Granulometric Characterization of Flotation Products

Abstract:

This work aimed on the granulometric characterization of flotation products and to analyze the effect of the variables (that were investigated in a flotation work) on the particle size distribution parameters. Besides to compare the parameter values of the granulometric analysis for the concentrate and tailing both results were compared with the parameter values of the flotation feed samples. The analyzed parameters showed lower values for the concentrate products as compared with the parameters for tailing and feed samples. For coarse and fine particle size fractions the column height was the variable that more influenced on the parameter values.
