The study reveals that some properties of flotation reagents, such as group electronegativity, energy criterion, solubility product of chemicals and maximum wavelength of ultraviolet absorbency, have linear correlation with the first order group connectivity index (GCI) of polar group, and the related coefficients are all larger than 0.900. The GCI can be used to characterize the structure of groups, and is a sort of new effective structural parameter to study the quantitative structure activity relationship of flotation reagents.展开更多
文摘Topological method is applied firstly to calculate the group connectivity indexes of some flotation reagents for sulfide minerals and oxide minerals. The study reveals that some properties of flotation reagents, such as group electronegativity, energy criterion, solubility product of chemicals and maximum wavelength of ultraviolet absorbency, have linear correlation with the first order group connectivity index (GCI) of polar group, and the related coefficients are all larger than 0.900. The GCI can be used to characterize the structure of groups, and is a sort of new effective structural parameter to study the quantitative structure activity relationship of flotation reagents.
