A problem for solving mass balances in mineral processing plants is the calculation of circulating load in closed circuits. A family of possible methods to the resolution of this calculation is the iterative methods, consisting of a finite loop where each iteration the initial solution is refined in order to move closer to the exact solution. The …

1 Froth Flotation – Fundamental Principles. Froth flotation is a highly versatile method for physically separating particles based on differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to specific mineral surfaces in a mineral/water slurry. The particles with attached air bubbles are then carried to the surface and removed, while ...
