Definitions
- Inorganic particles having a hydrophilic / hydrophobic switchable organic coating having a hydrophilic / hydrophobic switchable organic coating
- the present invention relates to a process for the separation of at least one first substance from a mixture containing said first material and at least one second substance, wherein the mixture to be separated is first contacted with at least one selective hydrophobizing agent so that the at least one hydrophobizing agent and the adduct is then contacted with at least one magnetic particle functionalized at the surface with at least one polymeric compound having a LCST (Lower Critical Solution Temperature) at a temperature at which the at least one first substance forms an adduct polymeric compound has a hydrophobic character such that the adduct and the at least one functionalized magnetic particle agglomerate, this agglomerate is separated by applying a magnetic field, and the agglomerate is finally cleaved by adjusting a temperature the polymeric compound has a hydrophilic character.
- LCST Lower Critical Solution Temperature
- Hydrophobic in the context of the present invention means that the surface of a corresponding "hydrophobic substance” or a “hydrophobized substance” has a contact angle of> 90 ° with water against air.
- Hydrophobic in the context of the present invention means that the Surface of a corresponding “hydrophilic substance” has a contact angle of ⁇ 90 ° with water to air.
- mixtures of substances for example ores
- substances to be separated for example sulphidic compounds
- a selective hydrophobizing agent in order to hydrophobize them on the surface.
- These hydrophobized substances can then be separated by means of magnetic particles functionalized on the surface with a polymeric compound having an LCST.
- These polymeric compounds have hydrophobic character above the LCST and hydrophilic character below the LCST, or vice versa.
- the LCST results in a change in the hydrophilic character of the polymeric compound to a hydrophobic character or, conversely, a change from a hydrophobic character to a hydrophilic character. Therefore, bringing together the hydrophobized material and the switchably functionalized magnetic particles at a temperature at which the polymeric compound has a hydrophobic character takes place the formation of an agglomerate of functionalized magnetic particles and hydrophobized material. This agglomerate can then be separated by applying a magnetic field. Subsequent cleavage of the agglomerate can take place by bringing it to a temperature at which the polymeric compound has a hydrophilic character so that hydrophobic interactions between functionalized magnetic particle and hydrophobized substance are no longer possible.

- WO 02/0066168 A1 relates to a process for the separation of ores from mixtures containing them, in which suspensions or slurries of these mixtures are treated with particles which are magnetic and / or floatable in aqueous solutions. After the addition of the magnetic and / or buoyant particles, a magnetic field is applied, so that the agglomerates are separated from the mixture.
- the degree of attachment of the magnetic particles to the ore and the strength of the bond is not sufficient to perform the process with sufficiently high yield and effectiveness.
- US Pat. No. 4,657,666 discloses a method for enriching ores, wherein the ore in orbit is reacted with magnetic particles, whereby agglomerates form due to the hydrophobic interactions.
- the magnetic particles are hydrophobized by treatment with hydrophobic compounds on the surface, so that a connection to the value ore takes place.
- the agglomerates are then separated from the mixture by a magnetic field.
- the cited document also discloses that the ores are treated with a surface activating solution of 1% sodium ethylxanthogenate before the magnetic particle is added. Separation of ore and magnetic particles occurs in this process by destroying the surface-activating substance which has been applied to the ore in the form of the surface-activating solution.
- a disadvantage of this method is that, if necessary, a surface-activating substance is added, the degradation products of which remain in the ore and may possibly interfere with further process steps.
