After slicing the silicon single crystal, the waste liquor containing SiC and silicon powders is discharged from the process. The particle sizes of SiC and Si are about 10I¼m and 1I¼m, respectively and the weight ratio is about 9:1. The particles discharged from slicing waste liquor become the mixture of SiC and SiO 2 , when the waste liquor is burned after treating the lubricant oil by a filter press. In terms of the minimization of wastes and environment, it is preferable to separate and recover the valuable SiC from SiO 2 . In order to solve the problem mentioned above, flotation method can be applied to accomplish the separation of SiC from SiO 2 . The cationic surfactants of dodecyl-tri-methyl-ammonium chloride (abbreviated as DTMAC hereafter) and tri-methyl-octyl-ammonium chloride (abbreviated as TMOAC hereafter) were used in this study. The adsorption amount of surfactants on SiC and SiO 2 particles was measured. The flotation behaviors of SiC and SiO 2 were investigated by changing pH, gas flow rate and flotation time in the presence of DTMAC. The purity and yield of SiC were also discussed in the flotation process comprising of roughing, cleaning and scavenging steps. A series of flotation process for SiC gave the purity and yield of 99.7% and 96.7%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":15165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Solution Chemistry and Modeling","volume":"72 1","pages":"32-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83210115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electrostatic contributions to the solvation free energies ∆G sol ele are also more important in water because of their polar nature.

The solvents selected were: n-heptane, cyclohexane, and tetrahydrofuran. The concentrations of AOT [Aerosol-OT (sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate)] were varied from 0.01 to 0.2mol/kg. I²â€“carotene concentration in quvette during UV-vis spectrum registration was not the same in each solvents because of different absorption intensity depending on the solvent. Water concentration in the studied systems was defined by R parameter according to relation: R=[H 2 O]/[AOT] and was equal 0; 5; 10 both in n-heptane and cyclohexane, and 0; 10 and 20 in tetrahydrofuran. Obtained results showed a noticeable decreasing of I²â€“carotene absorbance as a function of AOT concentration. There is evidenced red shift of I²â€“carotene absorbance depending on the solvent in the following order: tetrahydrofuran >cyclohexane>n-heptane. Presented results show that I²â€“carotene absorbance decreased with water concentration in the system. It had been happened because the water molecules located in the core of micelles make its curvature bigger and the hydrocarbon chains forming palisade layer in AOT reversed micelles get more space. As a consequence I²â€“carotene molecules penetrated this layer dipper comparing to systems without water.
