Hydrophobization of limestone from the deposit 'Cancar' Arandjelovac using stearic acid

Investigation the calcite hydrophobisation of different grain sizes

“…Two fractions were used with the following mean grain diameter (d 50 ): 10.87 μm and 29.14 μm. The results for a fraction of 25.19 μm, which was an integral part of these tests, the authors published before [8]. Modifying the surface of calcite was carried out by stearic acid CH 3 (CH 2 ) 16 COOH -content of stearic acid: 0.3; 0.5; 0.8; 0.9; 1; 2; 2.5; 3 and 4%.…”
