Principles of physico-chemical optimisation of mineral flotation

摘要

A new hypothesis based on thermodynamic andkinetic functions of chemisorbed and physisorbed collectorspecies is offered. It allows to explain the existing trends inimprovement, optimisation and intensification of mineralflotation and to elaborate the quantitative physico-chemicalmodels of selective flotation of minerals suitable for perfectionand optimisation of technological processes at the plants.
