Mechanism of a new combined collector for efficient flotation separation of cassiterite and calcite
The challenging separation of cassiterite from calcite by flotation stems from their similar floatability, requiring innovative combined collectors to improve process efficiency and selectivity. Here, a novel PTPA/FeCl3 collector was developed by synthesizing p-tert-butylphenylhydroxamic acid (PTPA) with FeCl3. Microflotation tests showed that using PTPA alone yielded 81.80% SnO2 and 45.87% CaO recoveries, whereas PTPA/FeCl3 increased SnO2 recovery to 89.51% while reducing CaO to 27.02%, demonstrating superior separation efficiency. Contact angle measurements confirmed enhanced cassiterite hydrophobicity from the mixed collector. SEM-EDS and XPS analyses revealed effective chemisorption of PTPA/FeCl3 on cassiterite, where PTPA and FeCl3 formed a stably adsorbed chelate complex. In contrast, calcite exhibited weak and unstable adsorption. The mixed collector thus combines strong collecting capability with high selectivity for cassiterite over calcite.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
