Froth flotation is a popular process used for the extraction of certain minerals from ore. The effective automatic control of this process has great financial importance. Utilising machine vision as the measurement component of an automatic flotation control system has several advantages: it is a cost effective solution due to its non-contacting sensors and consequent low maintenance, as well a...

In this study, we investigated for the first time whether flotation-REST might be used for treating chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). Six women and one man, all diagnosed by licensed physicians as having chronic whiplash-associated disorder, participated. Two of the participants were beginners with regard to flotation-REST (2 or 3 treatments), and five of them had experienced between...

The flotation version of restricted environmental stimulation technique (REST) has been shown to improve perceptual-motor skills in sports and creativity in the sciences. We examined whether these effects would extend to jazz improvisation—an activity involving perceptual-motor coordination and creativity. College students enrolled in an intermediate-level jazz improvisation class (N 1⁄4 8) flo...

Traditional processing of kaolin is achieved by dispersion of the mined ore and classification by means of multistage hydrocyclones. The inefficiencies inherent to cyclones produce a middling product that is commonly disposed back to the quarry. In this research recovery of kaolinite from tailings of the Zonoupz kaolin washing plant, which is located in Iran, was investigated by cationic flotat...

A high percentage of high-ash fine slime materials can deteriorate flotation selectivity through surface covering. This covering the is one issues that need to be addressed for efficient processing difficult-to-separate and coals. In this study, we investigated depression effect SPP on mud by kinetic tests. We also revealed mechanism enhanced coals means Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Ener...
