The concentration of sodium hexametaphosphate plays an important role in mineral separation

 Sodium hexametaphosphate is often used to inhibit carbonates such as calcite and limestone in the flotation process, and can also be used as an inhibitor of gangue minerals such as quartz and silicate. For example, in the flotation of iron ore, tall oil is used as collector, and sodium hexametaphosphate and aluminum silicate are used as inhibitors of quartz and silicate to separate iron-containing minerals from quartz and silicate.


Sodium hexametaphosphate competes with the collector sodium oleate for adsorption on the surface of diaspore and kaolinite minerals. Because the adsorption capacity of sodium oleate on the surface of diaspore is stronger than that on the surface of kaolinite. Therefore, sodium hexametaphosphate has a greater influence on the adsorption capacity of sodium oleate on the surface of kaolinite than the adsorption capacity on the surface of diaspore, which is beneficial to the separation of diaspore and kaolinite. However, when the concentration of sodium oleate is relatively low, sodium hexametaphosphate can significantly inhibit the floating of diaspore.


Therefore, choosing an appropriate concentration of sodium hexametaphosphate is one of the conditions for better separation of minerals. As the concentration of sodium hexametaphosphate changes, it is beneficial to the flotation of bauxite, inhibits silica-containing gangue minerals and disperses the sludge.


Sodium hexametaphosphate and the collector sodium oleate have competitive adsorption on the surface of minerals. The presence of sodium hexametaphosphate affects the surface adsorption of sodium oleate minerals. When the concentration of sodium oleate increases, its adsorption capacity on the surface of diaspore minerals will increase, which can eliminate the influence of the concentration of sodium hexametaphosphate on the floatability of diaspore to a certain extent. Kaolinite has not changed much, which provides a basis for the separation of minerals.


The concentration of sodium hexametaphosphate can reduce the dynamic potential of the mineral surface, increase the electrostatic repulsion on the mineral surface, facilitate the dispersion of the sludge, and enhance the selectivity of separation.

The manufacturer tells you the dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate

The dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate is due to its hydrolyzed anions adsorbed on the particle surface. In order to improve the dispersing effect, the hydrolysis degree of the dispersant can be selectively increased. It is believed that we all know that the function of dispersant is to increase the distance between the large particles to be dispersed in the solution and reduce the viscosity of the whole solution. However, the amount of   sodium hexametaphosphate   used in the dispersion of different substances is also different. In the process of material dispersion, the surface of large particles adsorbs the dispersant to form a double electric layer, and anions are closely adsorbed on the surface of particles, which is called surface ions. Ions with opposite charges in the medium are called anti ions. In the process of medium movement, particles and particles, as well as the electric double layer and the electric double layer have the same charge, which will generate elec

Non-antibiotic growth promoter potassium diformate helps pig industry return to its essence

  The high profitability of the pig industry will not last, and the future development of the industry still needs to return to the essence of pig raising. The non-antibiotic growth-promoting agent   potassium diformate  helps return to the essence of breeding and helps control the cost and quality of the pig industry. Biosecurity has become the access condition of today's pig industry. Potassium diformate has the following functions and functions to return the essence of pig farming to the breeding industry: (1) Adjust the palatability of feed and increase animal feed intake. (2) Improve the environment of the animal's digestive tract and lower the pH of the stomach and small intestine. (3) It has anti-bacterial and growth-promoting effects. The addition of potassium diformate can significantly reduce the content of anaerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella in each segment of the digestive tract. Improve the resistance of animals to diseases and reduce

The factory tells you food grade sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP requires heavy metal purification

Condiments, meat products, edible oil, dairy products, drinks, etc. are all necessities of daily life. Some food additives will be used in the production and processing process. The use of additives also makes people more concerned about "safety on the tip of the tongue".  Sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP  is widely used in food additives. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group will show you the main applications of sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP in the food industry: 1. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., which can improve the water holding capacity, increase the cohesiveness and prevent fat oxidation; 2. For fruit drinks and cool drinks, it can improve the juice yield, increase the viscosity and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C. 3. It can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and adjust taste when used in soybean paste and soy sauce. 4. For ice cream, it can improve the expansion capacity, increa
