In search of an efficient frother for pre-flotation of carbonaceous shale from the Kupferschiefer stratiform copper ore was written by Kowalczuk, Przemyslaw B.;Buluc, Batuhan;Sahbaz, Oktay;Drzymala, Jan. And the article was included in Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing in 2014.Synthetic Route of C10H22O3 The following contents are mentioned in the article:
Frothers such as aliphatic alcs. (CnH2n+1OH), poly(propylene glycols) (HO(C3H6O)mH), poly(propylene glycol) alkyl ethers (CnH2n+1O(C3H6O)mH) and poly(ethylene glycol) alkyl ethers (CnH2n+1O(C2H4O)mH), can be used for collectorless flotation of a sample of carbonaceous Cu shale manually separated from the Kupferschiefer stratiform Cu ore. Flotation is influenced by the type and dose of frothers. The best flotation results were obtained with tri(propylene glycol) Bu ether C4P3, tri(propylene glycol) Pr ether C3P3 and tri(propylene glycol) P3. For these frothers, the yield vs. frother dose relationship was in the form of convex curves indicating that carbonaceous Cu shale can float at relatively low dosages of the frother. These frothers can be used for pre-flotation of carbonaceous matter from the investigated Cu ore. Other frothers formed concave yield-frother dose relationships and were less effective. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-(2-(Hexyloxy)ethoxy)ethanol (cas: 112-59-4Synthetic Route of C10H22O3).
2-(2-(Hexyloxy)ethoxy)ethanol (cas: 112-59-4) belongs to ethers. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Cyclic esters are called lactones, regardless of whether they are derived from an organic or inorganic acid. One example of an organic lactone is γ-valerolactone.Synthetic Route of C10H22O3
