The separation of kreutzonit particles by cationic pullulan derivatives from model suspension

In the present work the flocculation properties of some cationic derivatives based on pullulan have been tested in a synthetic suspension of zirconium silicate (kreutzonit). The flocculants contain either quaternary ammonium salt groups (grafted chains, poly[(3-acrylamidopropyl)-trimethylammonium ch...
