Polymeric depressant adsorption on the surface of talc was investigated using in situ Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy. The polymeric depressants investigated were an unmodified polyacrylamide (Polymer-N) and a hydroxyl substituted polyacrylamide (Polymer-H), an unmodified dextrin (Dextrin WY) and a hydroxylpropyl substituted dextrin (HP Dextrin), and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The main objectives of this study were to evaluate the thermodynamic properties of adsorption, the kinetics of adsorption and desorption, and the mechanisms driving adsorption. / Thesis (PhDApSc(MineralsandMaterials))--University of South Australia, 2007.
