Description
Within this volume is a thorough coverage of the fundamental principles embracing modern theories of colloid chemistry applied to mineral
processing. It is written in respect for Dr. J.A. Kitchener, distinguished Reader in the Science of Mineral Processing in the Royal School
of Mines, Imperial College, University of London (recently retired). Dr. Kitchener's expertise in colloid chemistry has led to numerous
fundamental insights and practical advances in flotation, selective flocculation, and the treatment of slimes.
Colloid chemistry
is inevitably involved in all aspects of mineral processing, ranging from how collectors selectively adsorb on to mineral surfaces in
flotation, to the forces which control the stability of dispersions of submicron particles, as well as embracing the behaviour of hydrolyzed
metal ions in solid-water slurries. The intelligent use of this information is essential in the effective design of separation processes
and strategies by the mineral processor. Up to date bibliographies are included at the end of each of the 13 chapters making this volume
a useful general resource for researchers, students and mineral processors.
