Effect of Mineral Particle Size on Froth Stability

Mineral particles offer an added stability to three-phase froths, in addition to the stability imparted by frothers. The ability of particles to influence froth stability is particle size dependent. Knowledge of the quantitative effect of particle size on froth stability is essential for froth flotation model development and prediction. This study investigated the extent to which discrete particle size fractions, as well as mixtures of particle size classes, affect the stability...
