However, reported adsorbents are still facing challenges, including high costs, the easy agglomeration of polyamines, and limited adsorption temperature ranges. In this study, sepiolite-based mixed amine adsorbents are prepared by synergistically impregnating acid-treated sepiolite with a mixture of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and diethanolamine (DEA). Results show that at a PEI/DEA loading ratio of 1:1 and a mixture loading of 60wt%, the CO 2 adsorption capacity of the resulting adsorbent increases from 0.58 mmol/g for acid-treated sepiolite to 2.89 mmol/g at 60 °C, and remains above 2.50 mmol/g after 10 cycles. Meanwhile, the optimized adsorbent maintains a capacity of over 2.44 mmol/g within the temperature range of 30–70 °C. Additionally, the CO 2 selectivity and maximum heat of adsorption for the optimized adsorbent are calculated to be 1184 and 60.08 kJ/mol, respectively. An improved CO 2 adsorption capacity is obtained, an increase from 0.052 mmol/g for acid-treated sepiolite to 1.60 mmol/g. Furthermore, an in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) analysis reveals that the introduction of DEA into PEI helps in polyamine dispersion, thereby enhancing CO 2 adsorption capacity. The CO 2 capture mechanism follows a zwitterionic reaction, where CO 2 is ultimately converted into carbamate and carbamic acid. Overall, the as-prepared sepiolite-based mixed amine adsorbents, which are characterized by high CO 2 adsorption capacity and selectivity, low cost, broad adsorption temperature range, moderate heat of adsorption, and good cycle stability, show promising potential for industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":518909,"journal":{"name":"Green and Smart Mining Engineering","volume":"1 4","pages":"363-374"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147888141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We achieved an outstanding phosphate concentrate with a P 2 O 5 grade of 35.16wt%, a SiO 2 content of 6.06wt%, and a P 2 O 5 recovery of 75.88%. This process was accomplished through two sequential reverse cationic flotation processes designed for quartz removal. Importantly, the quartz removal by LH-01 reached 94.17%, far superior to that by dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, achieving highly selective separation of quartz and apatite. To understand the adsorption mechanism and kinetics of the collector LH-01 on quartz and apatite surfaces, various techniques, such as quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were employed. Results revealed that the adsorption layer of LH-01 on the apatite surface was thin and rigid, with a significantly lower hydrophobic effect than that of the viscoelastic multiple adsorption layer formed by LH-01 on the quartz surface. This disparity was identified as the primary factor contributing to the selective flotation separation of apatite and quartz. Moreover, the adsorption of LH-01 on the quartz surface was the result of multiple forces, including electrostatic adsorption, multiple-hydrogen-bond adsorption, and intermolecular hydrophobic association.","PeriodicalId":518909,"journal":{"name":"Green and Smart Mining Engineering","volume":"1 3","pages":"322-335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147920377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
