- We present the first attempt to characterise surfactant adsorption from solution onto a particle film using total internal reflection Raman spectroscopy. Three surfactant collectors of interest to the mineral processing industry were studied in their adsorption onto sphalerite: heptyl xanthate, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), and O,O-dibutyldithiophosphate (DTP). All three surfactants adsorbed to the surface of the sphalerite. Adsorption of heptyl xanthate was monitored as a function of time and increasing concentration. The spectrum of heptyl xanthate indicated the presence of a small amount of dixanthogen on the surface of the sphalerite. MBT adsorption studies were complicated due to the fluorescence of the adsorbed layer. However, peaks due to the adsorbed MBT were observed on top of the fluorescent background, allowing the identification of the adsorbed species to be confirmed as the oxidised dimer species. Spectra obtained from MBT and DTP co-adsorption studies did not display the strong adsorbate layer fluorescence, indicating that the fluorescence spectrum of the adsorbed MBT is most likely affected by ring-ring interactions.
