Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a nontoxic and biodegradable polysaccharide, which can potentially replace the frequently used hazardous depressants in Cu⁻Mo separation. However, a lack of understanding of the interaction mechanism between the CMC and the minerals has hindered its application. In the present study, it is found that 50 mg·L−1 CMC can inhibit chalcopyrite entirely in the pH range 4⁻6, while having little effect on molybdenite. The results also showed that the inhibition effect of the depressant for chalcopyrite enhanced with the increase of the degree of substitution (DS) and molecular weight (Mw) of CMC. The low DS and high Mw of CMC were detrimental to the Cu⁻Mo separation flotation. Furthermore, CMC adsorption was found to be favored by a positive zeta potential but hindered by the protonation of the carboxyl groups. An electrochemical study showed that CMC inhibited 92.9% of the electrochemical reaction sites of chalcopyrite and greatly reduced the production of hydrophobic substances. The XPS and FTIR measurements displayed that the chemisorption was mainly caused by Fe3+ on the chalcopyrite surface and the carboxyl groups in the CMC molecular structure. |
