有机质与矿物质表面润湿性差异调控对低阶煤可浮性促进作用机制

Strong hydrophilicity of the surface of organic matter and minerals in low rank coal is the main reason resulting in poor flotability. Non-ionic surfactants are easily adsorbed on oxygen-containing functional groups of organic matter surface in coal by hydrogen bonding, whereas the adsorption of non-ionic surfactants interacting with minerals surface is weak. Based on the difference of surfactant adsorption interaction on the surface of organic matter and minerals, enhancing the selective preferential adsorption of surfactants on the organic matter would bring its wettability alteration from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity and increase the surface wettability difference between the organic matter and the minerals in coal. Ultrasonic desorption method is used to remove the surfactant adsorbed with weaker acting force on minerals surface, which is expected to further increase the wettability difference between the organic matter and the minerals. The key objective of this research project is enhancing the surface hydrophobicity of the organic matter in low rank coal and increasing the surface wettability difference between the organic matter and the minerals in coal. In order to achieve this goal, it is needed to investigate the selective adsorption difference of non-ionic surfactants on organic matter and minerals in low rank coal, the desorption of surfactants on minerals under ultrasonic treatment, the correlation and synergism between the adsorption and spreading of collector on coal and variation of surface wettability of organic matter and minerals in coal, and also the effect of difference regulation of wettability on its floating performance. The theory and control method of improving low rank coal flotability based on surface wettability difference regulation and control for the organic matter and the minerals in low rank coal would be available, which laid a theoretical foundation for promoting the development of clean and efficient utilization technology of low rank coal.

低阶煤中有机质与矿物质表面均呈现强亲水性是导致其可浮性差的主要原因。利用非离子表面活性剂与煤中有机质上含氧官能团易发生氢键吸附，而在矿物质表面吸附作用力较弱的差异，通过强化表面活性剂在有机质上的选择性优势吸附，提高煤中有机质表面疏水性的同时，扩大有机质和矿物质表面润湿性的差异。采用超声处理脱附以弱作用力吸附到矿物质上的表面活性剂，进一步强化有机质和矿物质表面润湿性的差异。围绕扩大低阶煤中有机质和矿物质表面润湿性差异核心研究目标，研究非离子表面活性剂在低阶煤中有机质和矿物质上吸附选择性差异；矿物质上吸附的表面活性剂在超声辅助的脱附；煤中有机质和矿物质表面润湿性差异变化规律与捕收剂在煤上各组分吸附、铺展的关联性和协同作用，以及润湿性差异调控对其上浮性能的影响，形成基于低阶煤中有机质与矿物质表面润湿性差异调控来促进其浮选有效分离的理论和方法，为推动低阶末煤分质清洁高效利用技术的发展奠定理论基础。
