Flotation collector for silicate minerals

Abstract

The invention discloses a flotation collector for silicate minerals. The flotation collector is characterized in that R1 and R2 in the formula represent hydroxyls with 8 to 18 carbon atoms; and R3 represents sub-hydroxyl with 2 to 6 carbon atoms. The flotation collector is high in collection capacity and selectivity on the silicate minerals; and foams generated in flotation are brittle, so that the foams are easily removed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mineral flotation collector, in particular to a silicate mineral flotation collector. Background technique [0002] There are many types of collectors used in mineral flotation. Among them, anionic collector is a kind of commonly used collector. Anion collectors include fatty acids, fatty acid derivatives, modified fatty acids, and the like. In the collophosite flotation process, the anion collector has a good separation effect on the carbonate in the collophanite, but the anion collector generally has no obvious flotation effect on the silicate in the collophanite, so , when the silicate content in collophosite is high, the traditional anion collector can no longer meet the production requirements, and it cannot effectively reduce the silicate content in the concentrate, resulting in the Al 2 o 3 , Fe 2 o 3 , SiO 2 The high content is not conducive to the subsequent preparation of phosphoric acid. In the bauxite flot...

In the collophosite flotation process, the anion collector has a good separation effect on the carbonate in the collophanite, but the anion collector generally has no obvious flotation effect on the silicate in the collophanite, so , when the silicate content in collophosite is high, the traditional anion collector can no longer meet the production requirements, and it cannot effectively reduce the silicate content in the concentrate, resulting in the Al 2 o 3 , Fe 2 o 3 , SiO 2 High content is not conducive to the subsequent preparation of phosphoric acid

In the bauxite flotation process, fatty acid collectors are generally used for desiliconization in the positive flotation process, but this method has the disadvantages of large floating amount and large reagent consumption.

[0003] Traditional cationic collectors include dodecylamine, dodecyl trimethyl quaternary ammonium salt, ether amine, etc. Although these traditional cationic collectors have certain flotation desiliconization performance, in actual production, they are all There are many common defects, such as: poor selectivity, more foam, difficult to defoam, high product viscosity, difficult transmission, etc.
