Basic magnesium sulfate@TiO₂ composite for efficient adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of 4-dodecylmorpholine in brine.

ABSTRACT: More than 70% of the potash fertilizer globally is produced by the froth flotation process, in which 4-dodecylmorpholine (DMP) serves as a reverse flotation agent. As the potash fertilizer production rapidly rises, the increased DMP levels in discharged brine pose a threat to the production of high-value chemicals. In this paper, composite particles of basic magnesium sulfate@TiO₂ (BMS@TiO₂) were prepared using a simple and mild loading method. These particles were utilized for the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of DMP in brine. Compared with normal powdered materials, the granular BMS@TiO₂ in this study can be easily separated from liquid, and the degradation intermediates will not enter the brine without causing secondary pollution.
