Coal flotation is a complex process involving several phases (particles, oil droplets and air bubbles). These phases simultaneously interact with each other and with other species such as the molecules of a promoting reagent and dissolved ions in water. The physical and chemical interactions determine the outcome of the flotation process.

Froth flotation is one of the most commonly used methods for the beneficiation of natural graphite resources [1,2,3,4].In graphite flotation, hydrophobic particles are selectively captured and transported by rising air bubbles, leaving hydrophilic gangue minerals in the suspension and discharging as tailings [].Therefore, bubble plays an indiscernible role in mineral flotation.
As discussed in chapter 3, the froth flotation process is an acceptable operation for mineral processing.

Froth flotation is a physicochemical separation technique that exploits the difference in the surface wettability of mineral particles (Wills and Finch, 2016).From a heterogeneous mixture of solids, hydrophobic particles are made to attach to gas bubbles and subsequently carried to the froth phase and recovered as a froth product (typically the value mineral concentrate), while hydrophilic ...

EXPLANATION OF THE FROTH FLOTATION PROCESS IN DETAIL The main principle of the froth flotation process depends on the differences in the wetting properties of the sulfide ore and the impurities (which may or may not be nonsulfide ores). Figure 1: Froth flotation cell[4] The components of a flotation system are (figure 1):
The amt. and quality of conc. obtained from froth flotation of a coal are very important to det. the efficiency of the sepn. process. The shape and size of the bubbles in the froth directly affect the amt. and purity of the conc. overflowed during the froth flotation of the coal.
10th seam in the prime coking coal area where one section of about 1012 feet was extracted, the rest of the seam which is almost 50 feet thick was hardly worked, not for coking coal in any case. Now the full seam has to be worked. In many other places, the coal became dirtier. and it was no longer true that the fines were low in ash.

A machine vision is able to extract the froth features and present them to the plant operators or the process control system. In this communication, computer vision and machine learning techniques are integrated for recognition of process conditions of a coal column flotation circuit.
In the coal slime flotation process, the froth depth (pulp level) is one of the most frequently adjusted variables and has a significant influence on the performance of the flotation process. The froth depth measurement method is shown in Fig 3. An ultrasonic liquidlevel sensor is installed on the top of the tailing tank, a floating ball is ...
Flotation is the process of separation of beneficial minerals from a mixture by creating froth on which minerals separate out. This is a method of mineral processing in which different minerals are separated selectively. The ores containing multiple metals, such as lead, copper and zinc, can be selectively extracted by using froth floatation.

Flotation is an important part of coal preparation, and the flotation column is widely applied as efficient flotation equipment. This process is complex and affected by many factors, with the froth depth and reagent dosage being two of the most important and frequently manipulated variables. This paper proposes a new method of switching and optimizing control for the coal flotation process.
Flotation is widely used in particle purification and separation processes for mineral processing [].During flotation, particles collide with bubbles, and hydrophobic particles stay on the bubbles to be separated as froth [1,2,3].Coal froth is a type of threephase viscoelastic material comprising water, gas, and coal particles.
Froth flotation is one of the most versatile and flexible of all mineral separation processes. Reasonable results are fairly easy to obtain but outstanding performance from a circuit requires constant attention and good understanding of the process and ore. Some of the variables that affect the operation and control of a flotation process are ...

Since froth flotation (and oil agglomeration) relies on the surface properties of coal in separating particles, coal petrology plays an important role in the process. Arnold and Aplan (1989) reported a number of studies which examined maceral partitioning or lithotype partitioning, generally without consideration of the maceral association.
