Definitions

  • R R and R are alkoxy-substituted straight chain alkyl radicals in which the straight chain portion has lto 3 carbon'atoms and the alkoxy subsiituen't also has 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
  • the process for producing these new chemical com pounds comprises polymerising, in the presence of catalytic quantities of a halogen, one or more substituted aldehydes having 2 to 4 carbon atoms and each containing as a substituent an alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
  • R R and R in the general formula above may be the same or difierent. Iodine is the preferred catalyst.
  • novel substances of this invention are shown by examples given in detail'hereaften to have valuable properties in the art of flotation, when used additionally to known promotors such as xanthates, with or without known frothers being also present; as the more detailed examples show, their net effect is to accelerate the flotation in a concentrate of the particular mineral being floated by the known promotors and frothers.
  • promotors such as xanthates
  • frothers being also present
  • the new chemical compounds of this invention may with some ores show a dominance of their collecting properties and with other ores a dominance of their froth ing properties and the degree of eflectiveness or the said properties will also depend on the particular ore being used. Furthermore the new compounds of this invention can either be used in their purified form or can be used directly as; the reaction product of the reactions set out hereunder by way of example, without purification.
  • FIG. 1 is the infra-red absorption spectrum of 2.4.6- tris-(Z methoxypropyl)-l.3.5-trioxane.
  • FIG. 2 is the infra-red spectrum of the beta-methoxypropionaldehyde polymer.
  • the sample from which this spectrum was prepared was not quite pure, the impurities showing up in e.g. the absorption at about 2.75 and 5.75 microns;
  • FIG. 3 is the infra-red spectrum of the beta-ethoxybutyraldehyde polymer
  • FIG. 4 is the infra-red spectrum of the beta-n-propoxybutyraldehyde polymer
  • FIG. 5 is the infra-red spectrum of the copolymer of beta methoxybutyraldehyde and beta ethoxybutyraldehyde referred to below.
  • reaction product is purified by distillation in known manner to yield the abovementioned new chemical substance which has a boiling point of C. at 0.05 mm. mercury.
  • the structural formula of this substance is:
  • Acetaldehydes methoxyacetaldehyde and ethoxyacetaldehyde were prepared in known manner and dried in known manner. To each of these substances a catalytic quantity of iodine was added in accordance with the process set out in Example I. An immediate increase in temperature indicated in each case the formation of the polymer. In each case the product was purified by distillation under reduced pressure in known manner and the identifying properties, as set out below, were determined.
  • butyraldehyde beta-ethoxybutyraldehyde and beta-n-propoxy-butyr-aldehyde were all prepared and dried in known manner and then each was subjected to the polymerisation process of this invention in the presence of catalytic quantities of iodine. Thereafter the products were purified by distillation under reduced pressure in known manner and the identifying properties set out below, determined.
  • STANDARD PROCEDURE IN ALL TESTS Crush ore to pass /8 inch screen Grind 3000 grams ore, 2200 m1. tapwater, 4 grams OaO, for 45 minutes; make up to volume in 10,000
  • pH of pulp is now 7.1.
  • E.P.A Polymer Beta-ethoxyproplon- 2.4.6-trls- (Zethoxyethyl) 2 2 R1, R Ra are aldehyde. 1.3.5-trloxane.
  • 2mo1esBeta-methoxy- 1 R R3 are butyraldehyde 2.4 bis (2 methoxypro- CH CH-CH; M. (E) 3.14. Polymer..- and pyl) -6 (2 ethoxypropyD- 3 and 1.3.5-trioxane.
  • P.B.A Polymer Beta-n-propoxybutyr- 2.4.6- trls (2'propoxypro- 3 3 R1, Ra, R3 are aldehyde. pyl)-1.3.5-trioxane.
  • the final bulk concentrate of high-grade pyrites (Con. D) was 4.37% less in weight, but contained in it was 13.6% less of the copper, and 16.1% less of the zinc.
  • the overall loss of copper in the tailings was 0.8% less, and of zinc 1.9% less.
  • a feature of the plant was a unit cell included in th grinding circuit, and as it was felt that this would be an ideal place to observe the elfects, the accelerator was added to the pump sump immediately before the unit cell.
  • a Denver-Fahrenwald machine of litre capacity was used with an aqueous ore pulp in the manner known to persons skilled in the art.
