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
For mineral processors working in operating plants, researchers in the mineral processing industry and university students and professors
