AI Technical Summary
Existing collectors have problems such as difficulty in contact, weak adsorption, and easy detachment when treating flaky lithium mica, resulting in low concentrate recovery rate and difficulty in effectively separating and enriching this type of mineral.
A compound collector consisting of a main collector, a synergistic collector, an anionic synergist, a penetrating wetting agent, and an adsorption stabilizer is used. Through molecular design and compounding, the contact probability with the stacked lithium iron phosphate mica is increased, the adsorption bond force is strengthened, and the stability of the adsorption layer is improved.
It significantly improves the separation efficiency and flotation recovery rate of stacked lithium iron ore mica, forms a strong hydrophobic adsorption layer, reduces the loss of coarse particles in tailings, and improves concentrate grade and recovery rate.
