АМИНОАЛЬДЕГИДНЫЕ СМОЛЫ И ИХ ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ В СПОСОБАХ РАЗДЕЛЕНИЯ

摘要

Amine-aldehyde resins are disclosed for removing a wide variety of solids and/or ionic species from the liquids in which they are suspended and/or dissolved. These resins are especially useful as froth flotation depressants in the separation of bitumen from sand and/or clay or in the beneficiation of clay (e.g., kaolin clay) from an impure clay-containing ore. The resins are also useful for treating aqueous liquid suspensions to remove solid particulates, as well as for removing metallic ions in the purification of water.
