Abstract

In March and April 1951, a seminar-discussion on the theory of flotation was held at the Leningrad Mining Institute. The seminar was attended by about 140 people representing 15 scientific organizations. Six sessions were held, at which three papers were heard and discussed: К. F. Beloglazov - Historical review of the development of the theory of flotation process abroad; К. F. Beloglazov - Basic regularities of the flotation process; С. I. Mitrofanov - Current state of the theory of flotation process. The liveliest discussion unfolded on the second report of K. F. Beloglazov. In the speeches was given a general assessment of the book by K. F. Beloglazov Laws of the flotation process, made a number of critical comments on some sections of the work and outlined further ways of development of research on the theory of the flotation process. A systematic presentation of the discussion on this work is given in an abbreviated form. At the end of the review there is a concluding word of Prof. K. F. Beloglazov, in which the questions not resolved in the discussion are clarified.
