| Abstract: | The review is in three main sections. First, the observation that overall flotation performance deteriorates for the finest particles is confirmed, but the precise effects of particle size on recovery, grade, and flotation rate are shown to be more complex. In the second section an assessment is made of theories which have been proposed to explain the slower flotation rate of ultrafines, the effects of slime coating, and the flotation of slimes with cationic collectors. The last section of the paper gives a critical evaluation of methods which are claimed to improve the flotation of ultrafine particles. |
