Abstract

The fundamental investigations of surface properties of scheelite were made by electrophoretic mobility adsorption and contact angle measurements, and results have been correlated with its floatability obtained by Hallimond tube flotation test. The role of the interfacial electrical condition on the adsorption of collectors on mineral surfaces is discussed with the flotation of scheelite. From electrokinetic measurements made on scheelite, $Ca^{++}$ and $WO_4^{--}$ are identified to act as potential-determining ions, thus controlling the surface properties on this mineral. Therefore, at the fixed pH, the scheelite surface become to be less negatively charged with increasing $Ca^{++}$ concentration and more negatively charged with increasing $WO_4^{--}$ concentration in the pulp. Adsorption of collectors then depends strongly on the concentration of $Ca^{++}$ or $WO_4^{--}$ in the solution; anionic collectors are adsorbed on less negatively charged surfaces and cationic collectors on more negatively charged surfaces, which in turn defines the effective flotation range with respective collectors for this mineral.

本硏究에서는 韓國産 灰重石($CaWO_4$)에 關하여 固相一液相界面에 있어서의 電氣化學的 性質을 電氣泳動法으로 調査하고 한便 浮遊性에 關하여서는 捕收劑로 Dodecyl ammonium chloride(D.A.C.라 略稱)와 Sodium dodecyl sulfate(S.D.S.라 略稱)를 使用하여 Hallimond tube 試驗, 接觸角測定 及 吸着量測定等의 捕收劑 이온이 鑛物表面에 吸着하는데 있어서 電氣的인 相互作用이 重要한 役割을 하고 있다는 것을 實證하였다. 卽 電氣泳動法으로 鑛粒의 水溶液中에 있어서의 mobility를 測定한 結果 灰重石의 境遇에는 $Ca^{++}$ 或은 $WO_4^{--}$이 界面 電氣特性을 決定하는 potental determining ion이라는 것이 確認되었고 水溶液中에 있는 $Ca^{++}$의 增加는 鑛粒界面의 陰電荷를 減少하며 $WO_4^{--}$의 增加는 그 陰電荷를 增加한다는 것을 알수 있다. 이와같은 表面에 "陰이온系"의 S.D.S. 或은 "陽이온系"의 D.A.C.를 作用시키면 當然히 S.D.S.는 $Ca^{++}$의 增加에 따라 吸着量이 增加되어 浮遊性이 增大되고 한便 D.A.C. 때는 反對로 $WO_4^{--}$이 增加하는데 따라 吸着量이 增加되며 따라서 浮遊性도 增大된다고 불수 있고 實地로 捕收劑吸着量의 測定 및 Hallimond tube 實驗은 이것을 立證하고 있다. 이러한 基礎的인 究明은 灰重石浮選理論의 根幹이 되는 것이고 從來의 浮選法 改良에 對한 指針이 될수 있다고 生覺한다.
