Numerous studies have been undertaken on contact angles since the 1st IMPC. Many of these related to the relationship between spreading coefficient and the interfacial tensions (e.g. Kitchener, 1960, Leja and Poling,1960).Other studies focused on the relationship between contact angle and recovery (Smith and Lai, 1966) and the …

Mineral Processing. Mineral processing is the process in which chemical or physical methods are used to separate the useful minerals in the ore from the useless minerals (usually called gangue) or hazardous minerals, or to separate multiple useful minerals. In the early years, mineral processing was called mineral concentration or …
