN, DEN, DPN and DBN) was investigated. The tertiary amines show better floating recovery for kaolinite compared to diaspore. The maximum recovery D-value is 45% over a pH range from 3 to 8. FT-IR spectra confirm the presence of hydroxyl groups on the surface of kaolinite and diaspore. Zeta potential measurements show that the mineral surfaces are negatively charged over a wide pH range. Ionization of hydroxyl groups mainly accounts for the surface charging mechanism. The adsorption of tertiary amines onto the mineral surface is due mainly to electrostatic effects and the difference in electrostatic effect between a collector and the two minerals can explain the flotation separation. Inductive electronic and steric effects from the substituent groups result in different collecting powers for the four tertiary amines.     

Flotation of kaolinite and diaspore with hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride

Tertiary amine was synthesized from fatty amine and formaldehyde. And then the synthesized tertiary amine was used to react with benzyl chloride to synthesize hexadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride （1627） at ambient pressure. Using the synthesized 1627 as collector,the flotation properties of diaspore and kaolinite were investigated by single mineral and mixed mineral test. The flotation mechanism of diaspore,kaolinite and 1627 was discussed based on FTIR spectra. The results show that the mass ratio of aluminum to silicate achieves 15.02 and the recovery of alumina in concentrate is 43.07% using 1627 as a collector. The 1627 is found to be a more effective and a promising collector for reverse flotation to remove aluminum-silicate minerals from bauxite.     

Flotation performance of a novel Gemini collector for kaolinite at low temperature

How to sustainably produce bauxite by effective reverse froth flotation of kaolinite at low temperature is an urgent problem to be solved in the field of mineral processing. In this work, a novel amino-based Gemini surfactant butadiyl-1, 4-bis (dimethyl dodecylammonium bromide) (BBDB) was prepared and first utilized as a novel collector for kaolinite flotation. Its flotation performance for kaolinite was compared with that of the common monomolecular surfactant 1-dodecylamine (DDA) by micro-flotation tests. The tests results indicated that 95% kaolinite recovery was obtained using 2.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L BBDB at 25 ℃, which was half of the dosage when DDA obtained the maximum kaolinite recovery of 81%. At extremely low temperature (0 ℃), 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L BBDB could still collect 91% kaolinite, while DDA showed a frustrating ability. The contact angle tests indicated that BBDB could still significantly improve the hydrophobicity of the kaolinite surface (contact angle 71.7°) than DDA (contact angle only 25.8°) at 0 ℃. The Krafft point comparison tests indicated that BBDB had a much lower Krafft point (below 0 ℃) than DDA. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)-spectrum analysis and zeta potential measurements showed that BBDB was physically adsorbed on the surface of kaolinite through electrostatic interaction.
