Investigating electrolyte-reagent-mineral interactions in response to water quality challenges in the flotation of a PGM ore

Froth flotation is a physicochemical process that enables the separation of valuable minerals and unwanted gangue minerals contained in an ore. It utilises the differences in surface properties of the minerals to be separated. Among other factors affecting flotation, water is a major factor as it ac...
