    The Fluidized Bed-Chemical Vapor Deposition Coating Technology of Micro-Nano Particles: Status and Prospective

    by Bowen Li, Zhitong Xu, Gaohan Duan, Xu Yang, Bing Liu, Youlin Shao, Malin Liu, Rongzheng Liu

    Fluidized bed-chemical vapor deposition (FB-CVD) technology stands as a cross-cutting achievement of fluidized bed technology in chemical engineering and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in materials science, finding applications in particle coating, granulation, and material preparation. As compared to conventional CVD technology, FB-CVD distinguishes itself through enhanced heat/mass transfer efficiency, achieving a uniform coating layer while maintaining low production costs. Given the related research on FB-CVD micro-nano particle coating, the mechanism of particle fluidization and chemical vapor deposition, and the difficulty of micro-nano particle agglomeration were summarized. The process intensification of micro-nano particle fluidization assisted by particle design and external force field, such as vibration field, magnetic field, and sound field, and micro-nano particle chemical vapor deposition coating were summarized. In particular, applications of FB-CVD micro-nano particle coating are introduced. Finally, the opportunities and challenges faced by FB-CVD micro-nano particle coating technology are discussed, and the development prospect of this technology is prospected. This review is beneficial for the researchers of the fluidization field, and also the particle coating technology.

    Different Aryl Thiourea Compounds as Flotation Collectors in a Lead–Zinc Sulfide Mixed System

    by Bowen Li, Wei Sun, Zhiyong Gao, Renji Zheng, Jian Cao

    The primary coexisting mineral with galena is sphalerite. Hence, it is critical to selectively separate galena from sphalerite by flotation. In this work, thiourea and related derivatives as potential flotation collectors for separating galena from sphalerite were investigated. Thiourea and its related derivatives were found to be effective selective collectors in batch flotation studies of a single mineral, with 1,1-diphenylthiourea (11DTA) emerging as the best choice. Galena has superior floatability compared to sphalerite in the presence of 11DTA, and the recovery difference between the two minerals at pH 8 (where the 11DTA concentration is 5 × 10−6 mol/L) is around 38%. This was revealed in batch flotation studies using artificial mixed minerals. Moreover, the findings from the measurements of adsorption amount, FTIR, zeta potential and XPS revealed that 11DTA has a strong adsorption on galena yet a relatively weak adsorption on sphalerite. Additionally, DFT calculations demonstrated that sphalerite exhibits stronger hydrophilicity than galena, and 11DTA possessed a better affinity for galena.
