▼ In recent decades, the study of stimuli-responsive polymers has unlocked a host of potential applications in various fields of research, including drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, wastewater treatment, chemical sensing, gel actuation, food and beverage packaging, and textiles. The use of these materials revolves around their ability to exhibit a sharp change in properties following variations in environmental conditions, such as pH, temperature, light, magnetic fields, chemical concentrations, and mechanical force. A common example is poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM), a temperature-responsive polymer which remains hydrophilic in solution when maintained below a specific transition temperature, termed the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Upon heating above the LCST, the polymer undergoes a reversible coil-to-globule transition into an insoluble state, displaying hydrophobic properties. The ability of the thermo-responsive materials to switch between hydrophilic and hydrophobic behaviour under a change in temperatures can potentially be used to assist in separation processes that sort and recover compounds based on differences in surface wettability. The treatment of minerals with froth flotation is one such process, which separates valuable particles from unwanted gangue based on the differential water wettability of particle surfaces. A selective surfactant, termed a “collector”, is typically added in flotation to preferentially modify the surface of the desired particles to reduce the water wettability. The hydrophobic surface facilitates attachment onto bubbles introduced in flotation, which in turn recovers and concentrates the targeted particles into a high-grade product. Conversely, the unwanted gangue remains hydrophilic and is discarded as waste tailings. This thesis seeks to explain whether temperature-responsive materials are able to function as selective collectors in froth flotation, and to discover new opportunities by exploiting the thermo-switchable properties of the polymers. A possible area for improvement involves the treatment of valuable fine particles below 20 µm in size, which are typically difficult to recover under normal flotation conditions in practice. The use of temperature-responsive materials can potentially enhance recoveries by inducing the formation of particle aggregates through the hydrophobic transition of the polymer such that the resulting aggregates are sufficiently large to be recovered via flotation. Furthermore, the coating of fine valuable particles on coarser gangue particles typically results in grade dilution. This could be prevented with the use of thermo-responsive polymers, as the selective aggregation of the fine valuables effectively acts as a desliming process. The tuneable hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties of the polymer also allows for potential use as a depressant, which performs the opposite function of a collector, under a temperature switch. The focus of this work is to investigate the performance of temperature-responsive…

Abstract Flotation is a well-known and widely used technique for the separation of particles smaller than 250 µm, but efficient performance requires the use of various synthetic chemicals which can potentially damage the health of humans and animals and pollute the environment. Consequently, their replacement through a more environment-friendly and sustainable alternative has been demanded. One promising candidate is cellulose, which is an abundant natural polymer that is environment-friendly and can be treated chemically and physically to yield tailored properties and thus a potential for use in processes such as flotation. This work focuses on the use of cellulose-based reagents in flotation processes to replace the often harmful conventional reagents derived from mineral oil, plant oils or animal fats. The physico-chemical properties of cellulose differ from those of conventional reagents, leading to differences in performance during flotation. In particular, the chemical and morphological heterogeneity of cellulose affects its properties and thus its interaction with minerals and water. Consequently, its use requires the study of the fundamentals of flotation and their application including the physico-chemical heterogeneity of cellulose to determine the optimum conditions and enable efficient performance. This work focuses on the determination of the thermodynamic surface energetics of solid particles and changes in this after reagent adsorption, using the inverse gas chromatography technique in a dry atmosphere. Furthermore, interactions between cellulose and minerals immersed in water are investigated using the DLVO theory, the interaction forces between cellulose and the minerals being derived and correlated with flotability. The importance of free surface charges is then considered by investigating the electric surface potential of cellulose-coated minerals in connection with particle-bubble attachment efficiency. At the same time, conventional amphiphilic reagents are used and its performances are related to cellulose-based reagents.

Tiivistelmä Vaahdotus on kaivannaisteollisuudessa laajasti käytössä oleva prosessi, jonka avulla saadaan erotettua tehokkaasti pieniä, alle 250 µm kokoisia partikkeleita. Vaahdotuksen apuaineena käytetään erilaisia synteettisiä kemikaaleja, jotka voivat aiheuttaa harmia ympäristölle. Siksi niiden korvaaminen ympäristöystävällisemmillä vaihtoehdoilla on tärkeää. Yksi lupaava vaihtoehto korvaavaksi materiaaliksi on selluloosa. Selluloosa on uusiutuva ja ympäristöystävällinen luonnonpolymeeri, josta voidaan valmistaa kemiallisesti ja fysikaalisesti käsittelemällä erilaisia biokemikaaleja. Näitä voidaan soveltaa erilaisissa prosesseissa, myös vaahdotuksessa. Tässä työssä keskitytään selluloosapohjaisten kemikaalien käyttöön vaahdotuksessa tavanomaisten, usein haitallisten synteettisten kemikaalien korvaamiseksi. Selluloosan fysikaaliskemialliset ominaisuudet eroavat synteettisten vaahdotuskemikaalien ominaisuuksista, mikä vaikuttaa niiden vuorovaikutukseen mineraalien ja veden…

▼ Microcalorimetric measurements and contact angle measurements were conducted to study the surface chemistry of powdered minerals. The contact angle measurements were conducted on both flat and powdered talc samples, and the results were used to determine the surface free energy components using Van Oss-Chaudhury-Good (OCG) equation. It was found that the surface hydrophobicity of talc increases with decreasing particle size. At the same time, both the Lifshitz-van der Waals (gSLW) and the Lewis acid-base (gSAB) components (and, hence, the total surface free energy (gS)) decrease with decreasing particle size. The increase in the surface hydrophobicity and the decrease in surface free energy (gS) can be attributed to preferential breakage of the mineral along the basal plane, resulting in the exposure of more basal plane surfaces to the aqueous phase. Heats of immersion measurements were conducted using a flow microcalorimeter on a number of powdered talc samples. The results were then used to calculate the contact angles using a rigorous thermodynamic relation. The measured heat of immersion values in water and calculated contact angles showed that the surface hydrophobicity of talc samples increase with decreasing particle size, which agrees with the direct contact angle measurements. A relationship between advancing water contact angle qa, and the heat of immersion (-DHi) and surface free energies was established. It was found that the value of -DHi decrease as qa increases. The microcalorimetric and direct contact angle measurements showed that acid-base interactions play a crucial role in the interaction between talc and liquid. Using the Van Oss-Chaudhury-Goodâ s surface free energy components model, various talc powders were characterized in terms of their acidic and basic properties. It was found that the magnitude of the Lewis electron donor, gS-, and the Lewis electron acceptor, gS+, components of surface free energy is directly related to the particle size. The gS- of talc surface increased with decreasing particle size, while the gS+ slightly decreased. It was also found that the Lewis electron-donor component on talc surface is much higher than the Lewis electron-acceptor component, suggesting that the basal surface of talc is basic. The heats of adsorption of butanol on various talc samples from n-heptane solution were also determined using a flow microcalorimeter. The heats of adsorption values were used to estimate % hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity and the areal ratios of the various talc samples. In addition, contact angle and heat of butanol adsorption measurements were conducted on a run-of-mine talc sample that has been ground to two different particle size fractions, i.e., d50=12.5 mm and d50=3.0 mm, respectively. The results were used to estimate the surface free energy components at the basal and edge surfaces of talc. It was found that the total surface free energy (gS) at the basal plane surface of talc is much lower than the total surface free energy at the edge surface. … Advisors/Committee Members: Yoon, Roe-Hoan (committeechair), Luttrell, Gerald H.
