Article Abstract
In the present work experiments for single mineral flotation against LiAlO and melilite s.s. were carried out for seven ionic liquids (ILs). From these, IL-1 with an imidazolium cation and a bromide anion and IL-7 with a pyridinium cation and a bromide anion were selected for further flotation experiments (dosage, pH). Flotation experiments were also conducted using naphthenic acid, a conventional flotation fatty acid-based collector, and FS-2, a commercial collector in order to compare the results with ILs. Moreover, the effects of different anions in the ILs on the flotation were evaluated and a significant influence on the hardness of anions was found on the flotation process. Finally, a pre-functionalization was also explored with modified cholesterol derivatives, comparing the effect of cholesterylsulfate and cholesterylphosphate on the flotation of LiAlO and melilite s.s. This study is vital for the further optimization of lithium recovery from the pyrometallurgical recycling path of lithium-ion batteries and the flotation of primary minerals such as aluminosilicates.

Flotation of the mineral lithium aluminate by application of the natural product punicine from Punica granatum and some derivatives as collectors is examined. Punicines, 1-(2',5'-dihydroxyphenyl)-pyridinium compounds, are switchable molecules whose properties can be changed reversibly. They exist as cations, neutral mesomeric betaines, anions, and dianions depending on the pH.

Derivatives of the natural product punicine [1-(2',5'-dihydroxyphenyl)pyridinium chloride] were developed as switchable collectors for the flotation of lithium-containing engineered artifical minerals (EnAMs). These EnAMs are formed by pyrometallurgical processing of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. Depending on the pH value and the lighting conditions, punicines exist in water as cations, two different electrostatically neutral mesomeric betaines, anionic tripoles, radical cations or radical anions.

In this work froth flotation studies with LiAlO (lithium-containing phase) and Melilite solid solution (gangue phase) are presented. The system was optimized with standard collectors and with compounds so far not applied as collectors. Furthermore, the principle of self-assembled monolayers was introduced to a froth flotation process for the first time resulting in excellent yields and selectivities.
