Abstract
In this paper, the influence of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) in coal slime flotation was studied, and the interaction between SHMP and coal slime flotation particles was revealed through XRD test, contact angle measurement, zeta potential test, scanning electron microscopy analysis, XPS analysis, and DLVO theoretical calculation. The experimental results show that when the dosage of SHMP is 1500 g/t, the recovery rate of clean coal combustibles increases by 9.61 %. SHMP reduces the hydrophobicity of clay minerals (kaolinite) in coal slime flotation and also enhances the dispersibility of coal slime particle. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis showed that SHMP reduced the number of clay particles (kaolinite) on the coal surface, thereby reducing the ash content of the clean coal. In this paper, SHMP is mainly used to modify the surface of kaolinite so as to reduce the hydrophobicity of the mineral, that is, to improve the recovery rate of clean coal combustibles in coal slime flotation.
