Variables of hydrodynamics are equally important as those of surface chemistry in
determining the efficiency of froth flotation processes. In a mechanical flotation cell, macro …

This paper summarizes and discusses previous investigations into the correlation between
the rheology and flotation process of fine particle suspensions. This summary provides a …

Particle-bubble sub-processes cannot be directly and physically obtained in froth flotation
due to the complexity of the process as well as numerous and dynamic interactions of …

Gas-liquid-solid three-phase flows (GLSTPF) have important applications in nature and
industries, but they are complex and numerical simulation is challenging. In this study, a new …

The paper presents the effect of impeller speed and superficial gas velocity on bubble-
particle attachment, detachment and collection efficiencies using pure quartz particles in a …

In this study, a theoretical evaluation of the effect of inertial forces in particle-bubble
interactions during the flotation process is presented and supported by the experimental …

Liberation of cathode materials (Co, Ni, Mn, Li) from spent lithium-ion batteries is essential to
creating an acceptable leach feed in hydrometallurgical battery recycling. This study …

Bubble–particle collisions in turbulence are central to a variety of processes such as froth
flotation. Despite their importance, details of the collision process have not received much …

As a continuous phase, fluid creates a specific environment for the whole flotation process,
and accordingly play important roles. This paper aims to characterize the fluid intensification …

Process modeling is a valuable tool for process design and optimization. Nonetheless, the
extent of its use depends on the physical complexity of each particular application. Flotation …
