  • Abstract
    Critical coalescence concentration (CCC) was determined in a laboratory-scale mechanical flotation cell for a series of coalescence inhibiting inorganic salts (KCl, NaCl, Na2SO4, CaCl2 and MgSO4) compared to two commercial frothers (methyl isobutyl carbinol, Dowfroth 250C). The salt CCC values ranged from 0.07 M (MgSO4) to 0.31 M (KCl and NaCl) and correlated with ionic strength. The CCC values are compared to transition concentrations in the literature. The effect of salts on gas dispersion in flotation systems is discussed.
