摘要
A number of flotation circuits for the recovery of a poorly floating coal were investigated by laboratory batch testing. Analysis of the size and ash distributions of the products and tailings showed that the circuits which would allow an equitable distribution of collector between the coarse and fine size fractions were superior. These circuits were two-stage reagent addition, reflotation of classified tailings and split feed flotation. The reflotation of classified tailings circuit not only gave the best metallurgical performance, it also was the least affected by pulp density variations and imperfect size classification. © 1979.
