Annotation
In this study, a surfactant was obtained through the chemical modification of gossypol resin, formed as a by-product of cottonseed oil processing, with monoethanolamine, and its structural and surface-active properties were comprehensively investigated. The modification process was carried out stepwise in an alkaline medium, and the effect of reaction parameters on product yield was analyzed to determine the optimal conditions. The structural changes of the obtained product were analyzed using FTIR spectroscopy. The appearance of new absorption bands in the 1200-1300 cm-1 region indicated the formation of C–N bonds and confirmed the chemical incorporation of monoethanolamine into the gossypol structure.
The surface-active characteristics of the synthesized material were studied using surface tension, critical micelle concentration, foam formation, and foam stability. It was found that the material is capable of lowering surface tension, forming micelles, and forming stable foam. These characteristics point to its possible use as a flotation agent for the enrichment of coal, as well as for the extraction of valuable elements from coal processing wastes.
