Analysis of the results of industrial flotation of mineral raw materials
Abstract
The choice of the scheme and recipe for flotation of ores is usually made only by comparing the final separation indices with variations in processing conditions, which often does not provide sufficient material for confident judgments about the defects of the adopted technological process mode. Theoretically, the most justified method for analyzing the results of flotation is the method based on the data of studying the kinetics of the process in its individual stages. This method, proposed by K. F. Beloglazov, allows for a quantitative assessment of the results obtained, a pre-calculation of possible separation results, and is a tool for a strictly justified resolution of many controversial issues in practice. Below is an account of the experience of applying this method to the assessment of industrial flotation schemes.
