Abstract

In this paper, the flotation performance and mechanism of chalcopyrite and molybdenite in persulfate/Fe²⁺ systems were evaluated for the first time. The flotation results showed that the recovery difference between chalcopyrite and molybdenite was 63.41 % when PS/Fe²⁺ were used as depressants. Radicals ·OH and SO₄-· can be observed in electron paramagnetic resonance analysis, indicating that the addition of PS/Fe²⁺ constitutes an advanced oxidation process in minerals systems. The free radical quenching experiments further verified that the free radicals depressed chalcopyrite. To explore the mechanism of free radicals, the contact angle, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Cyclic voltammetry curves and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were carried out. The results showed that after PS/Fe²⁺ treatment, the surface of chalcopyrite was covered by oxides/hydroxides, while the surface of molybdenite had little change and still maintained good hydrophobicity. Finally, a possible model for reacting PS/Fe²⁺ with chalcopyrite was proposed.

期刊介绍： Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests: Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods. Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition. Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces). Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles. Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology. Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying. Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body. Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters. For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
