Funded Activity Summary

Mineral Flotation - Integrating Science and Practice. Froth flotation is one of the most important processes in the recovery of valuable minerals from ores. This project aims to achieve a quantum improvement in the understanding of flotation, delivered as a computer model that will predict flotation response from measurable particle properties such as size, mineral composition and hydrophobicity. Providing the scientific foundation for the current practice of flotation, it will also allow floatability to be predicted when regrinding, oxidation or reagent addition occurs, which is beyond the scope of any current modelling approach. The model will be validated on full-scale flotation plants in Australian mineral processing operations.
