The Flotation of Saline Waters in Technological Facilities or Environmental Problems

Abstract

The stability of the foam in flotation with the increase of NaCl in technological waters increases the efficiency of the process while achieving a yield of 90%. Additionally, it should be noted that effectiveness of the flotation process depends on the size of the feed particle. Conducting the coal of flotation process in saline water can benefit from conscious enrichment control to increase its effi - ciency, also by reducing reagent consumption and thus reducing costs at this technological stage. Most importantly, it enables the mining industries to recycle the industrial waters. In publications, there is a review of the knowledge related to salt flotation and it presents the results of the analysis of the efficiency of the flotation process for coal as a raw material. The qualitative parameters of the enrichment products were evaluated based on flotation tests that were carried out for variable pulp salinity conditions. The main aim was to determine the impact of technolo - gical water quality on the course and effectiveness of the flotation process.
