Popis: Colored surfactants containing complex radicals(R-Bc, R-Bs, R-Sh, R-S, R-C, R-Ha, and R-Hb) were applied as ion-flotation collectors and foam-fractionation collectors. The extent of floatabilities for the colored complexing surfactants and metal ions was easily recognized by the degree of discoloration. R-Bc, R-Bs, and R-Sh with low HLB values formed floatable complexes in pH 6–9 with Cu2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, and Sr2+. The residual concentrations of R-Sh, R-Bc, and R-Bs were below 0.1 ppm; however, these concentrations gradually increased after obtaining a minimum concentration of metal ions. Since R-C, R-Ha, and R-Hb had high HLB values, they easily floated Cu2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ by foam fractionation. The concentrations of R-C, R-Ha, and R-Hb in foams or aqueous solutions were correlated to their foaming abilities.
