Résumé :

An experimental and theoretical study of froth flotation separation of kaolinite from other associated minerals of china clay is presented herein. A new laboratory flotation equipment has been designed and built for the above study. Its novel features are discussed. Effects of physico-chemical variables such as pH, initial solid concentration of feed, froth height and air flowrate are studied by systematically carrying out series of semi-batch kinetic experiments. pH is shown to influence both recovery and grade of the product. The effects of pH are interpreted in terms of particle/particle in

Résumé :

Froth flotation is a separation process by which particles are selectively attached to air bubbles. It is one of the most dynamically complex industrial processes in use today. This complexity has steered research towards understanding the fundamental principles of the process. Relatively few researchers have successfully attempted to create a flotation simulator based on first principles. This thesis presents the development and testing of a simulator called SimuFloat, which is based on the flotation model developed at Virginia Tech.

Most of this work is very mineral specific and centres around one or two operating variables. One of the major obstacles to understanding the effects of such pretreatment more fully, and to developing a global understanding of conditioning, is the system specific nature of the procedures applied to each mineral, and the apparently conflicting results across a range of mineral types.

In this research work, three types of flotation models (discrete, mean rate and the gamma function models) are modified based on the relationship between mass recovery and recovery. The modified models can be used to calculate both the recovery and grade of concentrate. Experimental work was carried out by using three different samples, which are chalcopyrite, coal and complex sulphide. In the chalcopyrite and coal flotation, air flow rate (AFR) was varied and different size fractions were considered in coal flotation.

The surface properties of crandallite relevant to the anionic flotation of salt-type minerals were investigated through electrokinetic, turbidity, and wettability techniques. All the tests were performed on fine crandallite particles as a function of pH and reagent concentration. The selected reagents included starch and oleic acid. From the zeta potential measurements, the iso-electric point of crandallite was found to be at pH 5.5 and the mineral surface can be expected to be negatively charged under typical flotation conditions (pH 9-11).

Résumé :

Froth Flotation is an industrial separation process commonly used in the primary enrichment of run-of-mine mineral material. Over the past 100 years, much of the process's development has come from empirical evolution, rather than fundamental understanding. While many of the governing sub-processes are still poorly understood, the primary influential factors lie within the chemical, equipment, and operational variables unique to each flotation system. This investigation focuses on the phenomenological investigation of the equipment variables, particularly the rotor design, at the laboratory

Liberation of valuable mineral is essential for its effective separation from gangue. Prediction of liberation requires quantification of texture of the rock and structure of the progeny particles in terms of probability functions.

A transformation matrix model that explicitly incorporates mineral liberation has also been developed to quantify the influence of mineral liberation on flotation performance.

Column flotation cells have become increasingly popular in the coal industry due to their ability to improve flotation selectivity. The improvement can be largely attributed to the use of froth washing, which minimizes the nonselective entrainment of ultrafine minerals matter into the froth product. Unfortunately, the practice of adding wash water in conventional flotation machines has been largely unsuccessful in industrial trials.

It is essential to have a good understanding and representation of the flotation phenomena in order to design control strategies.

Résumé :

Froth flotation is a widely used, cost effective particle separation process. However, its high performance is limited to a narrow particle size range, e.g., between 50 µm and 600 µm for coal and between 10 µm and 100 µm for minerals. Outside this range, the efficiency of froth flotation decreases significantly, especially for difficult-to-float particles of weak hydrophobicity (e.g., oxidized coal). Nanobubbles integrated into a specially designed column flotation expanded the particle size range for efficient froth flotation as a result of increased probabilities of particle- bubble collisio

Résumé :

The mining industry is faced with a challenge to develop efficient and economically feasible processing routes owing to the depletion of high-grade ores, and the ever increasing demand for precious metals for a wide range of applications. The valuable minerals, PGMs (Platinum Group Minerals) and BMS (Base Metal Sulphides) in the ores are extracted through the aid of chemical reagents (activators, collectors, depressants, frothers, modifiers) which are added to the flotation circuits to facilitate the separation between these minerals and the undesired gangue minerals present in the ore. The pr

Résumé :

Flotation is a process of separating particulate materials of different surface properties in a hydrodynamic environment, and is used extensively for separating different minerals from each other in the mining industry. In this process, air bubbles are introduced at the bottom of a particulate suspension (pulp), so that bubbles coated with hydrophobic particles rise to the top and form a froth phase while hydrophobic particles stay in suspension. The selectivity of the flotation process is determined by the hydrophobicity of the particulate materials involved, while the kinetics of the process

Résumé :

The South African coal mining industry generates large volumes of coal ultrafine waste (< 150 microns) each year, with a significant amount being dumped in tailing slurry dams. These slurry dams have been associated with prolonged pollution and loss of valuable resources. In the two stage flotation process developed at the University of Cape Town, froth flotation is used to both recover coal (stage 1) and remove pyritic sulfur (stage 2) from ultrafine coal waste, resulting in three outputs streams: a saleable coal product, a small volume sulfide-rich stream, and a reduced volume sulfide lean t

Résumé :

An efficient numerical framework for the macroscale simulation of three-phase polydispersed flows is presented in this thesis. The primary focus of this research is on modelling the polydispersity in multiphase flows ensuring the tractability of the solution framework. Fluidity, an open-source adaptive-mesh finite element code, has been used for solving the coupled equations efficiently. Froth flotation is one of the most widely used mineral processing operations. The multiphase, turbulent and polydispersed nature of flow in the pulp phase in froth flotation makes it all the more challenging t

Résumé :

This dissertation presents the results of an investigation to develop a two-stage flotation process to produce: (i) a low-volume sulfide-rich concentrate that can be treated chemically or biologically or disposed of in a contained manner; (ii) a high-volume (low sulfur) benign tailings, with low ARD potential compared to conventional tailings; and (iii) a coal concentrate that has added value on account of its low sulfur and ash content. Success requires integration of flotation, aqueous chemistry and mineral bioleaching expertise. The approach adopted in this exploratory study entails coal fl

Résumé :

Includes synopsis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 179-190).<br>Within froth flotation, it is widely acknowledged that froth stability affects flotation performance. As a result, it is expected that through the effective management of froth stability, it would be possible to both control and optimise a flotation cell and bank. However, for this to be possible, the relationships between the operating conditions, froth stability behaviour and flotation performance attributes need to be well understood. In addition, froth stability would need to be measured using a robust method su
