The Effect Of Impeller Speed And Air-Volume On The Flotation Rate With Respect To Particle Size, William Edward Horst Jan 1952

The Effect Of Impeller Speed And Air-Volume On The Flotation Rate With Respect To Particle Size, William Edward Horst

Masters Theses

"Today the ore being mined is low grade and the mineralization has become very complex. In order to concentrate a complex ore, the requirement of grinding the ore very fine is imposed. The process of flotation was developed to concentrate the finely ground ore particles; however, the finer size fractions of the ore still present a concentrating problem.

The fact has been established that the flotation rate which is the recovery that can be attained during a given time interval varies with particle size. The flotation rate increases with an increase in particle size until the maximum flotation rate is …
