For the purpose of understanding colloidal behaviors illite in mineral processing, probing surface charging property is great significance. This research explored edge and basal surfaces using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The interaction forces between Si/Si3N4 probes edge/basal were measured, respectively, at different pH values 10 mM KCl solutions. Theoretical Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek matched up with measured to derive potentials two surfaces. On surface, attractive occurred...
Using the mixed fatty acids (MFA) produced by waste cooking oil as flotation collectors directly, effect is usually not satisfactory, especially at lower temperature, which may be due to presence of large amounts saturated acids. In this study, was separated into (SFA) and unsaturated (UFA). The separation mechanism studied molecular simulation based on quantum mechanics. SFA UFA were analyzed iodine value, melting point measurement Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy check...
2-((2-(decyloxy)ethyl)amino)lauric acid (C10H21CH(NH(CH2)3OC10H21)COOH, (LDEA), a novel amphoteric surfactant, has been first utilized as the collector for on-site reverse flotation of Anqian mixed magnetic concentrates.The separation performances were investigated systematically by conditioning tests, open-circuit flowsheet experiment, and locked cycle test.The condition test's results showed that optimal roughing conditions pulp pH 10, starch dosage 1000 g/Mg, LDEA 500 g/Mg at 25 °C.Under...
