Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of kaolinite by flotation, in particular a process by which kaolin and feldspar can be separated in the finest grain area and both minerals can be obtained in high yield in pure form.
- Kaolinite is a naturally occurring industrial mineral, for whose diverse and different applications as filler in the paper and ceramic industry, in the plastics industry, in the production of paints, varnishes, rubber and cables, there is a growing and increasing demand.
- Kaolinite arises from exogenous (weather, groundwater) and endogenous (hydrothermal hot solutions, deep vapors) influences with predominantly acidic pH values from feldspar (Ullmanns Encyclopedia of Technical Chemistry, Volume 13, page 509 (1977)).
- feldspar Ullmanns Encyclopedia of Technical Chemistry, Volume 13, page 509 (1977)
- High quality demands on the kaolinite product in terms of purity are more difficult to meet, the higher in existing and newly developed ones Kaolinite deposits are the proportions of not yet kaolinized feldspar and quartz. Kaolinite must be selectively separated from these accompanying rocks.
- raw kaolin which in addition to the main mineral kaolinite mostly also contains feldspar, quartz and various iron and titanium minerals, is usually carried out by wet processes in which the kaolinite-containing raw earth is suspended in water.
- the following separation process is based on a separation of the different mineral components according to the grain size and the specific weight. Since the minerals quartz and feldspar accompanying the kaolinite are generally coarser ("antiparallel grain distribution"), it is possible to satisfactorily separate the coarser quartz and feldspar from kaolinite down to grain sizes of 20 ⁇ m (cf. M. Clement and HM Tröndle; Erzmetall 22 , H. 3, 131 (1969)).
- feldspar is a raw material that is sought after in the ceramic industry
- the separation of kaolinite and feldspar from raw kaolin is aimed at obtaining a feldspar product in addition to the purest possible kaolinite, which has high standards for industrial use in glass and Ceramic industry is enough.
- mechanical separation processes in aqueous turbidity are used for this.
- the effectiveness of such separation processes reaches a limit if the grain sizes of kaolinite and feldspar are very close to each other in the fine grain range, since the specific weight of the two minerals (approx. 2.58 g / cm3) is practical is equal to.
- Flotation processes are used in mineral cleaning practice to remove heavy metal oxides, such as oxides of iron and titanium, from kaolinite and thus improve the whiteness of the product.
- Hydrochlorides and hydroacetates of long-chain aliphatic amines were used as collectors in acidic turbidity.
- the area of fine grain size of both mineral particles is of particular interest for the treatment of aqueous turbidity containing kaolinite and feldspar; So far, it has not been possible to separate the two minerals in this grain range on an industrial scale. In practice, however, this area plays an outstanding role in that mineral deposits with a particle size distribution of 90% less than 30 ⁇ m for kaolinite and 10% less than 30 ⁇ m for feldspar are obtained when washing out the deposits containing kaolinite and feldspar.
- Kaolins suitable for use in ceramics even have a fine grain fraction (less than 2 ⁇ m) of 50% and more. In the range of these grain sizes, selective flotation in aqueous turbidity causes great problems. The direct flotation for the separation of kaolinite and feldspar in this grain area has not yet been described.
- polyvalent cations are adsorbed on the surfaces of the mineral particles which are suspended in the aqueous slurry and the floatability these can influence mineral particles within wide limits (B. Dobias, 6th International Congress for Surfactants, Zurich 1972, page 563 (1973)).
- polyvalent cations are able to react with the collector surfactant to form complex compounds or poorly soluble precipitates, and in this way remove the surfactant from the desired adsorption process on the surface of the mineral particles.
- this reduces the flotation yield unless increased amounts of the collector surfactant are used.
- one and the same multivalent cation can have both activating and deactivating effects in the flotation of mineral particles for the selected collector (surfactant).
- surfactant When which of the two properties dominates can only be determined empirically. As a rule, these effects, whose mechanisms of action are not fully known in detail, are more disruptive than beneficial in the flotation process itself. Preventing the undesired effect of polyvalent cations in the flotation process is therefore a special problem in the preparation of the respective minerals.
- the activating or deactivating ("pressing") effect of polyvalent metal cations on silicate minerals is known in part from the literature.
- Chemical Abstracts 68 , 116 041x (1968) reports that aluminum, iron and calcium ions have an activating effect in the flotation of quartz, Have feldspar and sillimanite. If the concentration of iron (III) and aluminum (III) salts is increased to values above 300 mg per liter, the activating effect of silicate flotation will decrease significantly in acidic and alkaline pH ranges.
- the invention therefore relates to a process for the selective separation of kaolinite and feldspar by flotation in aqueous slurry, which is characterized in that the flotation is carried out at a pH of the slurry, which occurs naturally when the mineral mixture is slurried in water water-soluble salts with trivalent metal ions as activators and depressors and in the presence of anionic surfactants as collectors and, if appropriate, with the addition of foams and / or foam regulators.
- the pH at which the process is carried out according to the invention is generally in the range between 5 and 8. This pH then results if the solid mineral mixtures are slurried in tap water or fully demineralized water or the mineral mixture is washed out of the rock under high pressure with water jet and brought to light.
- activating acids for example hydrohalic acid or sulfuric acid
- salts of trivalent metal ions are also added to the aqueous slurries as activators or depressors.
- Salts or polysalts of aluminum and iron (III) salts are used.
- the sulfuric salts of trivalent metals are used with advantage.
- the concentration of the salts is in the range from 50 to 2000 g / t, preferably 100 to 1000 g / t, based on the anhydrous metal salt.
- Aluminum salts for example aluminum sulfate, are particularly preferably used according to the present invention. It has been found that the Al (III) ion has an activating action on kaolinite and a deactivating action on feldspar in aqueous turbidity at pH values in the range from 5 to 8. By adding aluminum salts to the aqueous slurry, concentrates with a higher kaolinite concentration are obtained during flotation. At the same time, the kaolinite output is increased, so that feldspar with a higher purity is also obtained as a flotation residue.
- Anionic surfactants can be used as collectors in the process according to the invention.
- the use of aluminum ions in the separation of kaolinite and feldspar obtained by flotation enables, in particular, a process with the addition of anionic surfactants as collectors.
- the flotation with anionic collectors has surprisingly been found to be particularly advantageous over the flotation with cationic surfactants in that heavy mineral components present in the ore can be separated from the kaolinite before the flotation, which leads to a higher degree of whiteness of the kaolinite concentrate and also an improved quality of the feldspar residue.
- the subsequent processing of the kaolinite is facilitated in that anionic surfactants can be more easily desorbed from the surface of the kaolinite particles than cationic surfactants. It should also be borne in mind that anionic surfactants should be preferred over cationic surfactants due to their environmental behavior alone.
- the concentration of surfactants used as collectors according to the invention is in the range from 50 to 2000 g / t, preferably from 100 to 1000 g / t.
- auxiliaries known to be used in flotation can be added for the separation of kaolinite and feldspar from the aqueous slurry caused by flotation.
- auxiliaries are foaming agents on the one hand or anti-foaming agents on the other hand, which, in contrast to methods known from the prior art, are not absolutely necessary.
- the first component is floated in the mineral mixture of kaolinite and feldspar, while feldspar with surprisingly high purity is obtained as a flotation residue in comparison with processes from the prior art.
- the respective flotation steps are repeated, depending on the quality requirements for the products, a selective separation of the two components being achieved, particularly in the fine grain area.
- a further post-cleaning step is sufficient to obtain concentrates with a kaolinite content between 93 and 97%.
- the kaolinite fraction obtained by flotation is worked up in subsequent process steps.
- the surfactants adsorbed on the surface are desorbed.
- the binding of the surfactant molecule to the negatively charged surface of the kaolinite particles takes place via the ion bridges consisting of trivalent metal ions, so that the anionic surfactants can be desorbed more easily from the surface of the kaolinite than cationic surfactant molecules.
- Another advantage of the process according to the invention is that the flotation of kaolinite caused by anionic surfactants in the presence of trivalent metal ions, preferably aluminum (III) ions, is largely independent of the water hardness and of the turbidity content of indifferent electrolytes.
- Divalent ions for example calcium or magnesium ions, also improve the selectivity in the flotation of the kaolinite / feldspar mineral mixture, but this effect only occurs at very high ion concentrations, which would make the addition of the ions mentioned to the flotation cloudy uneconomical.
- the quartz content of the raw products in question for the flotative separation of kaolinite and feldspar is due to a previously passed through Separation process extremely low, so that quartz does not have to be separated.
- the flotation tests were carried out in a Humboldt-Wedag laboratory flotation cell of 1 l or 2 l content with a kaolinite / feldspar / quartz fraction with a particle size of 90% less than 20 ⁇ m. This fraction was taken from the intermediate stage of a conventional kaolinite processing plant.
- the selectivity of the flotation ie the content of kaolinite and feldspar in the concentrate or in the flotation residue, was determined using the known method of loss on ignition (DIN 51 081 for testing ceramic raw materials by changing the weight during annealing (July 1979)).
- the flotation was carried out with an anionic collector (sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate) in the absence (Example 1) or in the presence (Examples 2 to 4) of activating additives.
- an anionic collector sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate
- Example 1 sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate
