mechanism - Opis:
- Ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) exhibits promoting effects in malachite sulfidization flotation. However, the promotion mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, micro-flotation tests, zeta-potential measurements, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and materials studio simulation (DFT) were used to investigated the promotion mechanism of $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. Micro-flotation test demonstrates that the recovery of malachite from 73% increased to 83%, when the (NH4)2SO4 was added. Contact angle and zeta potential test results indicate that addition of $Na_2S•9H_2O$ changes the surface properties of malachite and provide the conditions for adsorption of butyl xanthate (BX). After promoting the sulfidization by $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, BX is more effective in improving the hydrophobicity. SEM-EDS and AFM results show that $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ can improve performance and stability of sulfidization. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that after sulfidization, polysulfides and cuprous were appeared in malachite surface, infers that a redox reaction occurs between sulfur and copper on the surface of malachite. After addition of $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, the percentage of polysulfides and cuprous were increased, it implies $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ can accelerate the redox reaction. Computational results show that after adding $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, the adsorption energy of HS- on the malachite surface is reduced, implies that $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ can improve the stability of HS-adsorption on the surface of malachite.
