Wettability of a material's surface plays a significant role in how fluids interact with such
surfaces. Wetting behavior is universal but can vary depending on the chemical nature of the …

The term superhydrophilicity is only 11–12 years old and was introduced just after the
explosion of research on superhydrophobic surfaces, in response to the demand for …

In recent years, extraction of zinc from low-grade mining tailings of oxidized zinc has been a
matter of discussion. This is a material which can be processed by flotation and acid …

In this study, we investigated the effects of water salinity on the flotation performance of pure
lead and zinc sulfide mineral samples as well as a Pb/Zn complex sulfide ore by means of …

The flotation separation of water-soluble salt minerals has to be conducted under the
condition of saturation in brines which represents a challenging but exciting topic of colloid …

The presence of clay leads to low recoveries in the process of flotation of copper ores which
is also reflected in a decrease of the concentrates grades. Due to this, the scientific interest …

In this study, the effect of ultrasound (US) on the quartz-amine flotation system was
investigated in detail by considering various surface chemistry techniques. The effect of …

In the flotation of water-soluble minerals (eg, NaCl and KCl crystals), the high ionic-strength
environments alter the typical interfacial interactions and challenge the applicability of …

Hypothesis Flotation of water-soluble KCl and NaCl minerals in brines is significant for K-
fertilizer production, but its mechanism is controversial. Dissolved salt ions are expected to …

The difficulties of beneficiation of the potash ores by flotation is controlled by the structural
similarity of the soluble salt minerals such as halite NaCl and sylvite KCl leading to the same …
