In fact, the presence of fine particles not only improves the flotation recovery of the froth phase but also promotes the flotation recovery of coarse particles in the pulp phase [33]. Rahman et al. [4] used a unique device to measure the flotation efficiency of the collection zone for different particle size ranges.
Traditional sulfidation flotation methods struggle to effectively separate these fine-grained minerals. This study introduces a selective aggregate flotation …
The results showed that corn starch can aggregate fine hematite and thus reduce their entrainment in batch flotation, while hematite remained dispersed in slurry by corn dextrin and aggravate its entrainment. ... Interestingly, dextrin has rarely been used in iron ore flotation. Chang et al. ... To investigate the particle aggregation ...
The present study investigates the optimization and advanced simulation of the flotation process of coarse particles (–425 + 106) using micro-nanobubbles (MNBs).
Fig. 5 (c) shows that cavitation bubbles was attached the larger bubbles to form aggregates. In the flotation process, the attachment of bubbles and particles occurred in a short time. The bubble aggregation process was completed in a very short time, which would be helpful to the recovery of fine particles in the USW flotation …
With the depletion of rich fluorite ore, flotation process suitable for fine-grained fluorite is of great necessity. In this study, such method was preliminarily developed with a combination of in-situ surface modification and gas-liquid microdispersion.
Hydrodynamic cavitation enhanced ultra-fine particles flotation could be mainly due to the generation of nanobubbles in the process of cavitation, and their role in bridging particles to form ...
The aggregate behaviors of ultra-fine coal particles induced by NBs were then multidimensionally explored using particle-size distribution measurement, microscope imaging, and rheology tests. Additionally, the effect of NBs in the flotation of ultra-fine coal with different hydrophobicity was discussed.
The influence on fine particle aggregation and flotation behavior induced by high intensity conditioning (HIC) from saturated of the slurry with CO 2 saturation was investigated. Bubble size measurements were conducted.

The feasibility of dephosphorization using the flotation process and its mechanism of high-phosphorus oolitic hematite were discussed in this paper. The results showed that phosphorus minerals mainly exist in the form of collophane, which can be divided into three types. Block collophane and band collophane could be effectively …
Homo-aggregation flotation is a viable process to separate ultrafine minerals. Selectivity of homo-aggregation flotation depends on chemistry and hydrodynamics. Abstract. As a versatile separation technology, froth flotation has gained …
Many mitigation measures have been proposed in the literature to target the fine hydrophilic particles in the flotation process, mainly from physical/mechanical perspective. Notably, recent investigations suggest that selectively aggregating fine hydrophilic particles could reduce their entrainment to froth products and increase froth …
Aggregating fine hydrophilic materials in froth flotation to improve separation efficiency through a homo-aggregation flotation process: A literature …
High intensity conditioning(HIC) was used as a model to study the fundamental of fine sulphide particle flotation. The effect of impeller design, mechanical energy input, and agitation speed on aggregate size of fine sphalerite was tested.
In particular, the effects of hydrodynamics on fine and ultrafine particle flotation processes, including bubble-particle interaction, gas dispersion, flotation …
The production cost is excessively high under the conventional flotation process, and this results in a delay in the industrial production of flotation. This aspect clarifies that the difficult–to–float mechanism of CGFS is the premise for strengthening its flotation process.
The consensus on coarse particle flotation limitation is that of bubble-particle aggregate detachment (Xu et al., 2012, Jameson, 2010, Kohmuench et al., 2018, Dankwah et al., 2021.
1. Introduction. The importance of flotation, as a separation process, to the economy of the whole industrial world is considered to be enormous. Without this process, many familiar metals and inorganic raw materials would be exceedingly scarce and costly because the high-grade ores that could be processed by simple physical and …
The flotation and dehydration of the fine gasification slag were completed simultaneously, which simplified the process. Xu et al. [88] compared the traditional flotation machine with the new cyclone-static micro bubble flotation column (FCSMC) and studied their ability to remove unburned carbon in fly ash, as shown in Fig. 16. The …
The flotation process is a separation technique primarily used in mineral processing for the recovery of minerals (Wills and Finch, 2016), that also finds application in other industrial processes such as wastewater treatment and paper recycling (Saththasivam et al., 2016, Vashisth et al., 2011). Separation of mineral particles by flotation ...
Tiny bubbles generated by cavitation increased the contact angle of solids and attachment force, bridged fine particles to form aggregates, minimized slime …
In view of the tendency of fine gold recover by floating and the dominance of heavy minerals, the prospects for flotation were worthy of re-investigation, particularly with the new tools of the air sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) and the flotation column.
This study details the work done to evaluate the effects of different reagents and pretreatment agents on fine anthracite coal flotation performance.
Concurrent evidence of particle interactions has been observed using optical microscopy. Significant aggregation to 20–30 μm aggregates during agitation conditioning before reagents was observed. Fine particles exhibit poor flotation response and some aggregation after Cu(II) activation alone.
Hydrodynamic cavitation enhanced ultra-fine particles flotation could be mainly due to the generation of nanobubbles in the process of cavitation, and their role in bridging particles to form aggregates.
