将合成的假乙内酰硫脲酸(PGA)用作铜-钼分离抑制剂。该药剂闭路实验结果表明:假乙内酰硫脲酸在较小的用量下对黄铜矿有较强的抑制作用,经一次粗选、一次扫选、两次精选,可获得Mo品位大于26%、回收率大于89%的浮选指标,而用Na2S做抑制剂时钼的回收率下降了2%。药剂吸附量测试结果表明,PGA与丁基黄药在矿物表面发生竞争吸附,PGA在黄铜矿表面上的吸附量远大于在辉钼矿表面的。红外光谱分析表明,PGA在黄铜矿表面是化学吸附,而在辉钼矿表面属于物理吸附。前线轨道计算结果表明,在PAG分子中,硫原子是反应活性的中心。利用矿物、丁黄药及PGA的费米能级能量大小可以从电化学作用角来度解释PGA的抑制机理。
Pseudo glycolythiourea acid(PGA) was synthesized and used as depressant for flotation separation of Cu and Mo.The results indicate that a low amount of PGA has strong depression effect on chalcopyrite.Mo grade of 26.17% and recovery of 89.83% were achieved with rougher and scavenger one time and cleaners twice,while the recovery of Mo was deceased by 2% when Na2S was used as depressant.Measurement on adsorption of PGA on the mineral surface indicates that PGA and xanthate were adsorbed on mineral surface by competition,and PGA was adsorbed on chalcopyrite surface much stronger than on molybdenite surface.FTIR results indicate a chemical absorption process for PGA on chalcopyrite surface and a physical adsorption process on molybdenite surface.The frontier orbital calculation shows that the S atom is an active center,and the depression of PGA can be explained with the Fermi level of energy based on the electrochemical mechanism.
