Abstract
Magnetic flocculants based on magnetite nanoparticles and statistical copolymers of acrylamide with dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride, differing in the content of ionogenic links and molecular mass, were synthesized. The FeCl2 and FeCl3 co-precipitation method yielded magnetite samples, differing in the average nanoparticles size, which were then modified acrylamide cationic copolymers. Individual magnetite particles, copolymers, and magnetic flocculants obtained by modification of copolymers with magnetite were characterized by the dynamic light scattering method. The influence of the magnetite nanoparticle size and ionogenic link content of the magnetic flocculant magnetic component on the TiO2 suspension flocculation process has been estimated. The predominantly neutralizing flocculation mechanism is evidenced by the opposite sign of the TiO2 charge particles and the macromolecules of the flocculating agents. It is shown that using magnetite characterized by a particle size of 70 nm can be obtained a highly effective multifunctional flocculant for phase separation of disperse systems.
