摘要
利用密度泛函理论研究了辉钼矿和黄铁矿的晶体结构及表面性质。研究发现,辉钼矿的禁带宽度比黄铁矿大。辉钼矿(001)面的表面能明显小于(100)面,故辉钼矿易倾向于平行(001)面完全解离;辉钼矿(001)面的氧化反应位点为Mo原子,还原反应位点为Mo和S原子,而(100)面的氧化还原反应位点均为Mo原子;黄铁矿倾向于平行(100)面极不完全解离,(100)面的氧化还原反应位点均为Fe原子。原子电荷及化合键Mulliken布居显示,辉钼矿(100)面上原子所带的电荷数明显高于(001)面,所以(100)面与浮选药剂的静电作用将明显强于(001)面;辉钼矿(001)面的S—Mo键共价性大于(100)面,表明(001)面的疏水性大于(100)面。由此可知,辉钼矿(001)面倾向于与非极性药剂作用,而(100)面则更易于与极性药剂发生作用。
The crystal structures and surface properties of molybdenite and pyrite were investigated by first-principle calculation. A band structure analysis suggested that the forbidden band width of molybdenite was larger than that of pyrite. The surface energy of MoS_2(001) plane was significantly lower than that of MoS_2(100) plane, which indicated that the molybdenite tended to completely disintegrate parallel(001) plane. On MoS_2(001) plane, the oxidation reaction sites were Mo atoms and reduction ones were Mo and S atoms. While both the oxidation and the reduction reaction sites on MoS_2(100) plane were Mo atoms. Pyrite tended to incompletely disintegrate parallel(100) plane, and the oxidation-reduction reaction sites thereon were Fe atoms. Moreover, the results of Mulliken distribution analysis of atom charge and chemical bonds showed that the atom charge of MoS_2(100) plane was obviously higher than that of MoS_2(001) plane, so it would have a stronger electrostatic attraction with flotation reagents. However, the S-Mo bond covalency of (001) plane was larger than that of(100) plane, indicating the hydrophobicity of MoS_2(001) plane was stronger than that of MoS_2(100) plane. It can be inferred that the molybdenite(001) plane tends to interact with nonpolar reagents and(100) plane is prone to interact with polar reagents.
