Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal preparation, and in particular to a composite collector for coal preparation and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Low-rank coal, such as lignite and low-quality bituminous coal, typically has high ash, sulfur, and moisture contents, low volatile matter, and low calorific value, making it difficult to meet the requirements for efficient combustion. Therefore, flotation upgrading of low-rank coal has become an important means to increase its economic value and utilization rate.
[0003] Flotation upgrading utilizes the differences in hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of mineral surfaces to separate coal from impurities (such as mineral impurities, ash, and sulfur) using bubbles to increase coal purity and calorific value. Collectors and frothers play a crucial role in the flotation process.
[0004] Coal preparation collectors (also called flotation collectors) are chemical additives used in the coal flotation process. Their primary function is to promote the flotation separation of coal particles. They modify the surface properties of coal particles, allowing them to bind with air bubbles during flotation, thereby floating to the surface of the slurry and separating the coal from impurities. Existing coal preparation collectors primarily target non-polar hydrocarbon oils such as kerosene, diesel, natural gas condensate, and fuel oil. The present invention aims to provide a new coal preparation collector. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes a composite coal preparation collector and a preparation method thereof, which improves the yield of clean coal.

[0010] Preferably, the steps of the method for preparing 2-hexadecyl octadecanoic acid amide betaine are as follows: S11: reacting 2-hexadecanoic acid and N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propylenediamine in a reactor to obtain an intermediate 2-hexadecanoic acid amidopropyl tertiary amine; S12: reflux 2-hexadecyl octadecanoic acid amide propyl tertiary amine and sodium chloroacetate solution for 5-10 hours, and obtain 2-hexadecyl octadecanoic acid amide betaine after separation and purification.
