Wolframite notation with benzyl arsonic acid and sodium butyl xanthate is studied,at first.It shows the efficiency of mineral processig is good when the two agents are added together.Then the synergism of sodium butyl xanthate and benzyl arsonic acid is studied also by HPLC.

THE STUDY ON DETERMINATION OF SELENIUM WITH POTASSIUM BUTYL XANTHATE

A simple and fast ultraviolet spectrophotometric method was used to determineselenium (Ⅳ) through the formation, separaion and quantitative determination of potassium butylxanthae -selenium complex. The complex absorbed light sharply at 375 nm. The optimum acidity ofthe complex formation was between pH 3.4 - 4.0. The absorption value was no change in 120 minutesafter the comlex was extracted by Carbon tetraChioride. The sensitivity of the colour reation was 0.2ng cm-2, The content of selenimp (Ⅳ) was within 0-30 μg and linear rclation was good,Y=0.07X＋0.025, relevent coefficient r＝0.9997. A great quantity of I, Cu, Co, the and SO4-2, PO4-3contained in .the Sample had no effect on the results ofdetenninion when seldsum was determined.When content of Fe was over l00gμg/ml and Zn was over 180μg/ml, there was diotance to the determination, but the disturbance was rem0ved by adding EDTA. When making use of the method todetermine containin seldsum additivef Cv =6.85, rate of recovery was 97.2%, wild jujubef;Cv=3.22,rate of recovery was 90. 1%, soil Samlef Cv=4.64, rate of recovery was 86.2%. The method for sensitivity measured was apprtoate to 2, 3-diamino naphthalene (DAN) fluorescence method.

Two-dimensional correlation analysis of continuous online in situ ATR-FTIR on the adsorption of butyl xanthate at the surface of α-PbO

The adsorption behavior of butyl xanthate on the surface of lead oxide was investigated using continuous online in situ attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared（ATR-FTIR） spectroscopy technique and two dimensional（2D） correlation analysis.The adsorbed layer studied was prepared by coating α-PbO particles onto the surfaces of the ZnSe crystal.The appearance of spectral peaks at 1203 cm^-1,1033 cm^-1 and their red shift indicated the formation and aggregation of xanthate at the surface of α-PbO.According to 1R intensity changes after rinsing with deionized water and a NaOH solution,the adsorption was proved to be a chemisorption type.The competition between xanthate and OH^- for the surfaces leads to desorption of xanthate at higher pH.The technique of 2D correlation ATR-FTIR spectroscopy was used to evaluate the changing order of spectral intensities in the adsorption process,and the results indicated that xanthate micelles were formed at the surfaces.The adsorption kinetics of butyl xanthate was found to be a pseudo-second-order reaction model and the adsorption capacity of butyl xanthate at α-PbO was as high as 281 mg g^-1 after 150 min.

A nanoscale qualitative study on the role of sodium hydrosulfide in oxidized carrollite flotation

The surface species transformation of oxidized carrollite processing with NaHS and KBX was investigated.Flotation and contact angle tests indicate that the combination of NaHS and KBX takes a better flotation performance than adding NaHS or KBX alone.Thermodynamic analysis,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) results confirm the stronger chemisorption of KBX occurs on the oxidized carrollite surface with NaHS,which is beneficial to remove the cobalt oxides,thus contributing to the superior floatability.Interestingly,less elemental sulfur was observed on the carrollite surface as the interaction of NaHS and KBX than adding NaHS alone.It suggests that elemental sulfur is not the main contributor to the restored floatability of oxidized carrollite through sulfidisation.This study provided a new perspective to correlate the surface species with xanthate adsorption and oxidized carrollite flotation through determining the various intermediate products.

Removal of antimony from antimony mine flotation wastewater by electrocoagulation with aluminum electrodes

Antimony （Sb） has received increasing environmental concerns due to its potential toxic and carcinogenic properties. In the present work, the electrocoagulation technique was used to treat the flotation wastewater from a heavy antimony polluted area, and the mechanism of removing Sb was also investigated. The study focused on the effect of operation parameters such as current density, initial pH and standing time on the Sb removal efficiency. Antimony concentration of below 1 mg/L in the treated wastewater was achieved, which meets the emission standards established by State Department of Environmental Protection and State Administration of China for Quality Supervision and Inspection and Quarantine of China.
