The invention discloses a method for screening foaming agents in plastic flotation, comprising: step 1, determining the screening index of the
foaming agent; step 2, judging whether the
foaming agent belongs to the straight-chain
small molecule configuration; step 3, judging The IFOA value of the
foaming agent; step 4, judge the foam dissipating time of the foaming agent. The invention has simple steps,
low input cost, good use effect, high screening efficiency and accuracy, greatly narrows the search range of foaming agent, obtains the best foaming agent suitable for plastics to be flotation, and avoids unnecessary flotation The selected experimental
verification saves material and human resources. At the same time, the screening index value can be quantified, which is convenient for the establishment of the foaming agent screening
database in the later stage, and is conducive to the resource sharing of
relevant information in the plastic flotation process, and has strong practicability.
