The flotation rates of quartz, sphalerite, galena, and the samples of copper ores which were examined, follow a first order rate equation of the type: - d(C-Cco) _ K(C-Coo) where Coo is the concentration of the mineral in the flotation cell, even after a long flotation time. The flotation rate equation is used to predict flotation recovery, grade of concentrate, and separation efficiency as functions of flotation time. The predicted values of these quantities are in agreement with the experimental values. Laboratory procedures based on flotation kinetics provide more information than is usually obtained from the conventional laboratory flotation tests

The effects of pretreatment conditions, ionic strength, collector type, chain length and temperature on the cationic flotation of oxide minerals
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1983)The effects of mineral pretreatment, ionic strength, pretreatment temperature, and cationic collector type on the flotation characteristics of quartz and magnetite were investigated. The extent of crushing prior to ... -
The use of amphoteric surfactants as flotation collectors
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1970)Amphoteric collectors may be of considerable interest in the area of froth flotation because they combine in the same molecule positive and negative functional groups. Such structure in a collector molecule would indicate ... -
The effect of particle size on heat of immersion of bituminous high volatile Pittsburgh seam coal
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1990)A Setaram C-80 heat flux calorimeter was used to measure the heat of immersion of Pittsburgh seam coal. The investigation was focused to determine the effect of the coal particle size on the heat of immersion in water, 20% ...
