Abstract
To study the sodium oleate (NaOL) adsorption on quartz and its effect on flotation under weak-acidic conditions, the adsorption characteristics of NaOL on the surface of quartz were determined at pH = 6.5 by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The solution chemical calculation results show that NaOL exists as oleic acid (HOL) under weakly acidic conditions. The existence form and charge distribution of quartz and HOL were analyzed by Molecular Dynamics Simulation (MDS) using Materials Studio (MS) software, and the results showed that HOL is prone to the (101) and (100) surfaces of quartz under weak-acidic conditions by hydrogen bonding. The flotation verification test with NaOL as a collector was also performed under weak-acidic conditions. The flotation test led to a partial flotation of quartz into the froth products, reducing the grade of hematite direct flotation concentrate, which is consistent with industrial production.
Abstract
Um die Adsorption von Natriumoleat (NaOL) auf Quarz und seine Auswirkung auf die Flotation unter schwach sauren Bedingungen zu untersuchen, wurden die Adsorptionseigenschaften von NaOL auf der Oberfläche von Quarz bei pH = 6,5 durch Fourier-Transform-Infrarotspektroskopie (FTIR) bestimmt. Die Berechnungen für die chemische Lösung zeigen, dass NaOL unter schwach sauren Bedingungen als Ölsäure (HOL) vorliegt. Die Existenzform und Ladungsverteilung von Quarz und HOL wurden mittels molekulardynamischer Simulation (MDS) unter Verwendung der Materials Studio (MS) Software analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass HOL unter schwach sauren Bedingungen durch Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen an die (101)- und (100)-Quarz-Oberflächen gebunden ist. Der Flotationsverifizierungstest mit NaOL als Kollektor wurde ebenfalls unter schwach sauren Bedingungen durchgeführt. Der Flotationsverifizierungstest führte zu einer teilweisen Flotation von Quarz in die weiteren Schaumprodukte, wodurch die Qualität des Hämatit-Direktflotationskonzentrats reduziert wurde, was mit der industriellen Produktion übereinstimmt.
