INFLUENCE OF HYDROCARBON OILS ON FORMATION OF FLOTATION COMPLEX OF PARTICLE-BUBBLE

Abstract

Influence of molecularly sorbed reagents on formation of flotation complex of particle-bubble has been investigated. Results of the investigations have shown that presence of the reagents leads to increase in speed of fluid outflow from film separating the mineral particle and bubble. This acceleration occurs after local breaking of the film. In this case, time of forming the perimeter of three-phase contact is reduced. Physical properties of collector are discussed. These properties influence formation and stability of complex of complex of particle-bubble. Time of contact interaction between particles and bubbles increases.
