Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice

      Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice is a condensed form of the fundamental knowledge of chemical reagents commonly used in flotation and is addressed to the researchers and plant metallurgists who employ these reagents. This book consists of three distinct parts: part 1 provides detailed description of the chemistry used in mineral processing industry; part 2 describes theoretical aspects of the action of flotation reagents, while part 3 provides information on the use of reagents in over 100 operating plants treating Cu, Cu/Zn, Cu/Pb, Zn, Pb/Zn/Ag, Cu/Ni and Ni ores.

    Looks at the theoretical aspects of flotation reagents
    Examines the practical aspects of using chemical reagents in operating plants
    Provides guidelines for researchers and engineers involved in process design and development

       Provides a valuable tool for mineral technologists and metallurgical engineers working in mineral separation plants, researchers in mineral processing and university students.Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice provides a condensed form of the fundamental knowledge of chemical reagents commonly used in flotation addressing the researchers and plant metallurgists who employ these reagents. This series of books consists of three distinct parts: Volume 1 provides detailed description of the surface and colloid chemistry principles involved in the mineral processing industry and the flotation of sulphide minerals; Volume 2 describes the flotation of Gold, PGM and oxide minerals, while Volume 3 provides information on the use of reagents in over 100 operating plants treating industrial and oxidic minerals. Written in a clear, easy-to-follow format and including multiple instances of data from innovative technology, Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice is an indispensable reference for any professional working with flotation reagents.
