Column Flotation: Processes, Designs and Practices (Process Engineering for the Chemical, Metals and Minerals Industries, Vol 2)

Practically all mined ores of non-ferrous and rate metals and an increasing share of industrial minerals and coal are processed through flotation. This book presents the analysis of a wide range of problems in the process theory of flotation columns, including the first published analysis of models of flotation froths. The experience of pilot tests and commercial applications of column flotation for mineral processing and in waste water treatment circuits are also considered. This is the first book to consider column flotation design and operation experience and to present data on column parameters.
