Study on Water Wettability Mechanism of Pyrite and Coal Surfaces Based on Density Functional Theory

摘要:
浮选建立在矿物表面润湿性差异之上,为了研究水对黄铁矿和煤表面的润湿机理,构建了黄铁矿和理想化的煤表面模型,并采用密度泛函理论(DFT)分析了水分子和氧分子在黄铁矿和理想化的煤表面上的吸附。结果表明:黄铁矿表面的电子性质活跃,表面Fe与S原子均有未成键的悬挂键,使得黄铁矿表面对水具有较强的吸附活性;水分子在黄铁矿表面各吸附位的吸附能均为负值,底部对硫穴位为水分子吸附的最稳定构型(吸附能为−87.42 kJ/mol);氧分子在黄铁矿表面吸附时会发生解离,但其对已吸附的水分子影响较小。理想化的煤表面原子的配位数与体相相同,且表面对电子的束缚较强,使得理想化的煤表面吸附活性较弱;水分子在各吸附位的吸附能均为正值,说明水分子难以吸附在理想化的煤表面上;氧分子在理想化的煤表面上吸附时未发生解离,且将已吸附的水分子排离表面。因此,黄铁矿表面具有较强的亲水性,而理想化的煤表面具有较强的疏水性。
Abstract:Flotation is based on the difference of wettability of mineral surfaces. In order to study the water wettability mechanism of pyrite and coal surfaces, pyrite and perfect coal surface models were constructed. The adsorptions of water and oxygen molecules on pyrite and perfect coal surface were analyzed by density functional theory (DFT). The results show that the electrons of pyrite surface are more active. There are hanging bonds on the Fe and S atoms which make the pyrite surface have strong adsorption activity. The adsorption energy of water molecules on the pyrite surface is negative value. The adsorption configuration of water molecules on the sulfur acupoint (adsorption energy is −87.42 kJ/mol) is the most stable. Oxygen molecules adsorbed on the pyrite surface can dissociate, but it has little effect on the adsorbed water molecules. The coordination number of atoms on the perfect coal surface is the same as the bulk phase. The binding of electrons on the surface is strong, which makes the adsorption activity on the perfect coal surface weak. The adsorption energy of water molecules on each adsorption site is positive value, which indicates that water molecules are difficult to adsorb on the surface. Oxygen molecules cannot dissociate when adsorbing on the perfect coal surface, and the adsorbed water molecules are discharged from the surface. Therefore, pyrite surface has strong hydrophilicity, while perfect coal surface has strong hydrophobicity.
