Method for detecting amine collecting agent by spectrophotometry
Technical Field

Background
The amine collecting agent is widely applied to the flotation process of silicate, carbonate and soluble salt minerals, but the amine collecting agent is an organic compound which is difficult to biodegrade and high in toxicity, and can cause serious pollution to the water environment. However, at present, the related reports of the concentration determination and the discharge standard of the amine collecting agent in water quality at home and abroad are less, and some problems exist. The common quantitative analysis method is to use a liquid chromatograph or a gas chromatograph in combination with the determination of TOC (total organic carbon), but the TOC detector and the chromatograph are expensive. The document mentions that bromphenol blue or gold orange II complex amine collecting agents are used, and a spectrophotometric method for extracting trichloromethane is used for measuring the concentration of the bromphenol blue or gold orange II complex amine collecting agents, the method is high in sensitivity, but the manual complexing and extracting processes are complicated, the extraction is incomplete, the trichloromethane is sensitive to light, and is decomposed to generate virulent phosgene and hydrogen chloride when being exposed to light, so that the harm to operators and the environment is caused.
Therefore, a new method for measuring the spectrophotometry of the amine collecting agent is needed, which can reduce the harm to human bodies caused by the adoption of trichloromethane and can not reduce the sensitivity and the accuracy in the detection process.
