separation method that is widely used in coal beneficiation for the separation of fine coal particles from associated minerals in water slurries. Since the cumulative recovery of a component in the concentrate is proportional to flotation time, the flotation process can be considered as a time-rate recovery process (Emad, Mohammad, and Bahram, 2010). Therefore, the general mathematical flotatio...

Flotation is one of the most important mineral concentration techniques. It is known that the appearance of the froth in the flotation cells tells much about the state of the flotation process. A machine vision measurement device was used to compute dynamical, morphological and colour variables of the froth on the top of a flotation cell during a set of experiments. In order to examine the depe...

As in many other microorganisms, the growth rate of C. tropicalis is affected by phenol. Besides, when the yeast is aerobically cultivated in a medium containing phenol, using a bubble column, the yeast cell flotation phenomenon occurs, which makes the continuous operation of this type of reactor difficult. Therefore, a system of phenol degradation, which recycles the biomass separated by flota...

A study was carried out to determine the effect of water quality on flotation performance. The experimental test work comprised of batch flotation tests using Denver lab cell for a period of 10 minutes. Nine different test runs were carried out in triplicates to ensure reproducibility using different water types from different thickener overflows, return and sewage effluent water (process water...

the estimation of metallurgical parameters of flotation process from froth visual features is the ultimate goal of a machine vision based control system. in this study, a batch flotation system was operated under different process conditions and metallurgical parameters and froth image data were determined simultaneously. algorithms have been developed for measuring textural and physical froth ...
