This invention discloses a method for preparing a composite flotation
reagent using
biomass hydrothermal liquefaction products, comprising the following steps:
Raw material preparation: providing
biomass raw materials rich in lipids or proteins; Catalytic
hydrothermal liquefaction: placing the
biomass raw materials and a composite catalyst in a reactor, reacting at a temperature of 250-350℃ and a pressure of 4-20 MPa, wherein the
water content of the biomass raw materials is 70-95%, and the composite catalyst contains alkaline components,
metal oxide components, and
rare earth element components; Product separation: separating the reaction products into oil and water to obtain bio-
crude oil containing amphiphilic molecules; Flotation application: applying the bio-
crude oil as a composite flotation
reagent to
mineral flotation, where the bio-
crude oil simultaneously functions as a frother and a collector. This invention uses waste biomass as
raw material to prepare a composite flotation
reagent with both frother and collector functions, realizing the
resource utilization of waste and the green upgrading of flotation reagents, and has the characteristics of wide
raw material sources, excellent reagent performance, and environmental friendliness.
