Enhanced inhibition of talc flotation using acidified sodium silicate and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as the combined inhibitor

The flotation separation of chalcopyrite and talc is challenging due to their similar natural floatability characteristics.Besides,it is usually difficult to effectively inhibit talc by adding sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)alone during chalcopyrite flotation.Here,a combined inhibitor comprising acidified sodium silicate(ASS)and CMC was employed to realize effective flotation separation of chalcopyrite and talc,and the combined inhibition mechanism was further investigated.Microflotation results showed that adding ASS strengthened the inhibitory effect of CMC on talc and improved the separation of chalcopyrite and talc.The zeta potential,Fourier transform infrared,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicated that CMC was mainly adsorbed on the talc surface via hydroxyl and carboxyl groups.Moreover,the addition of ASS improved the adsorption of carboxyl groups.Furthermore,the adsorption experiments and apparent viscosity measurements revealed that adding ASS dispersed the pulp well,which reduced the apparent viscosity,improved the adsorption amount of CMC on the talc surface,and enhanced the inhibition of talc in chalcopyrite flotation.

Using pectin to separate talc and molybdenite through the surface modification with Cu^(2+):Applications and mechanism

Organic depressants have low selectivity in separating molybdenite and talc because their metal sites lack activity for organics chemisorption.In this study,surface modification by copper sulfate was used to induce the differential adsorption of pectin onto molybdenite and talc surfaces for enhanced flotation separation.Contact-angle experiments,scanning electron microscopy,adsorption measurements,timeof-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses were conducted to reveal the interaction mechanism.Results illustrated that molybdenite and talc could not be separated using pectin alone,while molybdenite was selectively depressed after surface modification by copper sulfate and this effect was strengthened under alkaline conditions.Metal sites(Mg,Si and Mo)of talc and molybdenite themselves were unable to react with pectin,whereas Cu+would deposit and further function as active site for pectin chemisorption after surface modification.However,the quantity of deposited Cu sites dropped on talc surface and increased on molybdenite surface with increased pH,and the Mo atoms of molybdenite crystal were activated to take part in pectin chemisorption.Therefore,more pectin was adhered on molybdenite surface,which imparted molybdenite stronger wettability.Herein,surface-modification through metal ions can enable the differential adsorption of organic depressants and enhance the flotation separation of minerals.

Selective depression behavior of guar gum on talc-type scheelite flotation

The depression behavior and mechanism of guar gum on talc-type scheelite flotation were systematically investigated by flotation experiments, adsorption tests, zeta-potential measurements, and infrared spectroscopic analyses. The flotation results for monominerals, mixed minerals, and actual mineral samples indicated that guar gum exhibited much higher selective depression for talc than for scheelite. Bench-scale closed-circuit tests showed that a tungsten concentrate with a WO_3 grade of 51.43% and a WO_3 recovery of 76.18% was obtained. Adsorption tests, zeta-potential measurements, and infrared spectral analyses confirmed that guar gum absorbed more strongly onto the talc surface than onto the scheelite surface because of chemisorption between guar gum and talc. This chemisorption is responsible for the guar gum's highly selective depression for talc and small depression for scheelite. The flotation results provide technical support for talc-type scheelite flotation.

Preparation of Ultra-nano Talcum in Sand Mill and Its Application in the Polypropylene

The grinding of ultra-fine talcum powder and its application in a polypropylene （PP） matrix were investigated. Ultra-fine talcum powder was prepared by adjusting the grinding parameters of the physical milling process. The talcum powder exhibited polymodal distribution. The layered morphology of talcum particles in a horizontal sand mill was rarely damaged or destroyed. PP-talcum nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending using a twin-screw extruder. Nano talcum can be seen as a single particle, although it is not very apparent. The bending strength of talcum-filled PP was gradually increased by approximately 28%. The impact strength linearly decreased as the filler weight ratio increased. The overall maximum improvement in mechanical properties was recorded when the filler ratios increased from 15 wt% to 20 wt%.

TMC-210与Talc联合对PLLA结晶调控及性能研究

为了克服聚乳酸(PLLA)结晶速率慢、专用单一成核剂(TMC-210)价格昂贵的不足,采用TMC-210与Talc(滑石粉)协同调控PLLA的结晶与性能,利用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)、X射线粉末衍射仪(XRD)、小角X射线散射仪(SAXS)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、偏光显微镜(POM)和力学性能测试评估了TMC-210联合Talc对PLLA结晶和力学性能的协同影响。结果表明,TMC-210和Talc协同改善了PLLA的结晶能力,使成核密度增加、结晶速率加快,晶体尺寸和长周期均减小,但对PLLA的结构和晶型没有影响。力学测试表明,在PLLA中同时添加质量分数为0.2%的TMC-210和质量分数为4%的Talc,PLLA/TMC-210/Talc三元共混物的断裂伸长率达到23.6%,比PLLA/TMC-210二元共混物提高了262%;当添加质量分数为0.2%的TMC-210和质量分数为1%的Talc时,PLLA/TMC-210/Talc三元共混物的韧性达到5.65kJ/m2的最大值,比PLLA/TMC-210二元共混物、PLLA分别提高了29.3%和210%。

Investigation of nano-talc as a filling material and a reinforcing agent in high density polyethylene (HDPE)

An experiment of producing high density polyethylene (HDPE) nano-composite filled with 4wt.% talc was presented. Acting as filler and a reinforcing agent in the HDPE, talc powder, sized at around 5 μm, was surface-treated with aluminum diethylene glycol dinitrate coupling agent before adding to the HDPE. Analyses of the reinforced HDPE nano-composite show significant improvement in its mechanical properties including, tensile strength (>26 MPa), break elongation (<1.1%), flexural strength (>22 MPa), and friction coefficients<0.11. The results demonstrate that, after surface-treated, talc can be used as a promising filling material and a reinforcing agent in making HDPE nano-composite.

Studies on the Structure and Properties of Cordierite Synthesized by Talc-Magnesite

Homogeneous cordierite has been synthesized at low cost by talc-magnesite and coal gangue as the main raw materials. The mechanism of synthesizing cordierite under such a composing system of raw materials, and the effect of temperature on the crystal cell parameters and microstructure and thermal expansion coefficient of cordierite crystal have been studied via testing methods of XRD, SEM, etc. The result shows that the homogeneous cordierite can be synthesized by the systematic composing materials of ＂talc-magnesite-coal gangue-talc＂ with heat pre-servation at 1350 ℃ for 1 h; as the keeping time is prolonged, Al^3＋ and Mg^2＋ in cordierite crystal are replaced by a few impurity ions such as Fe^3＋, Fe^2＋, etc., and the crystal cell parameters of cordierite present an increase trend; as the high-temperature heat preservation is prolonged, the content of glassy phase in the sample is increased, its density is improved, and its thermal expansion coefficient presents an increase trend.

A Talc-Based Cement-Poor Concrete for Sealing Boreholes in Rock

Deep investigation boreholes in crystalline rock for site selection of repositories for high-level radioactive waste are proposed to be sealed by installing a series of dense concrete and clay plugs. These should prevent radionuclides from leaking canisters at depth to migrate to the biosphere through the holes. The concrete seals will be installed where the holes intersect water-bearing fracture zones to serve as stable and low-permeable supports for adjacent clay plugs. Low porosity and microstructural stability must be guaranteed for many thousands of years and ordinary Portland cement with organic superplastizer will not fulfill the requirements since the high pH will cause degradation of contacting clay and the organic additive can produce colloids with a capacity to carry radionuclides up to the biosphere. Very cement-poor concrete (

Use of centrifugal-gravity concentration for rejection of talc and recovery improvement in base-metal flotation

The possibility of using a centrifugal-gravity concentrator to reject Mg-bearing minerals and minimize metal losses in the flotation of base metals was evaluated. Sample characterization, batch scoping tests, pilot-scale tests, and regrind-flotation tests were conducted on a Ni flotation tailings stream. Batch tests revealed that the Mg grade decreased dramatically in the concentrate products. Pilot-scale testing of a continuous centrifugal concentrator（Knelson CVD6） on the flotation tailings revealed that a concentrate with a low mass yield, low Mg content, and high Ni upgrade ratio could be achieved. Under optimum conditions, a concentrate at 6.7% mass yield was obtained with 0.85% Ni grade at 12.9% Ni recovery and with a low Mg distribution（1.7%）. Size partition curves demonstrated that the CVD also operated as a size classifier, enhancing the rejection of talc fines. Overall, the CVD was capable of rejecting Mg-bearing minerals. Moreover, an opportunity exists for the novel use of centrifugal-gravity concentration for scavenging flotation tailings and/or after comminution to minimize amount of Mg-bearing minerals reporting to flotation.

ELECTRORHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF TALC POWDER/SILICONE OIL SUSPENSIONS UNDER DC FIELDS

In this study, the electrorheological （ER） behavior of suspensions prepared from d50 = 2.4 lam talc powder, dispersed in insulating silicone oil （SO） medium was investigated. Sedimentation stabilities of suspensions （c = 5 wt%） prepared using these talc powder powders were determined to be 78 days. The ER activity of all the suspensions was observed to increase with increasing electric field strength, concentration and decreasing shear rate. The shear stress of talc powder suspensions increased linearly with increasing concentrations of the particles and with the applied electric field strength. Electric field viscosity of all the suspensions decreased sharply with increasing shear rate and showed a typical shear thinning non-Newtonian visco-elastic behavior. Effects of frequency on the ER activity of talc powder/SO system were also investigated.

Anomalous elasticity of talc at high pressures:Implications for subduction systems

Talc is a layered hydrous silicate mineral that plays a vital role in transporting water into Earth’s interior and is crucial for explaining geophysical observations in subduction zone settings.In this study,we explored the structure,equation of state,and elasticity of both triclinic and monoclinic talc under high pressures up to 18 GPa using first principles simulations based on density functional theory corrected for dispersive forces.Our results indicate that principal components of the full elastic constant tensor C_(11) and C_(22),shear components C_(66),and several off-diagonal components show anomalous pressure dependence.This non-monotonic pressure dependence of elastic constant components is likely related to the structural changes and is often manifested in a polytypic transition from a low-pressure polytype talc-I to a high-pressure polytype talc-Ⅱ.The polytypic transition of talc occurs at pressures within its thermodynamic stability.However,the bulk and shear elastic moduli show no anomalous softening.Our study also shows that talc has low velocity,extremely high anisotropy,and anomalously high V_(P)/V_(S) ratio,thus making it a potential candidate mineral phase that could readily explain unusually high V_(P)/V_(S) ratio and large shear wave splitting delays as observed from seismological studies in many subduction systems.

Insights into the adsorption performance and mechanism of hydrated Ca ion on talc(001) basal surface from DFT calculation

The utilization of Ca ion as assistant depressant of CMC on talc has been widely reported.Thus,the study on the adsorption mechanism of Ca ion on talc surface is very crucial for understanding the performance of CMC on talc depression.In this paper,mechanism insights into hydrated Ca ion adsorption on talc(001) basal surface were creatively provided using DFT calculation.[Ca(H_(2)O)_6]^(2+) and [Ca(OH)(H_(2)O)_(3)]^(+) were determined as the effective hydrate components for Ca ion adsorption,and the top O site was the most favorable position for their adsorptions on talc surface.Furthermore,the adsorption mechanisms of [Ca(H_(2)O)_6]^(2+) and [Ca(OH)(H_(2)O)_(3)]^(+) on talc surface were found to be not the Ca-O chemical bond,but the hydrogen bonding formed by the H atom of the H_(2)O ligand and the surface O atom.H_(2)O acted like a bridge to connect them to the talc surface.Moreover,the hydrogen bonding was formed due to the hybridization of H 1s orbital with the O 2s,O 2p orbitals.Simultaneously,electrons transferred between the H atom and the surface O atom.This work provides theoretical insights into the Ca ion adsorption on talc surface,which can help deeply understand the talc flotation using CMC as depression.
