Abstract. Coal flotation is a complex process involving several phases (particles, oil droplets and air bubbles). These phases simultaneously interact with each other and with other species such as the molecules of a promoting reagent and dissolved ions in water. The physical and chemical interactions determine the outcome of the flotation process.

Froth flotation is one of the most commonly used methods for the beneficiation of natural graphite resources [1,2,3,4].In graphite flotation, hydrophobic particles are selectively captured and transported by rising air bubbles, leaving hydrophilic gangue minerals in the suspension and discharging as tailings [].Therefore, bubble plays an indiscernible role in mineral flotation.
The selective separation of hydrophobic coal particles from hydrophilic gangue minerals by froth flotation dates back to the 1920s. Prior to this, commercial applications of froth flotation were limited only to ores and minerals finer than 100 µm in size (Nguyen and Schulze, 2003). In coal flotation, particles finer than 500 µm are commonly ...
The most widely accepted method for upgrading ultrafine coal is froth flotation. Froth flotation is a physicochemical process that separates particles based on differences in surface wettability. Flotation takes place by passing finely dispersed air bubbles through an aqueous suspension of particles (Fig. 17). A chemical reagent, called a ...
The response of coal to the froth flotation process is measured initially by a laboratory scale test. ISO 88581:1990 provides a means of evaluating the general flotation characteristics of a coal under a set of specified conditions and will not necessarily indicate the full potential of that coal. It is accepted that variation of the many ...
Flotation is the process of separation of beneficial minerals from a mixture by creating froth on which minerals separate out. This is a method of mineral processing in which different minerals are separated selectively. The ores containing multiple metals, such as lead, copper and zinc, can be selectively extracted by using froth floatation.
Since froth flotation (and oil agglomeration) relies on the surface properties of coal in separating particles, coal petrology plays an important role in the process. Arnold and Aplan (1989) reported a number of studies which examined maceral partitioning or lithotype partitioning, generally without consideration of the maceral association.

In addition, the use of simultaneous ultrasound in coal flotation process produces a large number of cavitation microbubbles in the pulp, which can further stabilize the froth layer and improve flotation efficiency. This critical review will provide some guidance for more efficient use of ultrasonic technology in flotation of fine coal.
At the beginning of the froth flotation process, the coal particles are often agitated with a flotation reagent solution in a mixer intensely, and then the mixture is moved into an specially engineered cell for the actual coal flotation process. In the cell, air is sucked and effused by a rotational impeller (Fig. 1).
The coal samples were characterized by Xray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to understand the flotation and size distribution of coal. Therefore, the froth flotation technique at parameters of collector dosages ( kg/ton of diesel oil), frother dosages ( kg/ton ...

An inherent problem of their froth flotation process is the inefficient treatment of middling particles containing a small amount of coal on their surface. On the other hand, gravitybased processes can effectively remove middling particles containing only a small amount of coal.
A froth image dataset from the coal flotation site was divided into seven interval classes based on concentrate ash content, and data augmentation was used for this dataset. Then, several stateoftheart convolutional neural networks (AlexNet, VGG_16, VGG_19, ResNet_18, ResNet_34, ResNet_50, ResNet_101) are trained to classifying the froth ...
As discussed in chapter 3, the froth flotation process is an acceptable operation for mineral processing. However, most chemical reagents used in this process are toxic to human health such, as sodium cyanides, sulphites, and potassium dichromates (Lin et al. 2017; Khoso et al. 2019b). In this regard, the implementation of microbial biomass ...

Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while the particles that remain completely wetted stay in the liquid phase. Froth flotation can be ...
Creating a Froth for Flotation. Important to the flotation process is controlling the surface tension of the interface among the bubbles, the aqueous solution, and the hydrophobed particles. This is achieved by a combination of the design of the flotation machine (called a flotation cell) and the use of a second class of surfactants known as ...

Froth flotation is one of the most versatile and flexible of all mineral separation processes. Reasonable results are fairly easy to obtain but outstanding performance from a circuit requires constant attention and good understanding of the process and ore.

Flotation is an important part of coal preparation, and the flotation column is widely applied as efficient flotation equipment. This process is complex and affected by many factors, with the froth depth and reagent dosage being two of the most important and frequently manipulated variables. This paper proposes a new method of switching and optimizing control for the coal flotation process.
Coal flotation is the most proficient technique used to improve the nature of fine particles by diminishing pollution substance (Majumder and Barnwal, 2011). The hypothesis of froth flotation is complex and has not been fully comprehended. This reality has been brought by many difficulties observed in coal preparation plants (Ye et al., 2017).
Generally, entrainment is a twostep transfer process [17,18,19,20], one at the upper layer of the pulp to the flotation froth, and the other from froth to the the first step, the literature has reported three accepted mechanisms, which are boundary layer theory [21,22,23], bubble wake theory [22,23,24], and bubble swarm theory [22, 25].
