Description
Column flotation is one of the most important new developments to emerge in mineral processing technology in the last 50 years. Currently there is much research and development interest worldwide, and Professors Finch and Dobby are among the leading practitioners in the field. Column Flotation covers both fundamental and applied aspects. Following an examination of the properties of the collection and froth zones, there is detailed treatment of cleaning and selectivity, focussing on their dependence on operating variables. It concludes with an examination of the practical questions of column simulation, scale-up and control. The book is profusely illustrated throughout, with comprehensive glossary and nomenclature sections to assist newcomers to the field. Invaluable reading for mineral processing and chemical engineers, both practising and students, it provides a solid foundation to this rapidly emerging technique.

Audience
For researchers and practical mineral process and chemical engineers.
