Funded Activity Summary

A Paradigm Shift in the Hydrodynamics of Ion Flotation. Ion flotation has delivered remarkable separations via high selectivity, recovery and concentration upgrade. Yet, the technology has not provided solutions that are economically viable. This new project, however, aims to deliver the paradigm shift required in the flotation hydrodynamics to finally permit ion flotation to be applied to a broad range of industrial problems. Specifically, the aim is to increase extraction rates by more than an order of magnitude by dramatically increasing bubble-liquid segregation rates, and bubble-surface fluxes. In turn the project is expected to develop a new line of solutions to industrial problems in hydrometallurgy for recovering precious metals and for solving toxic environmental problems.
