This research investigates novel, locally sourced Surface-Active Substances (SAS), NA-1 and NA-2, derived from cotton seed oil waste, for use in the mining and drilling sectors. The findings present a direct opportunity for 6CCVD to support the supply chain for high-performance diamond tooling.

  • Core Application: The SAS reagents are successfully applied to low-density emulsion-drilling muds and the flotation enrichment of copper-molybdic ore.
  • Critical Material Benefit: The use of these SAS reagents in drilling muds significantly increases the operational life and durability of drilling bits and diamond cores by providing a smearing, low-viscosity, and high-stability lubrication layer.
  • Process Environment: Flotation enrichment occurs in a highly alkaline environment (pH 10.8) and involves highly abrasive ore (56.40% SiO2).
  • Economic Impact: The synthesized reagents (NA-1, NA-2) successfully substitute expensive imported collectors (BKK, $1820/t) and foam-formers (T-92, $640/t).
  • Synthesis Parameters: Optimal synthesis of NA-1 requires temperatures below 100 °C and a Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) concentration of 15-20%.
  • 6CCVD Relevance: The demonstrated need for enhanced life in diamond cores and bits operating under severe abrasive and chemical stress directly mandates the use of high-quality, custom MPCVD Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) materials.

The research involved the synthesis and application testing of new Surface-Active Substances (SAS) derived from the cube remainder of distilled fatty acids (CRDFA) from cotton soapstok.

  1. Raw Material Preparation: Anion SAS (NA-1, NA-2) were synthesized using local organic raw material (CRDFA), a waste product of cotton oil refining.
  2. Synthesis Optimization: Laboratory experiments determined optimal conditions for NA-1 synthesis, focusing on:
    • Temperature (maximal yield achieved below 100 °C).
    • Reaction time and component ratio.
    • Optimal concentration of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution (15-20%).
  3. Colloidal-Chemical Characterization: Synthesized SAS were analyzed for surface activity, adsorption, viscosity, and concentration of micelle formation.
  4. Drilling Application Testing: Reagents were tested for preparing emulsion-drilling muds with low density, high stability, and low filtration index, specifically for drilling in easy-swelling rocks (clays, argillites).
  5. Tribological Assessment: Investigations on a “Baroid” friction machine confirmed the smearing influence of the reagent, which increases the life of drilling bits and diamond cores.
  6. Flotation Application Testing: NA-1 and NA-2 were tested as foam-formers/collectors for the intensification of copper-molybdic ore enrichment (Kalmakir field) under highly alkaline conditions (pH 10.8).

The findings confirm that the introduction of new, highly effective drilling muds places increased demands on the durability and wear resistance of the diamond tooling itself. 6CCVD provides the advanced MPCVD diamond materials necessary to maximize tool life in these abrasive, high-pH mining environments.

Application RequirementRecommended 6CCVD MaterialTechnical Rationale
Increased Life of Diamond Cores/BitsPolycrystalline Diamond (PCD)PCD offers superior fracture toughness and abrasion resistance critical for drilling through hard, abrasive ores (56% SiO2).
High-Precision Wear PartsSingle Crystal Diamond (SCD)For specialized, high-precision wear components (e.g., nozzles, bearings) requiring extreme hardness and chemical inertness in the flotation process.
Electrochemical Sensing (Extension)Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD)BDD electrodes are highly stable in extreme pH (like the pH 10.8 flotation environment) and could be used for in situ monitoring of reagent concentration or metal ion activity.

The article the results of investigation on obtaining of surface-active substance -SAS on the waste cotton oil for drilling of wells and intensification of the flotation process are presented. The main component of new SAS are waste, cotton oil refinery and chemical plants. SAS have hudrophobization (waterproof) action on easy-swelling rocks (clays, argellites, alevrolits). Direct water emulsions obtained from reagents have low viscosity, high stability and low filtration index. There reagents have influence at drilling tools (that is they increase the life of drilling bits and diamond bits) [1, 2]. The study flotation enrichments of copper-molybdic ore is revealed characteristic foam-former and collector surface-active substances (NA-1) and is simulation one oily provided creation without minerals fields extraction of gold and color metals has been determined. Optimal conditions of the syntheses: ratio of main components, time of reaction, temperature and concentration have been determined. The comparison of new SAS with other foreing analogies was carried out. The main colloidal-chemical characteristic of synthesized SAS: surface activity, adsorption, viscosity, concentration of micelle- formation have been determined. Technology of obtain of anion surfaceactive substances from local organic raw material was elaborated, which by qualitative characteristics is a substitute of the import reagent collector and foam-former [4, 5]. Dependence on obtained product from the temperature of the process, time of reactions, ratio of initial components optimal concentration of NaOH was investigated. The foam forming ability of the new reagents in comparison with standard reagent T-92 was determined and it was shown that by best ability of forms destruction the methyl syloxane’s liquid and mineral oil have possessed.The intensifications of the process of flotation’s enrichment of copper-molybdic ore with using new obtain reagent NA-1 was offered.
