An Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Certain Organic Compounds In The Flotation Of Manganese Oxide Minerals, Johannes P. Dreyer May 1959

An Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Certain Organic Compounds In The Flotation Of Manganese Oxide Minerals, Johannes P. Dreyer

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This thesis has to do with the selective flotation of the manganese oxide minerals in an ore from Charco Redondo Mine, Oriente Province, Cuba. Since a sound knowledge of the nature of the emulsion-induced flotation process of these minerals does not exist, experimental research constitutes the most valuable resource for determining the extent to which different reagents influence the process. Moreover, a correlation of experimental results with the chemical and physical properties of the minerals and reagents can lead to the improvement of existing theories regarding the mechanism of a process.
