A mixed collector system for phosphate flotation

Flotation has been used in industry for more than a half century as the primary technique for upgrading phosphate. While the flotation of phosphate was inefficient when oleic acid was used alone as a collector, therefore a mixed collector of oleic acid (HOl), linoleic acid (LA) and linolenic acid (LNA) was employed to improve the recovery of phosphate flotation. The batch flotation results showed that the optimal composition of the mixed collector was 54 wt.% HOl, 36 wt.% LA and 10 wt.% LNA. Additionally, the effect of pH on the mixed collector application was studied while considering the surface tension, contact angle and micro-flotation. The results showed that the mixed collector should be used at a pH of 9.5. Above a pH of 9.5, the adsorption of fatty acids dimers on the apatite surface hindered phosphate flotation. The influence of the mixed collector assembly on apatite flotation was also investigated. It was demonstrated that due to its low critical micelle concentration, a sufficiently hydrophobic apatite surface could be generated at a collector concentration of 60 mg/L. In addition, zeta potential experiments suggested that collector adsorption was governed by chemisorption. FTIR and XPS spectra studies further indicated that the chemical reaction involved the carboxyl groups of fatty acids and Ca species at the apatite surface for each fatty acid in the mixed collector.     

Use of conditioning time to investigate the mechanisms of interactions of selected fatty acids on hematite Part II laboratory investigations

It is the aim of this paper to examine the effects of conditioning time on the flotation of hematite using three technical grade fatty acid reagents as providing additional evidence on their mechanism of interaction with the hematite surface. Various mechanisms have been postulated as occurring as conditioning time is increased. Both physical (e.g. conditioning time and power input) and chemical (nature, dispersion and solubility of the adsorbing species) contribute to the mechanisms of attachment of collector. In this paper, the mechanism of attachment of oleate to hematite can be readily explained by chemisorption, but the mechanism of attachment of lauric acid appears to be physical adsorption at neutral pH. The flotation of hematite with a mixture of tallow-type fatty acids (palmitic, stearic and oleic acids) is very sensitive to conditioning time, and suggests that, even though flotation is very effective at short conditioning times, it is very susceptible to the presence of fines and their associated high surface areas. It is therefore obvious that both the physical and chemical conditions contribute to the mechanisms of adsorption of fatty acids on iron-containing oxide minerals and must be understood in order to optimise the flotation of these minerals in an industrial situation.     

Effect of Biochar as Reductant on Magnetizing-roasting Behavior of Pyrite Cinder

The effect of biochar substituted for anthracite as reductant on magnetizing-roasting pyrite cinder was investigated.The key of magnetizing-roasting is the gasification reaction between reductants and CO2.Since biochar could react with CO2 more rapidly at lower temperature,the reactivity of biochar is better than that of anthracite.The gasification of biochar could produce reducing condition ofφCO/(φCO+φCO2)about 10%-20% between 700-800 ℃,which is in accord with the atmosphere and temperature of Fe2O3 reduction.So it is beneficial to the reduction of iron mineral of pyrite cinder.Compared with anthracite,biochar could decrease the roasting temperature from825 to 750 ℃ and roasting time from 20 to 15min,which shows that a better effect of magnetization could be obtained in the condition of lower temperature and shorter time.Using biochar as reductant,iron concentrate extracted from pyrite cinder as about 64%iron grade could be produced,and the recovery is over 90% under the condition of above 90% grinding particle less than 0.045 mm and magnetic intensity of 0.124-0.194 T.

岩性指示曲线重构及其在储层预测中的应用

大牛地上古生界岩性气藏主要发育在三角洲分流河道沉积的下石盒子组、海陆交互沉积的山西组及以潮坪相沉积为主的太原组,储层是储集性能较差的致密砂岩,平均孔隙度小于10％,渗透率小于1×10-2μm2,储层单层厚度一般小于10 m,砂体横向连通性较差。由于低孔、低渗特征导致储层与围岩的波阻抗差异微弱,用地震资料进行储层预测困难。为此,针对大牛地石板太工区优质储层的岩性特征和测井响应特征进行了测井综合分析,利用对岩性粒度敏感的自然伽马曲线,以及对岩性粒度响应频率较低,且与波阻抗有较好对应关系的中子曲线重构了岩性指示曲线。岩性指示曲线不仅可以有效地识别优质砂体,划分不同岩性,为地震、测井信息结合的岩性反演建立桥梁,同时也为反演结果识别气层打下了基础。利用岩性指示曲线、波阻抗和电阻率曲线进行的地震、测井联合反演技术在石板太工区取得了较好的效果,同时,对石板太工区下石盒子组盒2段、山2段进行了储层和含气性预测,划分了有利含气区带,部署的2口开发井和1口探井有2口井见气,其中1口井获高产气流。

砂岩酸化中水化硅沉淀的影响因素分析

讨论了砂岩酸化中产生水化硅沉淀的反应机理。使高岭土与1.0%HF和多种配比的HCl HF在不同温度(20-90℃)反应不同时间(10-300分钟),用等离子吸收光谱法(ICP)测定酸液中可溶性硅的浓度(mg/L),取某时段测定值的减小量为该时段水化硅沉淀生成量,讨论了多种因素的影响,得到了如下结果和结论。反应温度越高,则高岭土与HF之间的反应越快,形成水化硅沉淀的时间越短,最终生成的沉淀量越大;在HF中加入HCl(使用土酸体系)、减小土酸中HF质量分数、加大土酸中HCl、HF质量分数比,均可使生成沉淀时间延后,使最终生成沉淀量减少。60℃时300分钟沉淀量,在1.0%HF、5.0%HCl 1.0%HF、9.0%HCl 1.0%HF中分别为482、321、201mg/L。提出了在酸化设计与施工中可以采取的6条简便易行的减少水化硅沉淀量的措施。图4表1参6。
