Flash flotation… and the plight of the coarse particle
Adjustment of flotation conditions, such as reagent addition rate and pH have a much greater impact on coarse particle flotation than any other size range (Trahar, 1981) and specialty reagents are often required to extend the upper size limit of flotation (Yoon et al., 2002).An example which highlights the impact of pH on the coarse fractions is given by Senior …
Roughing and cleaning flotation behaviour and the …
As the garnet content in the cleaning flotation pulp increases, the viscosity of the flotation pulp decreases and the flotation rate increases; the floc morphology changes from big-branch type to globule-like and the flotation froth becomes cleaner. It is also found that the changes in the fluid properties of the flotation slurry caused by the ...

The interaction of flash flotation with closed circuit grinding
The model of flash flotation and closed-circuit grinding was developed using two data sources––operating data from a plant survey and the results of laboratory flotation tests. The objective of the laboratory testwork was to simulate flash flotation so that the results were comparable to the performance of flash flotation in the plant.
