Abstract

In this study, the flotation behavior of hard coal products having different particle shapes produced by different grinding conditions was investigated with and without reagents. As a reagent kerosene + isooctanol mixture was used in coal flotation. The flotation kinetics of coal particles with different shape was studied as a function of time. Shape characteristics of the particles were investigated by Leica Qwin program. The results showed that particles presenting lower fullness ratio and roundness properties were recovered better during flotation of the coal mineral studied. As a result, the shape of the particles produced by the ball mill changed upon to their roundness, their floatability was increased.
