摘要

Mineral separation by flotation is based on controlling the hydrophobicity of the particulate materials to be separated. The most widely used measure of hydrophobicity is the water contact angles, θ, which are usually measured on polished mineral surfaces using either the sessile drop or captive bubble technique. It is well known qualitatively that the larger the θ of a mineral, the faster it floats. It has also been recognized that flotation rate is significantly affected by the ζ potentials of the particles. However, most of the flotation models reported in the literature failed to predict the flotation rates (or recoveries) from the values of such parameters. A new approach has, therefore, been taken to develop a flotation model, which incorporates various surface chemistry parameters. It is based on utilizing the results of the surface force measurements conducted in recent years using the surface force apparatus (SFA), atomic force microscope (AFM) and thin film balance (TFB) techniques. They can provide information on the changes in surface forces across the boundary layers surrounding air bubbles and mineral particles in aqueous media. In the present work, surface force profiles were constructed from the knowledge of three component surface forces (i.e., electrostatic, dispersion and hydrophobic forces), assuming that they are additive. The force profiles were then used to determine the force barriers for bubble-particle interactions, which can be readily converted to energy barriers using the Derijaguin approximation. By relating the energy barriers to the kinetic energies of the bubble-particle interactions, it is possible to predict flotation rates starting from various surface chemistry parameters such as contact angle, ζ potential, Hamaker constant, and surface tension.
