Interaction Features of Sodium Oleate and Oxyethylated Phosphoric Acid Esters with the Apatite Surface

Abstract

Apatite ores are the most important phosphate materials used for the agricultural and livestock chemical production. With the global demand for phosphorous compounds, apatite and other phosphorus-bearing ores are being depleted. The main method of apatite ore enrichment at the moment is the flotation process, the efficiency of which depends on complex heterogeneous processes occurring at the boundary of three phases (“liquid–gas”, “solid–liquid”, and “solid–gas”). Significant influence on the process have the flotation modes and composition of the reagent mixture, which provide a synergistic effect. The purpose of this work was to investigate the reasons for the synergism of surfactants used in apatite ore flotation with fatty acid-based collectors. The object of the study is a monomineral fraction of apatite, separated from the apatite-nepheline ore of Khibiny deposits. In the course of the work, it was found that the mixture of sodium oleate and phospholane PE65 has a synergistic effect on the mineral surface of apatite during foam flotation. The ratio of reagents was determined at which the maximum synergistic effect was observed.

The Physicochemical Basis for the Production of Rapeseed Oil Fatty Acid Esters in a Plug Flow Reactor

“…Regarding the apparatus design process, the simplest and most common method used in the industry is the batch reactor of ideal mixing, which is a vessel with a heating element [62,63] and a stirring device [54,64]. Continuous reactors are also widely used in industry-flow-through apparatuses that enable a constant supply of reagents and product withdrawal [64][65][66]. A promising direction for improving reactor design is the development and introduction of membrane reactors that combine the chemical conversion process with a membrane separation process for adding reactants or removing reaction products [67].…”

Thermodynamic studу of ethyl alcohol sorption on activated petroleum coke

“…(Bandosz et al, 1996;Behera et al, 2008;Delgado et al, 2015) The process of sorption on carbon materials is complex, since many factors, such as speci c surface area, pore size, surface homogeneity, etc. will affect the kinetics and thermodynamics of the process (Baran et al, 2014;Sergeev et al, 2022;Takanohashi et al, 2000a).…”
