This paper modifies an experimental system previously used by Verrelli et al. to investigate particle–bubble attachment. Three different flow configuration cases were studied to investigate the effects of flow environment on the particle–bubble interactions and to model a situation more characteristic of real industrial froth flotation processes.
The application, procedures and criticsms of all scales of froth flotation testwork are reviewed ranging from single mineral studies in the laboratory to pilot plant trials. The importance of the initial stage of defining the objectives and evaluation criteria of testwork together with a considered experimental plan is emphasised.
Froth stability is a critical factor for flotation and even a small decrease in froth stability causes a decrease in the recovery of desirable minerals (Hadler and Cilliers, 2009, Hadler et al., 2012, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017a, Kowalczuk and Drzymala, 2017). Although frothers improve flotation rate and recovery, a very high frother ...
