Flotation ’19 features 2 discrete symposia:

November 11-12: Flotation Fundamentals: Physics and Chemistry

Although now over a hundred years old, the fundamental aspects of flotation are still being intensively researched, and new machines developed. This two day symposium will focus on:

– Fundamental reagent and flotation chemistry
– Bubbles, froths, bubble-particle interactions
– Flotation cell hydrodynamics, kinetics and scale-up

November 13-14: Flotation Applications and Plant Practice

This two day symposium focuses on the application of flotation, and will include sessions on:

– Plant Operations, particularly related to new technology, and process mineralogy problems
– Flotation Circuits, and their modelling, simulation, control and optimisation
– Flotation machine developments
– Metallic, non-metallic and coal flotation
– Environmental considerations
