商品簡介
Basing their work on concepts from colloid chemistry and colloidal hydrodynamics, Nguyen (U. of Newcastle, Australia) and Schulze (Max Planck Research Group for Colloids and Interfaces, Germany) describe phenomena of bubble-particle collection in froth flotation. Colloid science dealing with the interaction between particles in a dispersion medium is used to describe phenomena arising from bubble-particle encounter and attachment interactions, stability of bubble-particle aggregates, flotation froth, and flotation kinetics. They conclude with a discussion of industrial applications. Their review updates information contained in Schulze's earlier Physico-chemical Elementary Processes in Flotation .
