The role of mineral surface composition and hydrophobicity in polysaccharide/mineral interactions

The interactions of polysaccharides (dextrin, amylopectin and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)) with variously modified quartz samples were investigated using floatability, wettability, electrokinetic and adsorption tests, supplemented by conventional titration and infrared spectroscopic studies. The q...
