Deprotonation-Driven Interfacial Packing and Steric Hindrance of a Branched Cationizable Surfactant at Silicate Interfaces.
The separation of silicate minerals with similar crystal structures requires precise interfacial regulation. In this work, a cationizable surfactant, N-Dodecyl-β-Amino-Methyl-2-Methylpropanoate (DAMM), was synthesized to modulate solid-liquid and gas-liquid interfaces. Microflotation results showed a recovery differenc...
