The development and production of oil and gas fields would eventually result in a
considerable amount of oily generated water, posing serious risks to humans and the …

Bubble-particle interaction is of great theoretical and practical importance in flotation.
Significant progress has been achieved over the past years and the process of bubble …

Only when the process of particle detachment is well understood and modelled can minerals
recovery using the flotation process be modulated to achieve a high efficiency by suitably …

A comprehensive review of the published literature regarding the computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) modelling of the flotation process is presented. The detailed principles …

The effect of turbulence on the detachment between an air bubble and a glass bead (soda-
lime) with different hydrophobicity was comprehensively researched. An experimental …

Bubble-particle detachment plays a crucial role in flotation, affecting the recovery of coarse
particles. This study investigated the detachment of bubble-particle aggregates in both …

The cyclonic microbubble flotation column is an efficient separation equipment in the
beneficiation process of metallic and non-metallic minerals. However, the higher …

The paper presents the effect of impeller speed and superficial gas velocity on bubble-
particle attachment, detachment and collection efficiencies using pure quartz particles in a …

It is widely accepted that hydrophobic fine particles improve froth stability and thus increase
the recovery of coarse particles in the froth phase. In fact, the presence of fine particles also …

Although the pulp-froth interface is thought to be very important to particle detachment and
therefore overall flotation recovery, experimental evidence to back this is contradictory with …
