In this study, three kinds of anionic collectors (sodium oleate (NaOl), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) and naphthenic acid (NA)) were used in combination with dodecylamine (DDA) to investigate the flotation behavior of muscovite under the action of different mixed anionic/cationic collectors, and their mechanisms for adsorption on the muscovite (001) Surface were clarified using molecular dynamics simulations. The flotation results indicated that different mixed anionic/cationic collectors could improve the recovery of muscovite to varying degrees, but the optimum molar ratio of anionic collectors to DDA and the optimum mixed collector dosage were different. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the mixed anionic/cationic collectors could significantly increase the hydrophobicity of the muscovite, as evidenced by the decrease in the calculated water molecule density on the muscovite surface and the diffusion coefficient of water molecules at the solid/liquid interface. The interaction between the amino group and the polar group of anionic collectors reduced the electrostatic repulsion between DDA cations and theoretically increased the adsorption capacity of the mixed anionic/cationic collectors on the muscovite surface. Moreover, DDA/NA and DDA/NaOl could improve the calculated carbon atom density on the muscovite surface, which enhanced the hydrophobic association between nonpolar carbon chains, thus further achieving an enhanced flotation performance.

By researching the nonmetallic minerals in molybdenum tailings, this paper investigated the possible application of sodium dodecyl glycinate (SD) to deslimed tailings as an alternative to the large dosage and complex flotation reagent systems of conventional combination collectors (dodecylamine and sodium oleate). The floatability differences of nonmetallic minerals under different SD dosages were analyzed via pure mineral flotation experiments, and the adsorption behavior of SD onto different mineral surfaces was analyzed by quantum chemical calculations. The results of the calculated adsorption structures and energies of the different mineral surfaces show that SD was chemically adsorbed onto the albite (001), phlogopite (010), diopside (110), dolomite (101), calcite (104) and calcite (101) surfaces and that physical adsorption occurred at the phlogopite (001) surface. The corresponding adsorption trend was dolomite > calcite > diopside > albite > phlogopite. These results theoretically verify the feasibility of applying SD to the flotation of nonmetallic minerals in tailings and provide a basis for the selection of inhibitors needed for separating phlogopite from other minerals. In the flotation of deslimed molybdenum tailings, the recoveries of the nonmetallic minerals achieved with SD were close to those in pure mineral flotation, which was greater than the recoveries achieved with dodecylamine and sodium oleate (NaOl), and the dosage was reduced by approximately 25%.
