Abstract
Dynamic pore wetting plays a major role in the flotation of porous mineral particles. However, the role of chemical properties of the liquids in dynamic pore wetting is not systematically studied. This paper studied the dynamic pore wetting process of the porous carbon particles by 10 g/L NaOL solution and n-hexadecane at different wetting times using a 1H low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR). The mechanism of chemical groups of liquids affecting the pore wetting percentage and floatability of porous particles was revealed by FTIR, zeta potential, contact angle, and particle-bubble attachment tests. The results displayed that the pore wetting percentage of the particles wetted by NaOL solution was larger than that by n-hexadecane except for mesopores. Compared with the raw sample, the surface potential of the particles wetted by n-hexadecane was decreased and that by NaOL solution were negative. The NaOL, as an amphiphilic reagent contained some hydrophobic and hydrophilic functional groups, which was different from the n-hexadecane. The NaOL molecule could be easily adsorbed into the particles by electrostatic interaction compared with n-hexadecane, achieving a better surface hydrophobicity of the particles. Thus, the floatability of porous carbon particles wetted by NaOL solution was larger than that by n-hexadecane.
期刊介绍:
The word ‘particuology’ was coined to parallel the discipline for the science and technology of particles.
Particuology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes frontier research articles and critical reviews on the discovery, formulation and engineering of particulate materials, processes and systems. It especially welcomes contributions utilising advanced theoretical, modelling and measurement methods to enable the discovery and creation of new particulate materials, and the manufacturing of functional particulate-based products, such as sensors.
Papers are handled by Thematic Editors who oversee contributions from specific subject fields. These fields are classified into: Particle Synthesis and Modification; Particle Characterization and Measurement; Granular Systems and Bulk Solids Technology; Fluidization and Particle-Fluid Systems; Aerosols; and Applications of Particle Technology.
Key topics concerning the creation and processing of particulates include:
-Modelling and simulation of particle formation, collective behaviour of particles and systems for particle production over a broad spectrum of length scales
-Mining of experimental data for particle synthesis and surface properties to facilitate the creation of new materials and processes
-Particle design and preparation including controlled response and sensing functionalities in formation, delivery systems and biological systems, etc.
-Experimental and computational methods for visualization and analysis of particulate system.
These topics are broadly relevant to the production of materials, pharmaceuticals and food, and to the conversion of energy resources to fuels and protection of the environment.
