Abstract:

Recently, the natural mineral resources became short. In the process of fluorite floatation and tailing recycling, the key point is to find out collectors which have good selectivity to fluorite and effective inhibitor of gangue. Most reagents primarily come from agricultural byproduct and some chemical byproduct. However, the tailing mineral is complex and difficult to collect, which brought out accumulation of tailing mineral and water polluted. We try to modify the fluorite collector by use of computer-aided design drawing software and molecular mechanics curve between reagents and useful components in mineral and screen the best reagent. Interaction energy between drugs and fluorite surface is simulated and calculated by molecular mechanics at the atomic level. To determine that the interaction energy between collector and mineral simulated and calculated by molecular mechanics is helpful for demonstrating interaction mechanism. Finally, the better use of tailing mineral is good for environment pollution.
