The impact of the carbon structure of oil-based collectors on the flotation performance and bubble adhesion mechanisms of microfine flake graphite: a comparative study of n-alkanes and n-alkylbenzenes
Key Points
Flotation performance improved significantly with specific carbon structures in oil-based collectors, indicating a strong correlation.
Bubble adhesion mechanisms were differently affected by n-alkanes and n-alkylbenzenes, highlighting their unique properties.
Comparative analysis utilized systematic testing under controlled conditions to assess the effects on microfine flake graphite.
These findings may enable optimization of collector formulations, enhancing flotation processes in mineral recovery.
