Polymers in the Depression, Aggregation and Dispersion of Particles in the Mineral Industry

矿物工业中聚合物对颗粒的抑制、聚集和分散。该项目的目的是使用通用方法来选择最适合特定应用的聚合物，例如在矿物工业中颗粒的抑制，聚集和分散。一个“工具箱”的特殊测试将开发的基础上，在每个应用程序考虑的聚合物和主机固体表面之间的关键化学结构固体表面活性的关系。潜在的工艺改进将导致浮选等级的提高、细粒回收率的提高、管道中浆料吞吐量的增加和试剂剂量的减少。

Polymers in the Depression, Aggregation and Dispersion of Particles in the Mineral Industry. The aim of this project is to use a generic approach to the selection of the best-suited polymer for specific applications such as in the depression, aggregation and dispersion of particles in the mineral industry. A "tool box" of particular tests will be developed based on key chemical structure-solid surface activity relationships between the polymer and the host solid surface in each application considered. Potential process improvements leading to improved flotation grades, increased fine particle recovery, increased slurry throughput in pipelines and decrease in reagent dosage will result.
