Polyacrylic Acid to Improve Flotation Tailings Management: Understanding the Chemical Interactions through Molecular Dynamics

Polyacrylic Acid to Improve Flotation Tailings Management: Understanding the Chemical Interactions through Molecular Dynamics

Molecular dynamic simulations of polyacrylic acid polyelectrolyte (PAA) analyzed its interaction with the main minerals that make up characteristic tailings of the mining industry, in this case, quartz, kaolinite, and montmorillonite. The simulations were carried out with the package Gromacs 2020.3....
