the estimation of metallurgical parameters of flotation process from froth visual features is the ultimate goal of a machine vision based control system. in this study, a batch flotation system was operated under different process conditions and metallurgical parameters and froth image data were determined simultaneously. algorithms have been developed for measuring textural and physical froth ...

Frothers havea profoundeffectonbubble size and also flotation efficiency. In present study the effect of type and dosage of frothers on the flotation response of coarse particles of quartz was investigated.  Therefore, flotation response of coarse particles using frothers such as MIBC, pine oil, poly propylene glycol with concentration of 0, 25, 50 and 75...

Starch, dextrin, sodium silicate (SS), and recently co-silicate (SCS) are the most known depressants for depression of iron oxides through traditional reverse flotation. However, all these depressants’ adsorption mechanisms on surface their main associated minerals (silicate phosphates) anionic flotation did not yet been thoroughly investigated. For filling this gap, as a comparative investigat...

The current paradigm argues the Moon formed after a giant impact that produced a deep lunar magma ocean (LMO). After a period of turbulent convection, the LMO experienced fractional crystallization, causing the initially peridotitic liquid to evolve to a plagioclase-saturated ferrobasalt. The lunar crust, much of which comprises 93-98% pure anorthosite [1,2], formed by flotation of positively b...

G. Siwiec, B. Oleksiak, J. Wieczorek Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland A. Blacha-Grzechnik Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland In the presented study the flotation process has been proposed as a method of enrichment of silver-bearing jewellery waste. This method, traditionally used for the enrichment of non-ferrous metal ores, is based on differences in wettabil...

A methodology for modelling and designing H∞ controllers for an experimental pilot-scale flotation column plant is described. Experimental results, including the modelling procedure and an H∞ design, are presented. For this purpose, different models, for different operating conditions, are determined, by means of system identification techniques. A strategy to get the uncertainty model, using a...

The function(s) of soluble silicates in repulpinghashing and flotation deinking of waste newsprint/magazine were investigated extensively, under optimized conditions. During repulping/washing, silicate ’s response was characteristic of a buffer and a detergent. It was responsible for a 3.0% increase in I S 0 brightness. In repulping/flotation, silicate accounted for a 6.1% increase in I S 0 bri...

Flotation tailings from copper production are deposits of copper and other valuable metals, such as Mo, V and U. New hydrometallurgical technologies are more economical and open up new possibilities for metal recovery. This work presents results of the study on the extraction of copper by mixed extractant consisting p-toluidine dissolved in toluene. The possibility of simultaneous liquid-liquid...

Clinical and histopathological findings in a litter of German Shepherd dogs consisting of seven puppies with acute inflammation confined to the footpads were reported. Affected footpads were characteristically erythematous, swollen and painful. Lesions were present on all four feet in 3/7 cases and on the rear feet in 4/7 cases. None of the dogs had evidence of ectoparasitism. Fecal flotation, ...

The influence of several parameters on removal of various impurities during vacuum flotation clarification of mixed juice has been investigated, and possible ways of dealing with the secondary precipitate obtained in this clarification process have been examined. Dispersed a~ir flotation clarification is described and the experience gained with this separation technique is recorded. Introductio...
