Measurement Of Flotation Rate As A Function Of Particle Size, Thomas Martin Morris Jan 1950

Measurement Of Flotation Rate As A Function Of Particle Size, Thomas Martin Morris

Doctoral Dissertations

“The Problem. The rate of flotation of solid particles determines the percentage recovery of these particles which can be obtained during a given time interval. An examination of operating data from a flotation plant shows that percentage recovery varies with the size of particle.

Many investigators have explored the problem of measuring flotation rate. In most cases the results obtained were expressed qualitatively. The results obtained by one worker were often at variance with results reported by another worker.

This investigation was undertaken with the object of (1) quantitatively measuring the rate of flotation of various sizes of particles and …
