The mechanism of action of flotation reagents

 Dear colleagues, specialists, friends.
I propose to discuss an interesting topic. What is the most important thing in the reagent flotation mode? Share your opinion! We will all be very interested to know what is the main thing at your plant? What do you pay the most attention to? Have a nice chat!

The mechanism of action of flotation reagents and the intended effect depends on:
1. Type of flotation reagents, dosage and order of addition.
2. Method of preparation of flotation reagents.
3. Use independently or as a mixture with other flotation reagents.
4. Conditioning time of the flotation reagents with the pulp.
5. Addition points for flotation reagents.
6. Type of minerals and particle size.
7. Presence in the mineral of fine, ultrafine particles, clays.
8. Hardness of water and type of machinery.
9. Circuit configuration and circulating load.
10. Conditioning time.
