A Study of the Flocculation of Pure Goethtte, Quartz, and Kaolinite and the Selective Flocculation of Agbaja Iron Ore Part I. Adsorption of Cassava Starch on Pure Goethite, Quartz, and Kaolinite

Means are developed to improve the metal ion delivery/remediation potential of polyacrylamides (PAMs), by incorporation of the co-monomer N-acryloyl-4-aminosalicylic acid. The polymers were synthesized by solution and inverse emulsion polymerization. The chemical binding of two soil micronutrients, Cu2+ and Fe3+, were investigated using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The modified PAM had an enhanced affinity for metal ions compared with conventional PAMs. This modified PAM has the potential as a delivery tool of plant micronutrients and stabilizers for agricultural soils undergoing intense irrigation. The same polymers may also provide a detoxifying effect in these applications where some micronutrient sources may be in excess and detrimental to productive agriculture.
