Prediction of Hydrophobic Reagent for Flotation Process Using Molecular Modeling.

ABSTRACT: The interaction or nonbonded energies of base organic ions and water molecules during the flotation process of minerals have important meanings for organizing hydrophobic and stable collectors. Furthermore, the interaction, cross-term, and valence energies of optimized structures are important for understanding the properties and structures of selective collectors. The simulation of pure scheelite mineral (PSM) surfaces with four different negative ions, using an adsorption locator module is demonstrated. The interaction energies for base organic ions and water molecules were resolved and detected by shaping the best hydrophobic interaction and the most stable suspension over the PSM surface (112) and (101). The adsorption locator results for base organic ions and water molecules on PSM su
