The invention discloses a synthetic method of an
ether amine flotation agent. The synthetic method is characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) at ordinary temperature and normal pressure, placing chlorinated
alkyl amine
hydrochloride and an acid-binding agent in a
solvent to sufficiently react and separate out white
acicular crystals, adding a
drying agent, stirring, filtering and collecting the filtrate; (2) adding a
hydride of alkali metals into the filtrate, increasing the temperature till the
system is slightly boiled for sufficient reaction; (3) after finish of the reaction, filtering to remove the
solvent in the filtrate; (4) adjusting the pH of the filtrate from which the
solvent is removed, extracting, separating out an extraction agent layer, and
drying to ensure constant weight; (5) adjusting the pH of the dried extraction agent layer, extracting, separating out the
water layer, and
drying to obtain
ether amine
hydrochloride; (6) using an inorganic base solution to adjust the pH of
ether amine
hydrochloride, extracting, separating out an
organic layer and removing the solvent in the
organic layer to obtain the product. According to the synthetic method, normal-pressure reaction is carried out, the operation is safe, the process is simple and the cost is low.
