This paper has illustrated the importance of measuring froth effects and taking the froth zone into account when performing laboratory-scale flotation experiments. The overall objective of treating undeslimed ores was found to be very difficult in practise since, even at lower solids concentrations, the inclusion of all the ultrafine material ...

1. Introduction. Froth flotation is a complex process known for more than a century [Citation 1].It has one of the largest tonnage capacities among separation technologies [Citation 2].The process is a cornerstone of numerous industries, such as wastewater treatment (e.g. sewage treatment and water purification), the energy sector (e.g. …

The effects of dosage of collectors (SIPX and IPETC) and the dosage of methyl-isobutyl-carbonyl (MIBC) as frother on the separation efficiency were evaluated at different pH levels. Based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the interaction effects of the collector−pH and collector−frother were significant for the separation efficiency.

Low-cost and environment-friendly green froth flotation modifiers of plant origin, such as guar gum, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and starch, have been used in flotation of some sulfide and non-sulfide minerals. Certain green modifiers may be used as dispersants, flocculants, depressants, or activators. The functions of green modifiers in …

Furthermore the shorter the carbon chain of the added oil, the result will be less specific gravity and viscosity, and worse froth stability. The flotation operational parameters also had an effect on froth stability and froth recovery, and research showed that superficial air velocity and collector dosage had, respectively, the most and least ...

Many tests have been carried out using static froth column experimental systems to measure froth stability (e.g. [8], [30], [4]), however there are few reported studies into particle size effects on froth stability for a flowing flotation froth. This is due, in part, to the difficulty in decoupling particle size and liberation effects.

Potassium amyl xanthate (PAX) and sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX) are traditional thiol collectors used in the bulk and selective froth flotation of nickel and copper sulfide mineral ores. Individually, they are not selective enough for economical low-grade nickel froth flotation. Therefore, more selective collectors or co-collectors are required.

The actual flotation process is a complex, multi-factor coupling separation process. The bubble size is synergistically affected by the frother, collector, slurry properties, mechanical energy input, and air flow rate in the flotation cell. The effect of multi-factor coupling on the bubble size should attract sufficient attention.

Froth flotation process is one of the best separation techniques to upgrade and recover the valuable minerals from ores [1,2,3].Its effectiveness is dependent on the differences in surface wettability displayed by solids (mineral particles) at the air-water-solid interfaces [4, 5].In this approach, hydrophobic particles attach to air bubbles, buoyantly …

Introduction. Froth stability plays an important role in determining selectivity and recovery in flotation (Farrokhpay, 2011). It should be noted that froth with very high stability is not desirable because in addition to recovering the particles attached to the bubbles, it creates favourable conditions for entrainment (Zheng, Franzidis, and Johnson, 2006).
