The Designation of the Collector in Aluminosilicate Minerals Flotation and the Study of its Mechanism

Abstract:

The main gangue minerals in bauxite ore are kaolinite, illite and pyrophyllite. The bauxite reverse flotation aims to float them out. In this essay, a certain type of bauxite is taken into account to design and synthesize the N-Alkyl-1,3-diaminopropane from the perspectives of solid-philic group and nonpolar group by applying the kaolinite crystal model in Curis² software. It also studies the function mechanism of this newly developed reagent in flotation by applying flotation solution chemical calculation, ζ-potential test and infrared spectrometry test.
