Enhanced sulfidation of chrysocolla with ammonium carbamate and its effect on flotation

Wang Ziang, Wu Dandan, Cao Jing, Chen Huiqin

Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing

2023

Vol. 59, iss. 3

atr. no. 168573

In this study, flotation experiments, zeta potential, XPS, AFM, SEM-EDS, and contact angle measurements were performed to study the influence of ammonium carbamate (CH6N2O2) on the sulfidation flotation of chrysocolla. The results of the sulfidation flotation experiments showed that the recovery of chrysocolla increased more than 40% on the optimal condition after adding ammonium carbamate. In addition, the zeta potential of samples with ammonium carbamate was clearly higher than ores for pH > 6, which was due to the complexation reaction between ammonium carbamate and copper ion on the surface of chrysocolla samples. The activity of copper adsorption has also been improved. Furthermore, the XPS data indicated that the content of Cu-S compounds on the mineral surface has been significantly enhanced after ammonium carbamate complex sulfidation. The chemical analysis of the solution led to the same conclusion. The AFM results showed that ammonium carbamate had a positive impact on the adsorption of minerals surface, and increased the flotation recovery. It can be deduced from the SEM-EDS analysis that the surface of chrysocolla better combined with S-, and more Cu-S components were generated on the surface, which led to 1.04% increase of S atomic concentration. Finally, the contact angle measurements showed that the water contact angle of chrysocolla after adding ammonium carbamate could reach 90.4°, which proved that the sulfidation improved the floatability of the chrysocolla sample.

Enhancement of xanthate adsorption on chrysocolla surface via sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) modification

Liu Dan, Wang Daqian, Xian Yongjun, Tian Xiaosong, Wen Shuming

Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing

2022

Vol. 58, iss. 6

art. no. 152599

Chrysocolla is a kind of copper oxide mineral which was difficult to float. In this study, Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) was employed to modify the surface of chrysocolla to improve its xanthate adsorption and floatability. Flotation experiments showed that the DDTC exhibited ability to activate rather than acting as a collector for chrysocolla flotation. After DDTC activation, chrysocolla can be effectively recovered by xanthate. The activation mechanism of DDTC was investigated via Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). During the activation, DDTC bonded to the surface copper atoms of chrysocolla, and more Cu(II) species on the mineral surface were reduced to Cu(I) species, which caused the formation of larger amounts of Cu active sites as –N–C(=S)S–Cu(II)– and Cu(I) species. The results of the adsorption tests and zeta potential measurements revealed that the DDTC-modified mineral surface reinforced adsorption of xanthate ions, thereby improving the chrysocolla floatability. Therefore, the Cu ions double interaction of DDTC and xanthate on the chrysocolla surfaces enhanced the strength and stability of the hydrophobic layer, resulting in an enhanced hydrophobization of the chrysocolla for its flotation.
