Collophanite in south China generally has a high MgO level, which negatively impacts wet-process phosphoric acid production and cannot be utilized directly. A novel mixed fatty acid soap (GSWF01) was employed as a collector for dolomite. A single reverse flotation experiment was performed on a dolomitic collophanite from Guizhou, China under different pH and collector dosages. A phosphate concentrate with P2O5 grade of 33.73%, MgO content of 1.07%, MER value (ω(MgO+Al2O3+Fe2O3)/ω(P2O5)) of 4.86% and phosphorus recovery of 91.06% was obtained. The beneficiation indexes of GSWF01 were better than that of sodium oleate (NaOL). The adsorption behavior and mechanism of GSWF01 on dolomite surface were investigated using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), atomic force microscope (AFM), infrared spectrometer (IR), and zeta potentiometer. The results revealed that GSWF01 chemically reacted with metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.) on the surface of dolomite to generate fatty acid salt precipitation (chemisorption). The adsorbed layer transitioned from dense to loose in two stages, resulting in a stable double-layer adsorption structure. Moreover, in a weak acidic solution environment, physical adsorption of fatty acid molecules (RCOOH ((aq)) and fatty acid ion-molecular association compounds (RCOOH• RCOO-) generated by hydrolysis can also occur on the dolomite surface. These are the main reasons for the hydrophobic floating of dolomite. This is of great significance to the development of a novel high-efficiency dolomite collector and the enhancement of flotation process for carbonate collophanite.

To explore the influence of reagents addition sequence of the pH regulator and the starch depressant on the anionic reverse flotation of iron oxide, flotation conditional experiments were performed on mixed low-intensity and high-gradient magnetic concentrates which is the flotation feed acquired from the iron processing plant. Besides, quartz crystal micro-balance with dissipative (QCM-D) was conducted to detect the adsorption phenomena of the flotation reagent on iron oxide sensors at different addition orders. The outcomes showed that the flotation performance using the pH regulator prior to the depressant was the best. For example, at 1.6 kg/Mg starch dosage, the recovery and separation efficiencies were improved by 18.3% and 21.2%, respectively, with keeping the concentrate Fe grade as high as 69.5%. Also, QCM-D frequency shifted by -41 Hz from 17 Hz to -24 Hz with increased dissipation from -2.6 x 10-6 to 8.2 x 10-6, indicating an increase in the mass of slightly-rigid starch adsorption layer on the surface of iron oxide under a strong alkaline condition with adsorption density of about 0.46 mg/cm2. On the other hand, under weak alkaline conditions, starch was adsorbed, and then the starch was desorbed upon the addition of the strong alkaline solution. Whereas, adding the pH modifier to create a strong alkaline condition enhanced the starch adsorption significantly with coordination and hydrogen bonds, and prevented the following adsorption of the anionic collector for more efficient reverse flotation of iron oxide minerals.

Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D) was firstly applied to investigate the adsorption mechanism of sodium oleate on TiO2 coated sensor surface. The effects of pH value, sodium oleate concentration, and temperature on TiO2 coated sensor surface were evaluated systematically using the QCM-D technique. Zeta potential, surface tension, adsorption isotherms, and adsorption thermodynamics were employed to characterize the adsorption process. The results showed the advantages of QCM-D on the investigation of the adsorption process. Additionally, the electrostatic equilibrium adsorption data was well matched to the Langmuir isotherm. Based on the thermodynamic analysis, adsorption was a spontaneous and endothermic physisorption process.
