Kinetic Theory of the Flotation of Small Particles

Kinetic Theory of the Flotation of Small Particles. Until recently the flotation theory has been reduced to the thermodynamic study of adhesion of particles to the surface of a bubble. This approach made it possible to analyze the problem of selectivity of large-size particles (~100 µm or more), which is of major importance for ore dressing.

Kinetics of Flotational Enrichment for Coal with Elevated

If the coal's content of fine slurry is high, flotation will be slower, on account of the coal particles' greater specific surface. In addition, some of the fine particles will be lost to the tailings on account of unsuccessful flotation. Another portion of the fine slurry will enter the concentrate, thereby increasing its ash content.
