Carrier Flotation - application of modified glass bubbles in enhanced froth flotation separation of fine-ultrafine ores

Description

• Carrier Flotation - application of modified glass bubbles in enhanced froth flotation separation of fine-ultrafine ores
• Master theses / Compulsory internship / Volunteer internship
• Froth flotation is a widely applied physicochemical process for the enrichment of valuable metals in mineral processing. It operates by exploiting both inherent and induced differences in the surface properties of mineral particles.
• The project is at HIF-HZDR (Department of mineral processing). Steps include characterization, modification and surface characterization of hollow glass bubbles, flotation studies, and analysis of recovered fractions, leading to an optimized flowsheet and pilot-scale testing.
