Literature shows that flotation is highly size dependent and processing both coarse and fine
size fractions is problematic. The latter is the subject of the current paper. Fine particles have …

Despite various initiatives and efforts, plastic solid waste (PSW) has become a major global
problem due to decades of relentless use of plastics. Since non-biodegradable plastics can …

Contact angle and the wetting behaviour of solid particles are influenced by many physical
and chemical factors such as surface roughness and heterogeneity as well as particle shape …

Kee** pace with explosive developments in the field, Colloidal Science of Flotation
reviews and updates the fundamentals of the bubble-particle collection phenomenon using …

Understanding the limits of fine particle flotation is the key to the selective separation of fine
mineral particles. Fine particles have low collision efficiencies with gas bubbles and float …

A critical review of the various models existing in the literature for the calculation of the
collision efficiency between particles and single, rising gas bubbles is presented. Although …

As the first of its kind, this book provides a valuable introduction for scientists and engineers
interested in liquid/fluid interfaces and disperse systems to the rapidly develo** area of …

The mechanism by which particles and bubbles interact captures many of the central
concepts of colloid science and hydrodynamics and is an example of heterocoagulation …

Conventional and non-conventional flotation for mineral processing and for water (and
wastewaters) treatment and reuse (or recycling) is rapidly broadening their applications in …

The effect of surface roughness and shape factor on behavior of particles in flotation has
been investigated. Surface roughness of various degrees was applied on spherical glass …
