| description | Abstract Dodecylamine is one of the most commonly used amine collectors for the reverse flotation of magnesite ore. Through a combination of experimental research and computational simulation, the effect of n-octanol on the removal of impurities by the reverse flotation of magnesite ore was studied. The test results show that when the dosage of dodecylamine was 60 mg/L, the flotation rates of magnesite and dolomite were 59.53% and 58.02%, respectively, and the flotation rate of quartz was 97.60%. In the presence of n-octanol, the flotation rate of magnesite decreased to 56.41%, and the flotation rates of dolomite and quartz increased to 61.30% and 99.59%, respectively. The test results show that the addition of n-octanol can improve the selectivity of minerals under the same amount of collector. The adsorption of dodecylamine (dodecylamine and n-octanol) on the surface of magnesite, dolomite and quartz was simulated using quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and implemented in the CASTEP module of Materials Studio. The results show that dodecylamine can adsorb to magnesite, dolomite and quartz, and the adsorption effect was strongest on quartz. After adding n-octanol, the population value of the bond between the agent and magnesite decreased from 0.19 to 0.17, indicating that the adsorption effect of the agent on magnesite was weakened. The population value of the bond between the drug and dolomite increased from 0.19 to 0.23, indicating that the adsorption effect of the drug on dolomite was enhanced. H28, H29, and H2 in the drug form bonds with O12, O20, and O20 on the surface of quartz (101), respectively, and the population values were 0.43, 0.25, and 0.09, respectively. The adsorption sites of the drug and the quartz were increased, and the adsorption effect of the quartz was markedly improved. The test and simulation results show that the dosage of the agent can be reduced in the presence of n-octanol. N-octanol is not only beneficial to the removal of silicon by amine reverse flotation but also has a certain beneficial effect on the removal of calcium by reverse flotation. |
