Abstract
ABSTRACTThis experimental work on graphite flotation investigated the effect of energy input on flotation performance of three particle size fractions. Results obtained from flotation tests indicated that the required energy input rate increases with the decreasing particle size. The maximum graphite recovery of coarse particles was obtained at 121 J/min, while the optimum recovery of fine particles was obtained at 330 J/min. However, the demand of energy for each coarse particle is slightly higher than that of the fine particle in collision process. Numerical analysis showed that the streamlines have little effect on the trajectories of coarse particles, which can significantly contribute to a higher recovery of coarse particles in comparison with fine particles at the same energy input rate.
