EVALUATION OF FROTHER PERFORMANCE IN COAL FLOTATION…
Separation efficiency in flotation depends, to a considerable extent, on the efficiency of the frother used. A successful frother must achieve a delicate balance between froth stability and non-persistency. Ideally, the frother is not supposed to influence the state of the surface of the coal and minerals. In practice, however, interaction does …

Using a downflow flotation column, we comparatively investigated the effects of two addition modes on clean coal production and bubble characteristics. These modes are traditional frother mode, which involves the direct addition of liquid Sec-Octyl alcohol (2-octanol) to slurry, and a novel addition mode, which injects 2-octanol vapor into the ...

Coal flotation using a biosurfactant from
The biosurfactant was examined in coal flotation as a frother. The combustible matter recovery of 72–79% with 10–15.5% ash content supporting 55–57.5% separation efficiency seemed promising enough to introduce the biosurfactant from Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a new frother.
Effect of alcohol and polyglycol ether frothers on …
In this research, fundamental two phase frother characterization parameters were tried to correlate with the coal flotation behavior.

The flotation experiment results showed that the emulsified 2-octanol improved the yield of cleaned coal without affecting the ash content of cleaned coal, confirming the emulsification's ...
A comparative study of methyl cyclohexanemethanol and …
This flotation performance was comparable to that of 0.5 M NaCl solution, free of frother, suggesting that addition of MIBC or MCHM to the highly saline water had little impact on the flotation of coal B. These flotation test results suggest that MCHM is an effective alternative to MIBC in coal flotation systems where the use of MIBC is not ...
Study of interactions of frother blends and its effect on coal flotation
In any flotation process, frother type and its concentration affect the bubble–particle collision and their detachment.
