J. Beger et al., SURFACE-ACTIVITY AND FLUORITE FLOTATION WITH MYRISTIC ACID-DERIVATIVES CONTAINING OXYGEN AND SULFUR-ATOMS, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 80(2-3), 1993, pp. 197-201
Surface tension isotherms and fluorite flotation were studied in syste
ms containing myristic acid derivatives in which carbon atoms in the h
ydrocarbon skeleton were partly replaced by oxygen and/or sulphur atom
s. The location of the oxygen and sulphur atoms affects significantly
compound hydrophobicity, adsorption at the air/water interface and flu
orite flotation. The most effective collectors were the compounds with
one oxygen or sulphur atom close to the carboxylic group.
