Considering the effect of pulp chemistry during flotation on froth stability by Sheni, Nanji Ruth

“…In this study the Eh, pH, DO and IS were successfully manipulated to investigate their effects on froth stability and water recovery in 2-phase, as well as their effect on water and solids recovery, entrainment and the grades and recoveries of valuable minerals (copper, nickel, platinum and palladium) in 3-phase in the absence and presence of depressant at high dosages; 500 g/t Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC). Stability column tests were used to determine froth stability as a function of the dynamic stability factor (Barbian et al., 2005) and batch flotation tests were used to obtain the total water and solids recovered, the grades and recoveries of the valuable minerals as well as to determine entrainment. …”
