Description
Patented Dcc. 5, 1944 2.864.520 CONCENTRATION or SYLVINITE onus Allen T. Cole and Wesley M. Houston, Lakeland, Fla.. assignors to Minerals Separation North American Corporation, New York, N. Y., a corporation of Maryland No Drawing. Application June 23, 1943, Serial No. 491.948
17 Claims.
This invention relates to the concentration or separation of the values from soluble ores. More particularly, it relates to the separation of sylvite (potassium chloride, KCl) from sylvinite ores such as, for example, those found in the Carlsbad district of New Mexico.
The invention resides in improved methods of effecting the separation of the desired sylvite from such ores by froth flotation, skin flotation, agglomeration tabling and other methods involving wet stratification with the use of appropriate agents which efiect the separation of the sylvite from the other oreconstituents.
It is already known that sylvite can be recovered from a saturated solution of the soluble constituents of sylvinite ore in accordance with well-established concentration operations by using as a collector an aliphatic amine containing a straight chain hydrocarbon group of at least 7 carbon atoms, or the salts of such amines resulting from their combination with water-soluble acids.
The general objects of the present invention are to produce concentrates of the desired sylvite which are of high commercial grade, with high percentages of recovery, with economy in the use of reagents and with reliable and easily controlled operation of the plant. These objects are attained by the processes embodying the present invention which are hereinafter described.
The methods of the present invention are the result of the discovery that greatly improved results, as to grade and recovery of the desired sylvite and as to control of operations, can be obtained by the use as auxiliary agents in conjunction with the aforesaid straight chain alkyl amines used as collectors,of certain cellulosic materials as hereinafter defined, which are dispersible in aqueous media.
The straight chain alkyl amines useful as collectors for sylvite, the action of which is improved by the concurrent use of said dispersible cellulosic materials as auxiliary agents, include the following aliphatic primary amines: n-heptylamine, n-octylamine, n-nonylamine, n-decylamine, n-undecylamine, n-dodecylamine, n-tet- =raclecylamine, n-hexadecylamine, n-heptadecylamine, n-octadecylamine, and n-octadecenylamine. The lower members of this series may be added to the ore pulp in the form of the free base or as the salts formed by their combination with acids which are themselves relatively devoid of surface active properties, such for example, as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, etc. The higher members of the series, being much less soluble, are generally used in the form of their more soluble salts.
These amine collectors may be used individually or as mixtures. The mixtures need not necessarily consist only of aliphatic primary amines or their salts but may also contain varying proportions of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines or their salts, such as are commonly found in commercial products. For example, the
product of Armour and Company sold under the designation "Am. Ac. 1180-0 isvery suitable and is understood to consist of approximately 73% mono-octadecylamine acetate, about 24% mono-hexadecylamine acetate, together with small quantities of secondary and tertiary amine acetates. Another suitable commercial product is that sold by E. I. du Pont De Nemours 81 Company, Inc., as "D. P. 243 which is a 50% aqueous paste of technical laurylamine hydrochloride understood to contain approximately 18% octylamlne hydrochloride, 10% decylamine hydrochloride, laurylamine hydrochloride, 17% myristylamine hydrochloride, and traces of secondary and tertiary amines.
Cellulose, as is well known, is a carbohydrate which occurs abundantly in plants. Those cellulosic materials which have been found useful are those materials in whichthe inherent cellulose structure is largely retained as in unmodified cellulose and in substituted cellulosic compounds, such as, for example, cellulose esters, cellulose ethers, cellulose xanthates, cellulose carbamates, etc. The term cellulosic material" as used herein and in the claims is to be taken as including materials of the types Just mentioned but as exeluding such advanced degradation products, as, for example, glucose, which we have found to be non-effective in the process. The aqueous dispersions of the cellulosic materials of our invention may be true molecular dispersions (solutions) or colloidal dispersions of large molecular aggregates. The cellulosic materials may be added to the flotation brine as aqueous dispersions in water or brine, or they may be added as solutions or dispersions in organic solvents to form an aqueous dispersion in the flotation brine.
Among the cellulose materials which may be sufficiently dispersed in aqueous media to function effectively when added to the ore-pulp are the esters known as cellulose xanthates, and the ethers known as methyl cellulose and ethyl cellulose. Methyl cellulose, which is commercially available as Methocel," manufactured by the Dow Chemical Company, is a very effective auxiliary agent in the concentration of sylvite from its ores.
Other cellulosic materials within the scope of the invention may be more difiicult to disperse in aqueous solutions, for example, cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate (nitrocellulose) and cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate. In many cases such materials can be used effectively for the purposes of the invention if they are first dissolved or dispersed in a suitable organic liduid, and the organic liquid solution of the celluloslc material. then agitated with the ore pulp. As one example, dioxane has been found to be very effective as an organic liquid dispersant. In some cases it may be advantageous to add small amounts of emulsifying agents to the organic liquid solution of the cellulosic material to aid in the subsequent dispersion of the material in the aqueous brine. In the case of any particular cellulosio material which is difllcult to disperse, a few simple tests with various solvents or mixtures of solvents may be necessary to determine the best means of obtaining a suitable dispersion in the brine.
We have found that cellulose dissolved in concentrated zinc chloride solution acts as an auxiliary reagent in the flotation of 'sylvite with amine acetate. While this process is not comrnerclally important due to the inhibiting effect 'ofthe large amount of zinc chloride present. it is an interesting illustration of the use of an unmodified cellulosic material according to the teachings of our invention.
The following specific examples of embodiments of the invention show, by comparison with the comparative tests in which no ceilulosc material was used, the advantages to be obtained from the use of these materials as auxiliary agents.
In practicing the methods of the present invention. desllming of the sylvinite ore is desirable; and it is also sometimes desirable to add a frothing agent, such as pine oil, in addition to the collector and the auxiliary agent, when the desired mineral is to be concentrated by froth flotation, or a petroleum oil such as fuel oil when concentration is to be effected by tabling.
Comparative test A.'Sylvinite ore from Carlsbad, NewMexico, was crushed so that it would pass through a -mesh screen, and was then deslimed and ground so that it would pass through a lib-mesh screen, after which it was made into a pulp of about solids with a saturated solution of ore constituents. Reagents,

By comparison of Example 2 with Comparative test A, it will be seen that the addition of the cellulose acetate increased recovery by 18.2% with a slight loss in grade amounting to but 3.1%.
Example 3.The ore, procedure and reagents were the same as in Example 1 except that the auxiliary agent was cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate, in the amount of 1.6 lbs. per ton of ore, added to the pulp as a 5% solution in dioxane. The results were as follows:

By comparison of Example 3 with Comparative test A, it will be seen that the addition of the cellulose compound increased recovery by 40% while grade was better by 1.1%.
Example 4.-The ore, procedure and reagents were the same as in Example 1 except that the auxiliary agent was cellulose xanthate, in the amount of 1.6 lbs. per ton of ore, added to the pulp as a 3% aqueous colloidal solution. The results were as follows:
By comparison of Example 4 with Comparative test A. it will be seen that the addition of cellulose xanthate increased recovery by 11% while grade was better by 1.3%.
Comparative test B.- -This test will serve as a basis of comparison for Example and together therewith illustrates use of the invention with. table concentration. The ore was the same as used in Comparative test A. It was crushed to pass a 6-mesh screen and then the plus 35-mesh fraction was screened out and deslimed in saturated brine. It was'then made into a pulp in which the ratio of brine to ore was 111.88 by weight and conditioned with the reagent for one minute. The sole reagent was "Am. Ac. 1180C", 0.5 lb. per ton of dry ore. The conditioned pulp was fed to a shaking table with a saturated aqueone solution of soluble ore constituents. The sylvite concentrate was recovered at the side of the table and rejected constituents went off at the Example 5.-The ore, procedure and reagent 10 Slim were the same as in Comparative test B except that 0.4 lb. per ton of ore of methyl cellulose was added to the pulp as an auxiliary agent in the form of a 5% aqueous solution. The results were as follows:
By comparison of Example 5 with Comparative Test B, it will be seen that the addition of methyl cellulose increased recovery by 35.4% while there was a slight decrease in grade of but 2.6%.
Comparative test C.--Sylvinite ore from the same locality as that used in Comparative test A was prepared and subjected to flotation as described in that test except that it was initially ground to pass a 28-mesh instead of a 10-mesh screen. The sole reagent used in this test, however, was-Du Ponts DP243 in the amount of 0.9 lb. per ton of dry ore, introduced as a 5% aqueous solution. The results were as follows:
