Advances in Fine and Coarse Particle Flotation
Abstract Flotation works very well for particles that are typically in the range 20 to 150 μm in diameter, for base metal ores. In this range, it is possible to obtain quite high recoveries in conventional flotation machines. Outside this range, the recoveries decline progressively, whether it is with the very fine or thecoarse end of the size spectrum. In this paper, the …

Through the conventional flotation beneficiation, the fundamental cause for the decrease in the process efficiency with ultra-fine particles is due to the relative relevance of particle inertia and viscous drag as particle size drops [31]).For coarse particles, the significant turbulent energy dissipation of rotating impellers (mechanically agitated flotation cells) is …

In addition to bubble–particle interaction, particle–particle interaction also has a significant influence on mineral flotation. Fine particles that coat the mineral surface prevent direct contact with collectors and/or air bubbles, thereby lowering flotation recovery. Calculating the particle interaction energy can help in evaluating the interaction behavior of particles. In this study ...

The precondition for efficient flotation of middle- to low-grade phosphate ore is the dissociation of apatite from gangue minerals through fine grinding. However, fine gangue minerals, such as dolomite, have a lower hardness and are thus easily overground and converted into slime during the grinding stage. The effect of -10 μm dolomite fines (Dol-10μm) on the …

The Limits of Fine and Coarse Particle Flotation
The stability of the bubble-particle aggregate controls the maximum floatable particle size of coarse particles.

Effects of coarse chalcopyrite on flotation behavior of fine
In flotation, fine particles do not collide with air bubbles hence the low recovery of fines to froth. Fig. 2 shows the experimental results of flotation vs model calculation results for fine chalcopyrite (D 50 = 2.3 µm) and coarse chalcopyrite (size: –106 + 75 µm). The results show that recovery of fine chalcopyrite was much lower than that of coarse chalcopyrite, …
