Abstract

In this study, blasting method was applied to modify the morphology of particles. The extent of blasting was changed at different nozzle pressures through which shape factor and roughness of particles and their corresponding flotation recoveries were investigated. Performance of un-blasted and blasted particles in the system was measured by floating the particles of different characters in a micro-flotation cell. The results of these tests were correlated with shape factors and roughness values of particles that were analysed with Image Analysis, SEM and Optical Profilometer methods. It is shown that particles of higher angularity and roughness exhibited better floatability.
