Every morning, when you pick up an electric toothbrush to brush your teeth, have you ever thought about a question: where does the battery that supports you to brush your teeth every day come from? You certainly can't imagine that the positive electrode material of the lithium battery in the toothbrush needs the participation of mineral processing drugs! In fact, it is far more than that. Many items in our lives are hidden in the shadow of mineral processing agents.
The abrasive silica in toothpaste needs flotation agents to remove iron impurities to meet food grade standards; the mica powder in the foundation needs to be selected by agents to ensure fine and uniform particles; even the pearlescent agent in shampoo is extracted from natural minerals with special mineral processing agents.
The coating raw material of non-stick pans, fluorphlogopite, must be removed with selective inhibitors to remove associated minerals; the kaolin in ceramic dishes can only reach a whiteness of more than 90% after flotation by agents; the nickel metal in stainless steel tableware needs to be enriched from laterite nickel ore with a collector before smelting.
Quartz sand, the raw material of mobile phone screen glass, needs to be treated with chemicals to remove coloring elements such as iron and titanium; the aluminum alloy shell of laptop computers uses flotation chemicals to separate silicate impurities from bauxite; even the raw material rare earth ore of neodymium magnets in headphones relies on new composite chemicals for separation and purification.
Titanium dioxide for wall latex paint, its raw material ilmenite, needs to be floated with fatty acid reagents; the main component of the wear-resistant coating of solid wood floors is alumina, which requires a specific pH adjuster to optimize the beneficiation effect; the low-e coating in energy-saving glass cannot be separated from the extraction of silver raw materials without cyanide substitute reagents.
The lead raw material of car batteries is selected from galena by xanthate collectors; the rare earth elements of permanent magnet motors of new energy vehicles need to be separated by combined reagents; even the reinforcing agent white carbon black in tires needs to be treated with reagents to remove impurities in minerals.
The activated carbon of household water purifiers uses flotation agents to increase porosity during production; the mineral fibers of the HEPA filter of air purifiers need to be selected by agents; the silicon raw materials of solar panels need to be separated from quartz and feldspar by agents in the early stage of preparation.
Through the introduction of this article, we will find that mineral processing agents are so close to us. It is not just a distant and unfamiliar professional term, but a real "invisible man" who accompanies our lives. With the development of science and technology, we believe that in the near future, there will be more funny and environmentally friendly mineral processing agents, and we can use them with peace of mind.
