Flash flotation… and the plight of the coarse particle

The role of particle size in the flotation response of an ore has long been recognised as a key parameter affecting overall performance. Considerable research has gone into this area, but until very recently has often been limited to the fine and intermediate size classes, with work frequently performed using single minerals or fabricated mineral mixtures in idealised …
