摘要: Abstract Air recovery, or the fraction of air entering a cell that overflows lip as unburst bubbles, is an important measure froth stability it affects flow bubble surface to concentrate. An experimental campaign was carried out over first four cells rougher bank at South African platinum mine in order find relationship between and flotation performance function flowrate. The results showed peak recovery observed rate increased. Furthermore, this corresponded flowrate which highest overall obtained. This can be explained by understanding resulting changes structural features such loading suggests improved achieved operating under conditions result maximum stability.
