Only when the process of particle detachment is well understood and modelled can minerals
recovery using the flotation process be modulated to achieve a high efficiency by suitably …

Particle shape is an important factor that affects the floatability of mineral particle. However, it
is difficult to investigate the dependence of particle shape on mineral flotation because the …

A novel process combining high-speed shear flocculation and flotation (SFF) was proposed
to beneficiate ultrafine microcrystalline graphite (MG). The effect of high-speed shear …

The effect of turbulence on the detachment between an air bubble and a glass bead (soda-
lime) with different hydrophobicity was comprehensively researched. An experimental …

The surface characteristics of molybdenite (MoS2) such as wettability and surface
interactions have attracted much research interest in a wide range of engineering …

In order to investigate the effect of particle size on the flotation performance in the separation
of copper-gold-lead, froth products of various size fractions were collected as a function of …

The floatability of solid particles on the water surface governs many natural phenomena and
industrial processes including film flotation and froth flotation separation of coal and …

In mineral processing, sufficiently liberated target minerals by grinding is a prerequisite for
successful flotation. Rod grinding produces particles with a narrower size range and better …

In the processing of minerals, the ore is ground to small particles to liberate the valuable
minerals which are then separated from the ore waste material by froth flotation. The …

In principle, carrying out flotation of coarse and composite particles in a quiescent flow field
is decisive to prevent particles detaching from bubbles. To overcome or limit detachment of …
