Research on the Hydrophilicity of Non-Coal Kaolinite and Coal Kaolinite from the Viewpoint of Experiments and DFT Simulations

Coal is often coated by coal kaolinite in flotation, resulting in an increase in concentrate ash. The natural hydrophilicity of minerals is the key factor to determining its flotation behavior. The results of studies on the contact angle of non-coal kaolinite and coal kaolinite samples found that th...
