Mineralization Kinetics of Air Bubble in Pyrite Slurry under Dynamic Conditions

Resumo

The influence of the velocity and time of pyrite slurry stirring on the kinetics of air bubble mineralization is studied. The subject of the research was pyrite of −0.074+0 mm in size, and the collecting agent was sodium ethyl xanthate. The influence of the velocity and time of pyrite slurry stirring on the mineralization kinetics of air bubble is assessed. The conditions, hydrodynamic modes and time of pyrite slurry stirring to provide minimum and maximum areas of air bubble mineralization at the constant concentration of sodium ethyl xanthate are determined.
