Abstract

Mineral adsorbents, such as talc, are materials that are abundant in nature and used as scavengers, binding agents, fillers, etc. Mechanical and physicochemical pretreatment creates new opportunities for the production of highly effective mineral materials with a wide range of destinations. The possibility of using various techniques to enhance the adsorption properties of dispersed talc, namely, enrichment and use in a mixture with another mineral, treatment with various reagents, and changing the temperature and acidity conditions, is demonstrated. Phenomena and trends having an effect on the adsorption ability of talc are considered. Surface modification of talc can significantly increase its technological capability of absorbing resinous components of wood pulp in the manufacture of paper. It is shown that the adsorption and structural characteristics of dispersed talc change significantly after modifying it with organic reagents. The best effect is achieved when pretreating talc with cationic surfactant N-cetylpyridinium chloride. The resulting adsorbent is characterized by a high value of rosin adsorption, reaching 200 mg/g, which is commensurate with the data on the absorption of rosin by talc pretreated with a Penta-416 industrial mixture. Substantial changes in the surface properties due to an increase in the temperature, a change in the acidity, and a shift in the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance occur when using the accessible, affordable, and safe anionic surfactants. The highest value of adsorption of rosin (160–170 mg/g) is typical for samples of talc modified with sodium oleate and enriched with zinc oxide. The importance of pretreatment of talc with solutions of mineral acids and salts that promote settling of suspensions and the formation of a compact precipitate is shown.
