The hydrophobic character of nonsulfide mineral surfaces as influenced by double-bond reaction of adsorbed unsaturated collector species: Progress report for 2nd year. [Oleate on fluorite; collophanite activation]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5373319

During the second year of the research grant, advances have been made in the following areas: (1) ex-situ DRIFT (Diffuse Reflectance) spectroscopic analysis of adsorbed oleate at the fluorite surface as a function of temperature; (2) in-situ Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) spectroscopic examination of adsorbed oleate at the fluorite surface; (3) electrochemical measurements for the solid electrolyte lanthanum fluoride (LaF/sub 3/)/oleate system; and (4) flotation characteristics of nonsulfide minerals with unsaturated collectors. 4 figs., 2 tabs.
