Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of end groups Y, where Y stands for CF3(CH2)aS— or CF3CF2S— or [CF3—(CH2)a]2N—, where a stands for an integer selected from the range from 0 to 5, as end group in surface-active compounds, to corresponding novel compounds, and to processes for the preparation of these compounds.
Abstract:
A process of purifying silica sand comprises grinding sandstone, washing and desliming the ground sandstone to remove the major part of the clay-type binder, attrition-scrubbing the deslimed sand particles to release further amounts of binder therefrom, washing and desliming to remove said binder, drying and heating the sand particles, treating the hot sand with sulfuric acid to convert the iron oxides, ferrosilicates and ferro-aluminous impurities into water soluble compounds, attrition-scrubbing the hot suspension of the chemically treated sand to release the strongly adhering stains of said impurities, washing with cold water and desliming, conditioning the sand suspension with fatty acids or petroleum sulfonate collectors, a polyalcohol frothing agent and, if necessary, a mineral acid to bring the pH to from 1.5 to 7.0, carrying out a first froth-flotation to remove the remaining ferrosilicates and iron oxides, and carrying out a second froth-flotation with a fatty amine collector in the presence of sulfuric acid and/or hydrofluoric acid to activate the aluminosilicates and to remove the same at a pH of from 1.5 to 3.5.
Abstract:
A new "cold" process for the recovery of elemental sulphur from contaminated elemental sulphur products is described. Elemental sulphur is recovered by froth flotation from: contaminated base pads of elemental sulphur blocks, stockpiles of contaminated elemental sulphur; contaminated elemental sulphur rejects from industrial handling and hauling; complex sulphur agglomerate, reject by-product from hot melting processes which is presently unprocessable and discarded (or as is otherwise referred to as "sulphur crete melt residue"); contaminated products resulting from the exploitation processes using wells for the application of heat to reservoirs in order to recover elemental sulphur; and also from other sources of contaminated elemental sulphur in the oil and gas and other industries. This process comprises the steps of coarse screening, crushing, wet grinding, sizing, classifying. Then, the wet ground slurry at ambient temperature is treated by froth flotation, removing the elemental sulphur in the froth, and transporting the undesirable contaminants to storage ponds or subsequent land reclamation. The initial elemental sulphur froth from the first stage of flotation is cleaned one or more times by reflotations. The cleaned elemental sulphur-bearing froth is then filtered to remove excess water and to produce a filter cake.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for removing iron and other impurities from sand containing kaolin clay, siderite (FeCO3) and other mineral impurities, by subjecting the sand to the sequential processing steps of washing, anionic mineral froth floating, cationic sand froth floating, and acid leaching of the froth floated sand with sulfuric acid to yield a flint glass quality sand containing less than about 0.025% by weight of iron as Fe2O3.

Abstract:
In a method for recovering a copper sulfide concentrate by froth flotation from an ore containing an iron sulfide, hydrogen peroxide is added to the conditioned mineral pulp before or during flotation in an amount effective to lower the redox potential of the conditioned mineral pulp in order to improve concentrate grade and recovery of copper sulfides.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a process for manufacturing white pigment containing products. The white pigment containing products are obtained from at least one white pigment and impurities containing material via froth flotation.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to methods for purifying and/or concentrating compounds from or in solutions and/or mixtures. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for purifying and/or concentrating a compound from a solution or mixture. In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for purifying/concentrating a compound from a solution or mixture that utilizes, in whole or part, foam purification and/or concentration. In still another embodiment, the present invention can be used to separate, concentrate and/or purify any material, including biological products and/or biomaterials, that can be selectively bound to a binding agent, thereby yielding a complex that will readily partition onto bubble surfaces in a foam.
