Handbook is a condensed form of the fundamental knowledge of chemical reagents commonly used in flotation and is addressed to the researchers and plant metallurgists who employ these reagents. Consisting of three distinct parts:
provides detailed description of the chemistry used in mineral processing industry;
describes theoretical aspects of the action of flotation reagents
provides information on the use of reagents in over 100 operating plants treating Cu, Cu/Zn, Cu/Pb, Zn, Pb/Zn/Ag, Cu/Ni and Ni ores.
Suitable for mineral processors working in the operating plants, researchers in the mineral processing industry and university students and professors.
