[0029] Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 1 provides a method for separating quartz and feldspar in minerals with a feldspar content higher than that of quartz. The specific steps are as follows: Prepare a mineral slurry with a weight concentration of 300 g / L, adjust the pH to 8-9, and add it to a flotation machine. Add hydrofluoric acid to the slurry at a rate of 2000 g / t based on the mineral weight. Stir for 3 minutes. Add dodecylamine as a collector at a rate of 1000 g / t based on the mineral weight. Stir for 3 minutes. Add 2-octanol as a frother at a rate of 100 g / t based on the mineral weight. After 1 minute, begin aeration and frothing, with a maximum concentration of 0.35 m. 3 / (m 2The rotation speed is 2100 r / min, the foam scraping time is 3-5 min, the foam is collected, washed and dried to obtain feldspar, and the remaining tailings are filtered and dried to obtain quartz concentrate.
[0030] In this comparative example, the flotation machine used is the XFD-II type mechanically stirred single-cell flotation machine, and the mineral used is quartz ore with a feldspar content of 75% and a quartz content of 23%.
[0031] Testing and Inspection (1) The purity of the quartz concentrates obtained in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Example 1 was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, as shown in Table 1 below.
[0032] Table 1:
[0033] (2) The separation efficiency of feldspar tailings and quartz concentrate obtained in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Example 1 was calculated by measuring the recovery rate and purity of quartz concentrate, as shown in Table 2 below.
[0034] Table 2:
[0035] Results Analysis The following detailed description of this application is based on the experimental results provided in Table 1-2.
[0036] As shown in Table 1, the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitors prepared in Examples 1-3 were used to inhibit feldspar in quartz ore with a feldspar content of 75% and a quartz content of 23%. After quartz flotation, the purity of the target product, quartz concentrate, reached over 97.84%. The environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitor prepared in Example 1 was used to separate quartz and feldspar, and the purity of the resulting quartz concentrate reached 98.56%. This indicates that a molar ratio of tannic acid to ferrous chloride of 3:1 is beneficial to improving the purity of the quartz concentrate obtained when using it to separate quartz and feldspar during the preparation of the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitor. This is because the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitor prepared in Example 1 has a better inhibitory effect on feldspar than the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitors in Examples 2 and 3. Compared to the use of hydrofluoric acid to suppress quartz in quartz ore with a feldspar content of 75% and a quartz content of 23% in Example 4, the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitor prepared in Example 1 significantly improved the purity of the target product, quartz concentrate, and increased the grade of the obtained quartz concentrate. At the same time, the amount of the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitor used was less than one-fifth of that used for hydrofluoric acid, and the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitor did not contain fluorine, which greatly reduced the difficulty and cost of treating the waste liquid after use and the degree of environmental pollution, making it green and environmentally friendly.
[0037] Referring to Table 2, the method of Comparative Example 1 was used to separate quartz and feldspar in minerals with a feldspar content higher than quartz content, with a separation efficiency of only 69%. However, in Examples 4-6, when the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitors prepared in Examples 1-3 were applied to separate quartz and feldspar in minerals with a feldspar content higher than quartz content, the separation efficiency reached over 80%, greatly increasing the separation efficiency of quartz and feldspar in minerals with a feldspar content higher than quartz content. In Example 4, which applied the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitor prepared in Example 1, the separation efficiency of feldspar and quartz reached 86%.
[0038] In summary, the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitors of Examples 1-3 of this application, when applied to the separation of quartz and feldspar in minerals with a feldspar content higher than that of quartz using the methods of Examples 4-6, not only improve the purity and grade of the target product, quartz concentrate, but also enhance the separation efficiency of quartz and feldspar. Furthermore, the environmentally friendly feldspar supramolecular inhibitors are themselves green and environmentally friendly, requiring significantly less dosage compared to hydrofluoric acid, resulting in lower cost and less pollution.
[0039] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
