Abstract

In this paper, the effect of a new mixed collector sodium oleate (NaOl)/tert dodecyl mercaptan (TDM) on the separation of diaspore and kaolinite at 283 K was investigated. The molar ratio of NaOl to TDM is 8:2. The properties of the mixed collector and its adsorption mechanism on diaspore and kaolinite were studied by surface tension measurements, Zeta potential determinations and XPS analysis. The flotation results show that the mixed collector NaOl/TDM has a good collection ability for diaspore and a good selectivity for kaolinite at low temperatures. Therefore, the mixed collector NaOl/TDM can effectively separate diaspore and kaolinite under alkaline conditions at 283 K. The results of surface tension measurements show that the molecular density, hydrophobic association ability and collection ability of the mixed collector NaOl/TDM are better than those of the single collector at 283 K. In addition, the formation of a micelle effect of the mixed collector NaOl/TDM has a synergistic effect, which improves the reagent activity at low temperatures with the flotation effect enhanced. The results of the Zeta potential determinations and XPS analysis show that the total adsorption capacity of the mixed collector NaOl/TDM on the surface of the diaspore at low temperatures is higher than that of NaOl, and the adsorption capacity on the surface of kaolinite is similar to that of NaOl. The mixed collector NaOl/TDM may be adsorbed on the surface of diaspore and kaolinite by a hydrogen bond at 283 K.
