The environment in the flotation cell has a significant impact on the detachment of coarse particles from the bubbles and environments that are more quiescent favour coarse particle flotation [2] . The particles are detached from bubbles due to bubble oscillations, gravitational forces and turbulent forces in agitated flotation machines [3] .

Coarse VS Fine Flotation It is a very natural assumption upon the part of many people that, the finer the particles are, the easier it is to float them. This assumption has rested on two grounds: Finer particles in a given ore are more extensively liberated.

Generally, the flotation recovery and efficiency deteriorate rapidly when operating in the extremely fine (<10 m) or coarse particle size ranges (>250 m). For minerals such as phosphate, the existing conventional flotation practices are optimal only for the recovery of particles in the size range of about 45 to 250 m.

ABSTRACT Literature shows that flotation is highly size dependent and processing both coarse and fine size fractions is problematic. The latter is the subject of the current paper. Fine particles have a relatively high surface area, and therefore more reagents are needed for their processing. In addition, the problem of fine particle flotation is mainly due to their low collision and ...

Coarse and fine particles are often not recovered during the flotation processes or are poorly recovered. There is a general agreement that flotation decreases with a decrease in particle size in the fine particle range. However, it should be noted that in mineral processing, ores are ground to liberate minerals and not produce fine powder.
