  • HYDROPHOBIC MEDIA FOR THE COLLECTION OF MINERAL PARTICLES IN AQUEOUS SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20230053562
    Abstract: A composite medium for collecting mineral particles in an aqueous slurry has a polymer substrate deposited or penetrated with an inorganic material and further coated with a hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic material can be a hydrophobic silane or a hydrophobic polymer such as polysiloxane. Alternatively, the inorganic material deposited substrate is first reacted with a reactive silane and then coated with a hydrophobic polymer. The polymer substrate can be in the form of a spherical bead, a small cube, a filter or a conveyor.
