Hydrophobic flocculation of talc with kerosene and effects of anionic surfactants
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2016) Ozkan, A.; Dudnik, V.; Esmeli, K.
The variation of the hydrophobic flocculation behavior of talc mineral with pH, kerosene concentration, stirring speed, flocculation, and settling times was investigated. The experimental studies showed that the flocculation of talc suspension increased to a particular point with increasing kerosene concentration and thereafter decreased slightly. Also, the flocculation with kerosene was not much affected by the pH changes of the suspension. On the other hand, sodium oleate, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and Aero 801 used as anionic surfactant in conjunction with kerosene provided significant increases in the flocculation of talc, and depends on increasing surface hydrophobicity of the particles. Especially, in the presence of sodium oleate along with kerosene, the talc suspension could be flocculated with a recovery of 95%. Consequently, the enhancement with nonpolar oil was more significant for the hydrophobic flocculation of talc suspension promoted by long hydrocarbon chain surfactant (sodium oleate) than short hydrocarbon chain surfactants (SDS and Aero 801).
