Abstract. Coal flotation is a complex process involving several phases (particles, oil droplets and air bubbles). These phases simultaneously interact with each other and with other species such as the molecules of a promoting reagent and dissolved ions in water. The physical and chemical interactions determine the outcome of the flotation process.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The process of froth flotation for upgrading the quality of coal by removing mineral matter (ash and pyrite) has received increased attention since the 1960s. The froth flotation process is typically used for treating < size coal and is currently the only technique both effective and economical to clean coal on a commercial scale.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Since froth flotation (and oil agglomeration) relies on the surface properties of coal in separating particles, coal petrology plays an important role in the process. Arnold and Aplan (1989) reported a number of studies which examined maceral partitioning or lithotype partitioning, generally without consideration of the maceral association.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Pyrite recovery mechanisms in coal flotation. In most operating coalcleaning plants, a significant amount of pyrite is recovered in the froth during flotation of highsulfur coal. This pyrite recovery is commonly believed to be a result of pyrite particles floating due to hydrophobicity. However, even though a wide range of pyrite depressants ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while the particles that remain completely wetted stay in the liquid phase. Froth flotation can be ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Froth flotation is one of the most commonly used methods for the beneficiation of natural graphite resources [1,2,3,4].In graphite flotation, hydrophobic particles are selectively captured and transported by rising air bubbles, leaving hydrophilic gangue minerals in the suspension and discharging as tailings [].Therefore, bubble plays an indiscernible role in mineral flotation.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Introduction. Froth flotation is the largest tonnage separation in mineral processing by which valuable mineral is separated from waste rock. Advances in control and optimisation of the froth flotation process are of great relevance since even very small increases in recovery lead to large economic benefits (Ferreira and Loveday, 2000, Maldonado et al., 2007).
