Abstract
Following a new Methodical approach to fully synthetic tailor-made polymeric flocculants for a given mineral dispersion, we prepared several multifunctional poolymers for the pH controlled selective respect to rutile. They had the structure of radical vinyl copolymers containing 1,2-catecholic functions either free or protected and acrylic acid units. They also had the distinctive property of changing their effect from fuocculating to dispersing or best fulfilment of the flocculation process. The tendency of the ilmenite particles to gather, as a result of the combined effect of the catec holic and carboxylic functions at acidic pH, is considered and essential condition and a preliminary process for the formation of flocs.
