dc.description.abstract |
Fine and ultrafine particles are successfully recovered by flotation when fine bubbles are present. Electroflotation is a technique in which fine bubbles are generated by the electrolysis of water. This article reviews the experimental studies into mineral recovery by electroflotation and the potential application of electrolytic bubbles in the recovery of fine and ultrafine mineral particles. The literature reveals that electroflotation resulted in better recoveries of ultrafine particles (e.g. dolomite, magnesite, and pyrite) as compared with dispersed-air flotation because electrolytic bubbles are smaller in size and are more active than those generated during dispersed-air flotation. | |
