An investigation of polyacrylate adsorption onto hematite

For the majority of tailings substrates, flocculant adsorption proceeds through hydrogen bonding of the amide functionalities with neutral surfaces. However, flocculation of Bayer process residue solids takes place in highly caustic liquors, typically using high molecular weight polyacrylates. This...
