Synergistic effects between fatty acids and non-ionic reagents for the selective flotation of scheelite from a complex tungsten skarn ore

چکیده

Tungsten skarns today represent >40% of the global tungsten reserves although their processing is usually difficult due to fine textures, low grade, and complex mineralogical association. Notably, selective flotation scheelite from gangue calcium minerals, particularly fluorite, using fatty acids still remains an industrial scientific challenge. In present work, we investigated influence pH, chain length unsaturation degree, mixing with different structures, non-ionic reagents on selectivity towards scheelite. Four were tested in micro-flotation at optimal pH 9. We demonstrated that short-length do not afford a good floatability while sodium oleate always exhibits very fluorite. Meanwhile, linoleate stearate more equilibrated properties. When are mixed, saturated unsaturated acids, increases, which is, however, favour fluorite whole studied range. However, introduction non-commercial unsaturated-fatty-acid-based mixtures did increase significantly tests conducted Tabuaço skarn ore. Though, use tall oil comprising provided better between compared classical formulations, it was enough attain satisfactory Finally, isotridecanol, alcohol, commercial formulations afforded significant scheelite, allowed attaining unprecedented WO3 grade 45.2% 56.5% recovery cleaning concentrate.

Synergetic Effect of the Mixed Anionic/Non-Ionic Collectors in Low Temperature Flotation of Scheelite

The synergetic effect of four octaphenyl polyoxyethyienes (TX) on low temperature flotation of scheelite at 9–11 ◦C was investigated through flotation experiments, and the adsorption mechanism was studied by way of surface tension, zeta potential, and adsorption measurement. The results show that the presence of the four octaphenyl polyoxyethyienes can improve scheelite flotation in a low conce...

< 250 words) Although skarn ores are one of the largest metal resources in Europe, its processing is often challenging due to a very fine grained and intergrown mineralization. Other challenges have to be overcome if the valuable minerals are tungsten bearing minerals (i.e. scheelite or wolframite) due to their brittleness which requires to carefully design the beneficiation flowsheet in order ...

Synergistic Interaction between Oxides of Copper and Iron for Production of Fatty Alcohols from Fatty Acids

The selective hydrogenation of fatty acids to fatty alcohols can be achieved under moderate conditions (180 °C, 30 bar H2) by simultaneously supporting copper and iron oxides on mesoporous silica nanoparticles. The activity of the cosupported oxides is significantly higher than that of each supported metal oxide and of a physical mixture of both individually supported metal oxides. A strong int...
