dc.description.abstractThis paper considers the importance of surface hydrophobicity in the shear flocculation process and presents a correlation between the shear flocculation and the wettability parameter for barite, celestite and calcite as salt-type minerals. The critical surface tension of wetting (gamma(c)) as a wettability parameter describes wetting characteristics of any mineral. The variation of the shear flocculation behaviours of barite, celestite and calcite with sodium oleate concentration in various methanol solutions was investigated. The shear flocculation of these minerals in the methanol solutions increased rapidly towards the optimum surfactant concentration, and thereafter remained relatively constant or increased slightly. On the other hand, the shear flocculation of the minerals decreased with increasing methanol concentration, depends on decreasing surface tension. The gamma(c) values of these minerals as a function of surfactant concentration were determined using a shear flocculation approach. It was found that the gamma(c) values did not change much at surfactant concentrations above the optimum. This result provides a reason for the observed lack of significant increase in the shear flocculation of the mineral suspensions when surfactant concentrations higher than the optimum are used. Furthermore, a strong correlation between the effective shear flocculation and the critical surface tension of wetting (gamma(c)) value was established. As the effective shear flocculation of these salt-type minerals increased sharply below a particular gamma(c) value, it was not much improved after reaching the gamma(c) value obtained at the optimum concentration of sodium oleate.
