摘要

Froth flotation is the key separation and concentration step in the industrial processing of low grade ores. The fundamental interaction required for flotation is between particles and thin liquid films, both for attachment to the bubbles, and the stability of the froth. The particle shape after comminution depends on the specific mineral; for example, galena breaks into an orthorhombic shape, while talc forms flat, plate-like grains. When such particles attach to a bubble they distort the liquid- vapor interface in a way that depends on both their shape and hydrophobicity. Some particle orientations are more energetically stable than others and will be adopted preferentially. For orthorhombic particles there are four stable orientations, which are identified. Their stability is quantified using surface energy models. The combination of particle orientation and hydrophobicity also affects the stability of the thin liquid film between bubbles. By simulating the particles in the film, it is possible to identify which orientations most stabilize the liquid film. It is shown that a particle with a low hydrophobicity will adopt orientations that more stabilize the film than those with a high hydrophobicity. Dynamic models of particle stabilized liquid films are developed so that the interaction between several particles on the film can be investigated. The agglomeration of spherical particles on a film and the dynamic, self orientation of non-spherical particles will be demonstrated. While these simulations are extremely useful, experimental results are necessary to both validate the models and give further insight into the system under investigation. Experiments investigating liquid-vapor interfacial distortion are related back to the simulations. Dynamic results related to flotation systems capture particle and film behavior during bubble coalescence and bursting, and illustrate experimentally the effects of shape and hydrophobicity.
