[0003] In the flotation process, it is often necessary to add flotation agents to change the hydrophobicity of the coal surface, improve the floatability of the coal, and achieve effective separation of coal and gangue. However, in the prior art, single 2-octanol is used as a frother in coal slime flotation, which has the problems of large agent consumption, general flotation effect, and difficult to break foam in the discharged tailings water.

[0032] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the drawings required for use in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show certain embodiments of the present application and therefore should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present application.

[0033] Figure 1 The infrared spectrum of the coal preparation foaming agent provided in Example 1;

[0034] Figure 2 This is a physical picture of the slurry flotation provided in Example 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] As used herein:

[0036] "Prepared from" is synonymous with "comprising." As used herein, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," "containing," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the listed elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0037] The conjunction "consisting of excludes any unspecified element, step, or component. If used in a claim, this phrase renders the claim closed-ended so that it does not include materials other than those described, except for conventional impurities associated therewith. When the phrase "consisting of" appears in a clause of the body of a claim rather than immediately following the subject matter, it limits only the elements described in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.

[0038] When an amount, concentration, or other value or parameter is expressed as a range, a preferred range, or a range defined by a series of upper preferred values ​​and lower preferred values, this should be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed by any pairing of any range upper limit or preferred value with any range lower limit or preferred value, regardless of whether the range is disclosed separately. For example, when a range of "1 to 5" is disclosed, the described range should be interpreted as including ranges "1 to 4", "1 to 3", "1 to 2", "1 to 2 and 4 to 5", "1 to 3 and 5", etc. When a numerical range is described in this article, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include its end values ​​and all integers and fractions within the range.

[0039] In these examples, parts and percentages are by mass unless otherwise indicated.

[0040] "Parts by mass" refers to the basic unit of measurement for expressing the mass ratio of multiple components. 1 part can represent any unit mass, such as 1g or 2.689g. If we say that the mass of component A is a parts and the mass of component B is b parts, it means the ratio of the mass of component A to the mass of component B is a:b. Alternatively, it means that the mass of component A is aK and the mass of component B is bK (K is an arbitrary number, indicating a multiple factor). It should not be misunderstood that, unlike the mass parts, the sum of the mass of all components is not limited to 100 parts.

[0041] "And / or" is used to indicate that one or both of the stated situations may occur, for example, A and / or B includes (A and B) and (A or B).

[0042] The first aspect of the present application provides a coal preparation foaming agent, the raw materials of which, in parts, include:

[0043] 40-50 parts of triethyl phosphate, 12-25 parts of 2-methylthiobenzothiazole, 12-23 parts of triethylamine, 12-20 parts of alcohol compound, and 1-5 parts of emulsifier.

[0044] Optionally, the raw materials of the coal preparation foaming agent are calculated in parts: triethyl phosphate can be 40 parts, 45 parts, 50 parts or any value between 40 parts and 50 parts, 2-methylthiobenzothiazole can be 12 parts, 20 parts, 25 parts or any value between 12 parts and 25 parts, triethylamine can be 12 parts, 20 parts, 23 parts or any value between 12 parts and 23 parts, the alcohol compound can be 12 parts, 15 parts, 20 parts or any value between 12 parts and 20 parts, and the emulsifier can be 1 part, 3 parts, 5 parts or any value between 1 part and 5 parts.

[0045] In some embodiments, the raw materials of the coal preparation foaming agent, calculated as 100% by total mass, include:

[0046] 42-48 parts of triethyl phosphate, 15-23 parts of 2-methylthiobenzothiazole, 15-20 parts of triethylamine, 15-18 parts of alcohol compounds, and 1-4 parts of emulsifier.

[0047] Optionally, the raw materials of the coal preparation foaming agent are calculated in parts: triethyl phosphate can be 42 parts, 44 parts, 46 parts, 48 ​​parts or any value between 42 parts and 48 parts, 2-methylthiobenzothiazole can be 15 parts, 17 parts, 19 parts, 21 parts, 23 parts or any value between 15 parts and 23 parts, triethylamine can be 15 parts, 17 parts, 19 parts, 20 parts or any value between 15 parts and 20 parts, the alcohol compound can be 15 parts, 16 parts, 18 parts or any value between 15 parts and 18 parts, and the emulsifier can be 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts or any value between 1 part and 4 parts.

[0048] It should be noted that the reason for further optimizing the dosage ratio is that the intermediate dissolution prepared in steps can be more complete and the flash point of the synthetic product can reach a higher value, ultimately obtaining an efficient and environmentally friendly foaming agent for coal preparation. The foaming properties are not affected while reducing the proportion of raw materials in the preparation of the agent.

[0049] In some embodiments, the raw materials of the coal preparation foaming agent, calculated as 100% by total mass, include:

[0050] 42-48 parts of triethyl phosphate, 15-23 parts of 2-methylthiobenzothiazole, 16-18 parts of triethylamine, 15-17 parts of alcohol compound, and 2-4 parts of emulsifier.

[0051] Optionally, the raw materials of the coal preparation foaming agent are calculated in parts, and the raw materials of the coal preparation foaming agent are calculated in parts, triethyl phosphate can be 42 parts, 43 parts, 45 parts, 47 parts or any value between 42 parts and 48 parts, 2-methylthiobenzothiazole can be 15 parts, 16 parts, 18 parts, 20 parts, 22 parts or any value between 15 parts and 23 parts, triethylamine can be 16 parts, 17 parts, 18 parts or any value between 16 parts and 18 parts, the alcohol compound can be 15 parts, 16 parts, 17 parts or any value between 15 parts and 17 parts, and the emulsifier can be 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts or any value between 2 parts and 4 parts.

[0052] It should be noted that reducing the proportion of raw materials to obtain the optimal dosage ratio can make the preparation of the agent more targeted and the synergistic effect between the various raw materials can be maximized, making the foam properties more stable and the subsequent three-phase foam easy to break without affecting the subsequent dehydration effect.

[0053] In some embodiments, the alcohol compound includes one or more of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol.

[0054] In some embodiments, the emulsifier includes Span 80.

[0055] It should be noted that when the emulsifier is Span 80, the molecular structure of Span 80 is unique, with both hydrophobic fatty acid chains and hydrophilic polyoxyethylene chains. This structure enables it to form micelles between different phases, which can effectively disperse oil droplets in the water phase, or disperse water droplets in the oil phase. During the emulsification process, the tiny micelles formed by Span 80 between the two incompatible liquids increase the surface area of ​​contact between the two phases, thereby achieving a better emulsification effect.

[0056] The second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing the coal preparation foaming agent, comprising:

[0057] The raw materials are mixed.

[0058] In some embodiments, the mixing comprises:

[0059] The triethyl phosphate and part of the alcohol compound are first mixed to obtain a solution A;

[0060] The 2-methylthiobenzothiazole and the remaining alcohol compound are mixed for a second time to obtain a solution B;

[0061] Mixing the solution A and the solution B for the third time to obtain a solution C;

[0062] The solution C, triethylamine and emulsifier are mixed for the fourth time.

[0063] It should be noted that the step-by-step preparation can make the flotation frother more fully dissolved and dispersed, and the intermediate products can also be used as raw materials for other reagents. The preparation of reagents is convenient and has a high safety factor.

[0064] The third aspect of the present application provides a coal flotation method, comprising:

[0065] The raw coal ore is slurried to obtain slurry;

[0066] The ore pulp, the coal preparation frother or the coal preparation frother prepared by the preparation method of the coal preparation frother, and a collector are mixed, and clean coal is obtained by flotation.

[0067] In some embodiments, the coal flotation method satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0068] A. The concentration of the ore pulp is 80g / L-100g / L of raw ore;

[0069] Optionally, the concentration of the slurry may be 80 g / L of raw ore, 90 g / L of raw ore, 100 g / L of raw ore, or any value between 80 g / L of raw ore and 100 g / L of raw ore;

[0070] B. The dosage of the collector is 3kg / t-4kg / t of raw ore;

[0071] Optionally, the amount of the collector can be 3kg / t of raw ore, 3.5kg / t of raw ore, 4kg / t of raw ore, or any value between 3kg / t of raw ore and 4kg / t of raw ore;

[0072] C. The collector includes diesel.

[0073] It should be noted that when the collector includes diesel, the role of the foaming agent is mainly to promote the combination of minerals and bubbles to achieve separation in water, while the role of diesel is mainly to provide hydrophobicity in the aqueous medium, form bubbles and adsorb on coal and minerals, thereby achieving separation. In the two-agent system, diesel and the foaming agent have a good synergistic effect, and the hydrophobic interaction energy between particles is mainly hydrophobic. Compared with the single-agent system, the "energy barrier" of the total potential energy between particles is greatly reduced. The lower the "energy barrier", the greater the attraction energy between particles, and the more conducive to the coagulation and floating of fine coal particles, which better explains the result that the optimal dosage of the agent should be selected for flotation.

[0074] In some embodiments, the amount of the coal preparation foaming agent used is 125g / t-150g / t-ore.

[0075] Optionally, the dosage of the coal preparation foaming agent can be 125g / t raw ore, 130g / t raw ore, 135g / t raw ore, 140g / t raw ore, 145g / t raw ore, 150g / t raw ore or any value between 125g / t raw ore and 150g / t raw ore.

[0076] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific examples, but it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the following examples are only used to illustrate the present application and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present application. If specific conditions are not specified in the examples, they are carried out according to normal conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer is not specified for the reagents or instruments used, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0077] Example 1

[0078] In a first aspect, the present embodiment provides a coal preparation foaming agent, the raw materials of which include:

[0079] 45 parts of triethyl phosphate, 20 parts of 2-methylthiobenzothiazole, 17 parts of triethylamine, 9 parts of ethanol, 3 parts of methanol, 3 parts of isopropanol, and 3 parts of emulsifier Span 80.

[0080] A second aspect of this embodiment provides a method for preparing a coal preparation foaming agent, comprising:

[0081] Triethyl phosphate and ethanol were stirred in a stirred reactor for 30 min to obtain solution A;

[0082] Solution A, 2-methylthiobenzothiazole, methanol and isopropanol are mixed to obtain solution B;

[0083] Solution B, triethylamine and emulsifier were mixed to obtain a coal preparation foaming agent. The entire preparation process took 1 hour.

[0084] The infrared spectrum of the coal preparation foaming agent is as follows Figure 1 As shown, at 2955.18cm -1 、2923.78cm -1 and 2854.13cm -1 The absorption peak at 1737.86cm belongs to the CH stretching vibration mode, indicating that triethyl phosphate and triethylamine are present in the product; -1 The absorption peak at 1599.49cm belongs to the C=O stretching vibration mode, which is related to ester compounds; -1 and 1511.36cm -1 The absorption peak is located in the stretching vibration region of aromatic C=C and C=N (1400-1600cm -1 ), the specific wave number depends on the degree of conjugation and environment in benzothiazole. The existence of absorption peaks in this region indicates that there are a large number of benzothiazole derivative structures in the composition; due to the rich CH component of alkanes, 1456.6cm -1 The absorption peak at 1246.79cm is mainly related to the methylene bending vibration mode; -1 The position is mainly related to the P=O stretching vibration in phosphate ester; 1093cm -1 The absorption peaks near 655.19 cm-1 are relatively strong and overlap with each other. This region contains the stretching vibration modes of alcohol compounds CO and POC in phosphate esters. Since 2-methylthiobenzothiazole contains a sulfide (CS) bond, it has a peak at 655.19 cm-1. -1 The overlapping peaks nearby may be related to the presence of sulfur atoms. Through the above analysis, it can be determined that the absorption peak composition is consistent with the infrared characteristics of the complex of phosphate and benzothiazole derivatives.

[0086] In this embodiment, two experiments were carried out according to the above steps. The dosage of the frother in the first experiment was 125 g / t of the raw ore, and the dosage of the frother in the second experiment was 150 g / t of the raw ore.

[0087] The pulp during flotation is Figure 2 shown.
