The contact angle increased initially and then slowly decreased with an increase of the amount of stearic acid. However, the surface flee energy decreased ini- tially and then increased. Surface modification with stearic acid or sodium stearate can benefit from elevating temperature. The base surface tension component and the free energy of Lewis acid-base both declined sharply following the surface modification. Excess stearic acid was physically adsorbed in the form of multilayer adsorption, and an interaction between oxygen on the ATH surface and hydroxyl in stearic acid was subsequently determined. Our results further indicated that the contact angle and adsorption ratio can be used as control indicators for surface modification compared with active ratio, oil adsorption and total organic carbon.展开更多

The experimental results indicated that the activation index was 100% and contact angle reached 120° when the ratio of the ore slurry is 5:50, the dosage of stearic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid is 10% and 0.5% (of tourmaline powder’s quantity) respectively with reaction at 80°C for 6.0 h, and the modified tourmaline exhibited an excellent hydrophobic property. The introduction of stearic groups reduced the reunion of tourmaline particles clearly and improved the dispersivity in polymers, and the amount of negative ions released of modified tourmaline increased obviously for both modified tourmaline powders and its composite with polyamide-66 compared to the unmodified tourmaline. Moreover, the structure of modified tourmaline was also characterized by means of Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscope.展开更多
