Effect of clay minerals on froth stability in mineral flotation: a review

摘要: The reactivity of clay minerals and variety these reactions are greater than any other known colloidal material. While it is acknowledged that can cause problems in mineral flotation, the literature contains conflicting evidence, particularly with respect to effect clays on froth stability. It well achieving maintaining optimum stability an influential factor determining flotation performance. However, presence ore a major challenge obtaining stable froth. In fact, could reduce performance by both decreasing or increasing mechanism which affect not fully understood needs be investigated further. order improve performance, reliable knowledge essential discussed this paper.
