This study introduced α-Benzoin oxime (BO) as a novel and efficient collector for the selective flotation of ilmenite from diopside. Micro-flotation experiments demonstrated that BO exhibits superior collection performance compared to benzohydroxamic acid (BHA) under weakly acidic to neutral conditions. At pH 8 and a BO dosage of 5× 10 -4 mol/L, flotation tests on ilmenite-diopside mixed minerals achieved a TiO 2 recovery of 89.90 % with a TiO 2 grade of 47.84 %. Contact angle measurements revealed that BO adsorption notably enhances the hydrophobicity of ilmenite surfaces. Zeta potential and FTIR analyses confirmed the selective adsorption of BO onto ilmenite. Furthermore, XPS and TOF-SIMS results indicated that coordination bonds formed between the C–O and C=N–OH groups in BO and Fe(II) ions on the ilmenite surface may facilitate BO adsorption. These findings provide valuable insights into the interaction mechanism between BO and ilmenite, highlighting its potential as an efficient collector for ilmenite flotation.
As a self-reactive substance, benzaldehyde oxime (BO) is prone to a highly exothermic runaway reaction and thermal hazard analysis and the reaction kinetics calculation of BO have great significance. In this work, the decomposition products of BO in nitrogen atmosphere were identified by GC–MS and HPLC techniques. The impact of the decomposition products on the decomposition behaviors of BO were analyzed by comparison of the ARC test results of pure BO and mixture of BO and decomposition products. It was found that N-benzylidene benzylamine was the intermediate decomposition product and benzoic acid , benzamide, N-benzyl benzamide, and 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole were the final products of BO. A two-step continuous autocatalytic reaction model was established to depict the decomposition process of BO. The kinetic parameters of the model were calculated by applying the nonlinear optimization method. Finally, thermal behaviors under different process temperature were predicted based on the kinetic model , and the time to maximum rate (TMR ad ) was predicted as 112.04 °C under 24 h, and 122.19 °C of 8 h, which offer crucial safety information to optimize the safety conditions of BO during usage, storage and transportation, which minimizes the industrial disasters.
