Enhancement of Flotation Performance of Oxidized Coal by the Mixture of Laurylamine Dipropylene Diamine and Kerosene
Conventional hydrocarbon oil cannot adhere effectively to oxidized coal, resulting in a low yield of clean coal. In this study, a high-speed homogenizer was used to emulsify LDD (laurylamine dipropylene diamine) and kerosene, which enhanced the flotation efficiency of oxidized coal. The flotation re...

description | Conventional hydrocarbon oil cannot adhere effectively to oxidized coal, resulting in a low yield of clean coal. In this study, a high-speed homogenizer was used to emulsify LDD (laurylamine dipropylene diamine) and kerosene, which enhanced the flotation efficiency of oxidized coal. The flotation results showed an increase from 4.12% (only kerosene) to 23.33% (emulsified oil). An increase in contact angle indicated that the mixture reagent can increase the hydrophobicity of coal particles, which is attributed to the adsorption of LDD onto the coal particle surface and the decrease of the oil droplet A lower surface tension of LDD allows it to produce a stable layer of froth than the layer generated by kerosene alone. |
