Froth flotation: kinetic models based on chemical analogy
In froth flotation, air bubbles are injected into a moving stream of aqueous slurry containing a mixture of particles, so that only hydrophobic ores are collected on the bubble surface and exit the stream. Owing to its simplicity, the process is widely used for separating a great variety of solid particles. ... In the flotation experiments, a ...
