Residual Dewatering Aids in Process Water on Flotation …
Flotation is a mineral processing technique used to separate valuable minerals from unwanted material (Fuerstenau et al., 2007, Wills and Napier-Munn, 2006).This study focused on the Merensky reef, found in the South African Bushveld Igneous Complex, which is home to the largest deposits of Platinum Group Minerals (PGMs) in the world.

On the other hand, fine particles (<20 µm) are poorly and inefficiently recovered by flotation because of a reduction in the particle-bubble collision probability when the particle size decreases (Reay and Ratcliff, 1973, Trahar, 1981, Sivamohan, 1990, Schubert, 2008).Since fine particles have small mass (and small inertial force), they are deflected by the hydraulic drag …
