为降低细粒煤的水分,选取具有不同疏水基的聚氧乙烯型非离子表面活性剂AEO9,LAE9,OP9和不同亲水基的AEO4,AEO7,AEO9,AEO15,AEO20表面活性剂分别进行了细粒煤的过滤脱水试验。选取滤饼水分、过滤速度、滤饼比阻、滤饼渗透率为脱水效果评价指标。进行了表面张力、红外、润湿热、吸附量、Zeta电位的测试表征。细粒煤脱水实验结果表明,不同疏水基表面活性剂中的AEO9表现较好的过滤脱水性能,不同亲水基的AEO系列表面活性剂中AEO7具有较好的过滤脱水性能。针对表面活性剂AEO7进行了细粒煤的过滤脱水的机理研究,发现在药剂用量为120 mg/L时,含氧官能团减弱程度最大,润湿热最低,表明煤表面的疏水性增强最显著,此时滤饼水分降低4.66%。同时滤液表面张力在AEO7药剂用量超过120 mg/L几乎不再降低。吸附量测试结果表明表面活性剂用量在超过120 mg/L后,可能煤表面发生双层吸附使得煤表面变得亲水,从而减弱过滤脱水性能。
In order to reduce the moisture content of fine coal, both nonionic polyoxyethylene surfactants with different hydrophobic groups such as AEO9, LAE9, OP9 and surfactants with different hydrophilic groups including AEO4, AEO7, AEO9, AEO15, and AEO20 were selected for fine coal filtration dewatering experiments. The filter cake moisture, filter speed, filter cake specific resistance and permeability were used as the evaluation indexes for the dewatering effect. The surface tension, infrared spectroscopy, wetting heat, adsorption capacity and Zeta potential were employed. The results of the fine coal dewatering experiments show that AEO9 among the surfactants with different hydrophobic groups has best performance, and AEO7 among AEO series surfactants with different hydrophilic groups has best performance. The mechanism of the surfactant AEO7 in the filtration and dewatering of fine coal was studied. The obtained results show that when the dosage of AEO7 is 120 mg/L, the maximum amount of oxygen-containing functional groups have been decreased and the lowest wetting heat of the fine coal treated by AEO7 indicating that the hydrophobicity of the coal surface has significantly been enhanced. At this time, the moisture content of the filter cake is reduced by 4.66%. The surface tension of the filtrate solution hardly decreases when the dosage of AEO7 agent exceeds 120 mg/L. The adsorption capacity results show that when the surfactant dosage exceeds 120 mg/L, it is possible that double-layer adsorption on the coal surface may make the coal surface hydrophilic, thereby weaken the filtration and dewatering performance.
